1Password password manager comes with full Linux support

The popular proprietary password manager 1Password has full support for the Linux platform, including integration with GNOME, KDE desktops, and any window manager. An applet called from the system tray is implemented to manage passwords. Of the distributions, support for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Arch Linux and RHEL is declared. Additionally, self-sufficient packages in snap format and a universal assembly supplied in the .tar.gz archive have been prepared.

Of the features, automatic activation of a dark theme based on the selected GTK theme, support for accessing external resources via FTP, SSH and SMB, integration of support for X11 clipboards, support for GNOME Keyring and KDE Wallet, control API based on DBUS and command line, integration with a screen saver and services called when the system is inactive.

The keystore provided by the Linux kernel is used to securely communicate between components such as the desktop and browser password manager. The Linux version also introduces some new features not yet seen in the macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android releases: secure file attachment, document archiving, password security visibility interface, access logging, a quick search feature, and a new interface design concept.

The application code is written in Rust using the Ring module for encryption, the Electron framework, and the React framework for the interface. The project also opened two packages prepared during the creation of the Linux version - electron-secure-defaults and electron-hardener, which include elements to improve the security of applications using the Electron platform. 1Password is a proprietary paid product, but developers of any open-source projects are given the opportunity to use the program for free (you need to submit a pull request), including unlimited access to the Secrets Automation service.
