It lacks the one feature most of the world cares about, though: support for Android.



1password started on iOS and for a long time it was Apple-only. I've not checked it in ages, and when I went on the homepage today I probably got confused by their copy in the Products menu, which says "Go passwordless today and start using passkeys with 1Password in the browser and 1Password for iOS". I guess it's some specific feature only available in those versions, but I read it as them still having only iOS and web. Even if that's not the case, having features limited to the Apple world shows that Android support continues to be an afterthought.


Their Android client has been maintained for over a decade, from what I can see. It’s not something even remotely recent as you’re implying. I’ve used the Android client and it works great.

Passkeys aren’t supported in 1Password on Android because Google has not released APIs to allow that. Not because Android support is an afterthought. Which you would know if you had researched this: https://blog.1password.com/save-use-passkeys-web-ios/

Your comments on this topic are woefully out of date and wrong.
