No, I haven’t screwed things up just yet, but in trying to connect to all my devices I realised just how ‘locked out’ of just about everything I’d be (both locally and online) without access to 1Password!<\/p>\n

I’ve been listening to all the scary cyber security stories, and whilst I’ll admit that many years ago I probably used 2-3 passwords for just about everything, I’ve been using 1Password<\/a> for quite a long time now and almost every password I use is unique and relatively complex.  Where possible, I’m also using 2-Factor Authentication (2FA)  which makes me feel a little more secure but also raises the issue of what would happen if I couldn’t access 1Password.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In macOS and iOS 1Password is pretty well integrated, and on the new MacBook Pro’s with the fancy Touch Bar, you can even use your fingerprint to unlock it.  I was planning to upgrade my MBA for one of these until Apple announced the pricing a month or so ago, at which point I decided that a MacBook (the small 12″ machine with only 1 USB-C port) would be my next Mac.  The MacBook Pro I would have bought was about twice the price, and whilst it would have probably been about twice as powerful, I just couldn’t justify spending \u00a32489 on a new Mac, especially when my 3-year-old MBA was still working perfectly.<\/p>\n

Anyway, somewhat off track!  I need access to 1Password to be able to do anything that requires a password, and whilst I could just look them up on my phone or MacBook and type them in, this really isn’t ideal when I’ve been used to simply clicking an icon!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, 1Password doesn’t have a Linux app (Mac and Windows only) and whilst it’s possible to install the extension in Chrome, it doesn’t work as the 1Password helper app isn’t running in the background.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I can access my 1Password account online so can copy and paste them rather than having to retype 16-20 characters!  Whilst this isn’t great, it could be worse and would probably be a deal-breaker if the alternative was keying them in.<\/p>\n

I’d need to find a much better solution to this if I were to contemplate moving to a Linux environment full time.<\/p>\n
