@iolite @danarel
I am aware of their joining with PTio, your explanation does help a lot. I think getting people into privacy is a great thing. The only reason why I was concerned was
1. the privacy aspects of 1Password
2. The first thing that comes to mind when you mention 1Password is affiliates.
Thanks
@freddyym @iolite Proton has an affiliate program, almost every VPN (except mullvad) does. FastMail does, etc. it doesn’t mean you have to use them.
1password has strong encryption and is a paid service. It would be against their own interests to harvest data. They have a long history of privacy advocacy. Also they come recommended by Aral Balkan, a renowned privacy advocate.
@danarel @iolite I have nothing against affiliates, I have even used them myself. My point was that I didn't want thinkprivacy to become a shill site (this is obviously not the case).
I still don't truly trust 1password (though I don't really trust any company truly (except maybe tor)).
Anyway good luck in the future and hope the book goes well!
@freddyym @iolite They are a business like all others. But they do have a history of doing the right thing and offer one of the easiest to use products out there.
There is a reason that I do still recommended Bitwarden over them. Yet still, their reputation and trustworthyness in the general public is why I included them.
