Rolling out our privacy-preserving telemetry system | 1Password
blog.1password.com"We won’t be collecting your saved passwords, passkeys, usernames, and any URLs associated with your items. Your private information is just that – private.
All event data will be de-identified and processed in aggregate before it’s used for analysis. "
It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I’m curious how its de-identified and processed.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Tough place for 1Password, who clearly want to be able to collect data to maintain a competitive edge, but have an audience of security conscious users who may not be comfortable with this. But as always transparency is appreciated.
It’s also incredibly important to note that they are making this explicitly opt-in. So none of that ‘dark pattern’ mumbo jumbo with the tyranny of the default–where companies opt you in and most users dont realize they have to opt-out.
All in all they are going about this the right way it seems. The devil will be in the de-identifying technical details imo.
Isn’t 1passwoed subscription only? If I remember correctly that’s what drove me away from a once great application.
and now they want to collect data from paying customers?? excuse me? are you insane?
crash and burn.
Just leaving a comment here since I haven’t seen anybody else mention it: participation is optional for Individual and Family plans, and at this time it will not be applied to Team and Business plans.
Sigh. What’s a good alternative for iOS?
If you’re not willing to trust what they say about the anonymity of the telemetry system, or to opt out, then I think you wouldn’t be happy trusting them with all your passwords in the first place!
If you’re willing to stick to Safari, then I think using Apple Keychain is best, especially since they’ll be adding sharing this year.
This seems transparent, well thought out, and opt-in. The headline concerned me but once I read the article this seems fine. I moved from LastPass to 1Password because of the horrible communication around breaches in the last few years.
You can use keepassXC and “self-host” your passwords on any cloud-storage you want (it’s just a file after all), but if you are using 1Pass at the moment, I don’t see an opt-in anonymized telemetry system as a reason to switch.
I’m happy with enpass myself for s few years now. it has all kind of sync options and wifi p2p sync if you want to be offline. they offer subscription shit, but luckily also a normal software license to buy.
I recently switched from Bitwarden to 1Password and don’t regret it one bit. Their app is substantially improved over Bitwarden. Layout is significantly more intuitive and autofill works better than Bitwarden on iOS/macOS.
Telemetry is one more attack vector, and it’s not a small one at that.
Product owners need to be laid off to stop the enshittification of these apps. Extremely disappointed in this move.
