1Password for Windows RT

Maxime Labelle

Do you guys plan to support 1Password as a Windows 8 Store Application ? I'm thinking, in particular, 1Password running in the new ModernUI interface, so that it can run on ARM-powered Windows RT tablets. That would be awesome !

Welcome to the forums, Maxime! I can't say any more than what we've already posted on our blog or they'll probably demote me from Social Choreographer to Social Pariah. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

I will certainly pass your vote along to the developers! Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Seriously? Why not come out and TELL us if you're going to support Windows RT or not?

We don't normally promise future products or features since too many factors can affect ship dates and even coming to market. If we said today that we were going to support Windows RT, but then Microsoft introduced some draconian restrictions to Windows RT apps that prevented us from creating 1Password for Windows RT on either a technical or philosophical level, we would be letting down all of the folks who were counting on it. With great ambiguity comes great agility.



We prefer to let shipping products speak for themselves when they ship rather than trying to lure people in with a bunch of as-of-right-now-empty promises. We don't think empty promises is a good way to do business.



I'll definitely pass your vote along to the developers, though.

+1 for a 1Password WinRT app. I tweeted this ([url="https://twitter.com/atxryan/status/263435949659275264"]https://twitter.com/atxryan/status/263435949659275264[/url]), but truly feel that 1Password on WinRT could be your best mobile app. Simply put, 1Password on phones and iPad is frustrating because it doesn't integrate directly into the browser experience. This is understandable because there are no plugins, but it's a frustrating experience. On WinRT there are also no browser plugins, BUT I could leverage the "snap" view to have 1password open at the same time, right next to my browser. Or my app. Or whatever. I could copy passwords and wallet items side by side to the fields I need to paste them in.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with in the meantime.

Totally agree. You should have a version for Windows RT. I'm volunteer to be a beta tester...

Welcome to the forums, jsshaker! Thanks for your offer. I would expect that any beta opportunities will be announced here.
