# Software

Though I do prefer free (as in freedom) software, I do use proprietary software if its open-source alternative is not adequate.

## 1Password

<div class="grid cards" markdown>

- <figure markdown>
    <p align="center">
    ![1Password](https://assets.tylernguyen.wiki/logos/1Password-light.svg#only-light){ loading-lazy width=200 }
    ![1Password](https://assets.tylernguyen.wiki/logos/1Password-dark.svg#only-dark){ loading-lazy width=200 }
    </p>
    </figure>

</div>

/// info
1Password is a <span class="solarized-red">:material-lock: __proprietary__</span>, <span class="solarized-green">:material-sync: __subscription__</span>-ware password manager.
///

1Password is robust, cross-platform, and well integrated. Its ease of use and wide adoption also makes sharing passwords effortless.

1Password also offers various developer functions that I find cannot be matched by other offerings. These include:

- SSH Authentication
- Git Commit Signing
- Developer Tokens and Secrets Automation
- [twpayne/chezmoi](https://www.chezmoi.io/user-guide/password-managers/1password/) integration for managing dotfiles
- [Visual Studio Code](https://developer.1password.com/docs/vscode/) integration for editing secrets

/// success | Security
1Password is [audited](https://support.onepassword.com/security-assessments/) on a regular basis and also documents their security in the [security white paper](https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-paper.pdf).
