1Password for Linux Beta releases
The first beta version of 1Password for Linux has been released, and the official version is planned to be launched early next year. 1Password is a popular password management software, compatible with multiple platforms such as macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android. It also supports a variety of browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc., including automatic filling, password saving, and management functions.
Prior to this, 1Password lacked support for the Linux platform, and it was not until August this year that the Linux version was announced. The latest beta version is already a fully functional Linux desktop application.
The 1Password development team called it is “A true Linux app” designed to meet the performance needs of Linux users while ensuring security. The Linux version of 1Password’s backend is completely written in Rust, and it also uses Rust’s ring encryption library to enhance end-to-end encryption. UI components are based on reactive React.
