Finally, a month and a half after announcing the initial release of the 1Password app for the Linux desktop, its co-founder Dave Teare has now ad the beta version of the full Linux desktop app '1Password'.
As you may know, 1Password is a user-friendly, cross-platform password manager app that has a stable version already available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and is now preparing for Linux-based operating systems.
1Password Beta for Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian and other Linux distributions
The backend of the 1Password Linux desktop app is built using Rust's 'most popular programming language' and the frontend using the most popular React.js component-based library.
In addition, the app also uses a secure, fast, Rust-based ring cryptocurrency library that provides full end-to-end encryption to meet both data security and performance expectations of Linux users.
Here are the features offered by the beta version of 1Password for Linux:
- Quick search and smart search suggestions
- Data export
- Nice user interface
- Watchtower dashboard
- System tray icon to stay unlocked when closed
- Unlock with a Linux user account, including biometrics
- Automatic dark mode selection according to your GTK theme
1Password also offers a free account offer for an individual or each member who works in an open-source team. The only thing you need to do is open a pull request in GitHub repo "1Password open source projects", and you'll receive a free membership to the 1Password team.
Finally, if you want to install 1Password on one of your Linux distributions, go to the official beta of 1Password for Linux. page. This will guide you through installing the app using the apt or rpm package repositories for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as using the Snap store.
If your distribution does not support apt, rpm, or snap, 1Password's AppImage is also available for download and use in other Linux distributions.
Just to remind you, you should also expect some bugs or glitches as 1Password for Linux is still in beta. However, more features of 1Password await you in the final stable release slated for early next year.
If you can't wait that long, remember that you can also use 1 Password X in your browser for a stable Linux experience.
