1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

So that every service I use can have a randomly generated, unique password. Therefore if one of them gets hacked and my password leaked, brute-forced, or decrypted, it won’t affect any other service.

Plus it stores passkeys and handles 2fa code generation, keeping them synced on all my devices, and ensures I never have to remember specific passwords because they’re all safely stored in heavily encrypted vaults guarded by the only single password I do have to remember. Also it notifies me if any of my information is in any breaches, or if I could do better to secure my account.

Trust me when I say, it’s safer, simpler, and smoother way to manage things.
