![]() ![]() But one of my examples was the case that I have two vault entries for one app (different credentials). I agree that it's more secure in that case. You're describing a reason why 1password requires users to select a vault entry for an app the first time they login to that app. I want it to be secure but the things I'm talking about are convenience without losing any security. That's what I mean about unnecessarily cumbersome. I still have to accept and link the credentials to the app as a next step so it's not adding anything security wise to require that I type in my search term myself. But when I go into 1P from there to search for the right credentials, it could at least pre-search using the name of the app. True, this could be any app called CVS and therefore 1P shouldn't just auto fill my cvs.com credentials right away. There's no security reason not to do that.Įven in the case of first time select of a vault entry for a given app, it's unnecessarily cumbersome. Once I have told 1password that I consider the discord app at whatever path it's at to be the app to link to the discord URL in my vault, that should be the end of it, and 1P should let me select any other vault entry with the same domain within that linked app going forward. It may seem cumbersome, but it's not unnecessarily cumbersome. Automatically linking vault entries to apps may be more convenient, but there's no way for any application to verify a file path on Android, so the user should always be asked that they trust the application first. LastPass did lots of things that seemed convenient, but often at the expense of security. ![]() Whether it was storing a users encryption key to disk, which saved the user having to input their password regularly, but made encryption keys stealable alongside the encrypted data or not requiring any secondary secret to encrypt data, which meant there was no secret key to keep safe, but put encrypted data solely at the mercy of a user's password strength. The answer is usually because LastPass often designed things to be as convenient as possible, even if it compromised security. ![]() There are, obviously, a lot of LastPass users coming over to 1Password at the moment, and there have been lots of questions about why 1Password does things differently, or doesn't seem as convenient in certain ways. It's a question of security vs convenience LastPass chose convenience, and 1Password chose security. But it also means LastPass could be spoofed into inputting login details into an untrusted application without any confirmation from the user. LastPass likely matches vault entries with file path names automatically, which is very convenient. The exact same issue exists with every password manager the way file paths work is determined by the OS's architecture, not the password manager. 1Password will remember these file paths for convenience so you can autofill apps, but only after you've confirmed you trust the app because there's no systematic method through which a password manager can verify this for itself. Unlike URL's, there's no ownership or security certificate for internal file paths, so they're totally untrustworthy. These file paths are totally unverifiable anybody can call an application file anything they like, and the Android package installer will neatly file their packages away in the relevant directory. I think the reason you have to manually link each entry is because 1Password (or indeed any password manager) has no way of verifying app directory file paths within Android.Īndroid usually stores app data in one of a couple of directories: We'll always be marked by an official flair, and will always love both 1Password and you.
