I use 1Password for Linux on all of my own personal devices. It's not any more or less secure than it is elsewhere. It's true that different operating systems will have different vulnerabilities and that your security hygiene may vary slightly from one to another. But 1Password itself has not been "dumbed down" on certain platforms as opposed to others. I'd encourage you to practice the same basics that you have with macOS. Keep your operating system and 1Password up to date, acquire your software from trusted sources, and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/1Password on Reddit: How secure is 1Password on Linux? How are the attack vectors differ from say, MacOS?
March 23, 2025 -

As the title asks — I’m looking into moving from my daily driver MacOS desktop to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I was wondering whether it would be less secure installing and using my 1Password account there since I’d be using a lot of free and open source software, god knows what vulnerability lays where and whether that can be taken advantage of to get my 1Password account..

I don’t feel your question is really about 1Password - it’s more of “can I trust this operating system that I’ve decided to switch to at my own free will”, and also you seem to be defaulting into that open source is inherently less secure. To answer your question though, I would not assume that 1Password would be the weak link. If something could exfiltrate data from 1Password, it could probably via other methods too.

IMO $36/yr US seems a lot for a password manager, but that is my opinion A .deb is available, and installation instructions on the cookie-happy website. https://support.1password.com/install-linux/ I use KeePassXC, I store/sync my password database to pCloud, and it works on all of my devices.

Behind the scenes of 1Password for Linux | by Dave Teare | Medium
May 18, 2021 - Rust had proven itself so it was time to see if we could create a full blown 1Password core for all our apps to use. By the end of the fall we had seen enough internal successes that we wanted to find a way to start sharing our progress with our users. Linux was the perfect playground so in late 2019 at a conference at my house we started creating a Linux app to focus our efforts.
