The move has sparked internal backlash at 1Password, with leaked Slack messages showing cofounder Roustem Karimov downplaying employee criticism and CEO David Faugno distancing the company from DHH's political views while noting Omarchy is the second most-used Linux distro among 1Password users. Users on Reddit and Hacker News are calling the decision tone-deaf, with some switching to alternatives like Bitwarden, Vaultwarden, or KeePass, a sentiment compounded by 1Password's recent subscription price hikes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
