The user-friendly, cross-platform password manager app, 1Password, finally arrives for all Linux platforms with native and full support. Currently, a development overview for Linux has been unveiled.
This is the initial version for testing and validation purposes only. Therefore, you should not use its Linux development overview for production or enterprise environments.
As expected, an official release with long-term support will be announced later this year after including new updates, features and changes over the next few months. However, if you want a stable version of 1Password for Linux, you can use 1 Password X in your browser.
1Password is available for all devices, browsers, and operating systems such as Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, Google Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Firefox. And now it will also be available for the Linux desktop.
1Password - A native Linux application
The 1Password Linux app is built using the Rust "Most Popular Programming Language" for a secure backend and the React.js library for a responsive component-based frontend. Therefore, the application includes full end-to-end encryption to meet both the security and performance expectations of Linux users.
Since this is a preview release, most of its functionality is not yet complete. Therefore, the 1Password Linux app is currently read-only, where you can sign in, view items, search, copy, etc., but you cannot edit or create anything.
Here are the currently supported features that the app has integrated for the Linux desktop app:
- Installation using apt and dnf packager managers
- Automatic dark mode selection
- Open network locations (FTP, SSH, SMB)
- Support for tile window manager and descriptive window titles
- Unlock with a Linux user account, including biometrics
- System tray icon to stay unlocked when closed
- Integration and deletion of the X11 clipboard
- Keyboard shortcuts support
- Data export
- Unlock multiple accounts with different passwords
- Create collections to organize data between accounts and vaults
