Items contain overviews and details which are encrypted separately
by the vault key. We encrypt these separate so that we can quickly decrypt the information needed to list, sort, and find items without having
to first decrypt everything in the vault.
Item overviews include the item fields needed to list items and to quickly match items to websites, such as Title, URLs, password strength indicator, and tags.
Additionally, 1Password makes the extra effort to never even send the URLs of your accounts to their servers. Even with their Watchtower service, which notifies you of breached accounts and websites that support 2-factor authentication, your passwords and website URLs are never sent to 1Password servers.
I had been a very happy customer for years before they started moving to that policy. It's what finally made me set up a vaultwarden instance and migrate all my stuff over.
I didn't like the move to a subscription model, but I'd have sucked that up if I could've continued to bring my own sync.
For those of us that have been using it for long enough, we can still use the "classic" version stuck at v7, but it means being able to self host. no monthly SaaS fees.
From what I can tell, v7 is Intel-only. That means when Apple sunsets Rosetta 2, it’s not going to work anymore. I’ll need to switch to something else before then, but hate Electron, and all the other options seem to use it (and now 1Password does, too).
That's a good catch. I'm still on a MacTel MBP, so this is not something I had ever considered. That's going to be just one more reason I'll keep the current laptop powered up on a shelf in the closet if/when I upgrade to a newer computer.
