And it is MacOS only… so. While yes this is very important - this is a very small target… Mac users who use 1Password
Doesn’t sound like it would be that small of a target?
I don’t know what the user distribution is like, but I imagine Mac users are a solid chunk of users for a “premium” password manager like this.
Perhaps, I am certain that it is a non zero number. But the majority of Apple users would use keychain (apples built in passwords management) first.
Shrug. Ymmv
It works on android too... And web browsers
Does nobody read the article? 1Password works on any platform but the attack is Mac only because it's actually getting passwords from a Mac's keychain through older versions of 1Password.
