1Password expands protection to Linux devices
The business password management company 1Password has released a full-featured desktop app for Linux that allows users to secure their credentials across devices.
The new app for Linux also allows for seamless management of infrastructure secrets as it supports the company's recently released Secrets Automation product. By using the service, secrets such as corporate credentials, API tokens, keys and certificates can all be stored using the same security found in 1Password's password manager.
The company has a long history of engaging with the open source community and providing more than 250 open source projects with free accounts for their teams. 1Password developed its new Linux desktop app with this community in mind and co-founder Dave Teare, who initiated the project, provided further insight on its development in a press release, saying:
"This is an important milestone for Linux users and underscores that community's desire for 1Password to be their password manager of choice. In a time where other companies are moving away from dedicated apps for desktop, we are leaning into it - creating a leading password manager that works wherever you are - desktop, mobile, server or command-line. This dedication to building world-class apps, using the latest and greatest technologies is something we passionately believe in."
