Meanwhile, the Android and Windows developers did the same, but in a manner that was very siloed from the other platform developers.Īs time went on and those teams grew, that separation and mode of working remained largely the same. They added features, shipped updates, and continued on the path of making great software for Apple’s platforms. While that was happening, the original team went back to working on the Mac and iPhone apps. They were given the file format specification, shown the Mac and iPhone apps, and given free-rein to create a 1Password app for their platforms. Not long after, we expanded to include Windows and Android, hiring a developer for each of those platforms.
At that time syncing your data across devices was largely relegated to using Dropbox to host an encrypted 1Password file that could be read and updated by any of your 1Password apps connected to your Dropbox account. When Apple announced the iPhone SDK that same team moved on to that platform and created the first version of 1Password for iPhone. The first version of 1Password was a Mac app with a small team of four dedicated to it. This weekend project quickly took over their day job and spawned a whole company and industry. They got tired of manually filling in usernames, passwords, and contact information to test the sites they were building and figured they could build a tool to automate that. The very first version of 1Password was built by Dave and Roustem as a weekend project to help them with their day jobs of building websites.
With a fifteen year history, 1Password has seen a lot of changes across all our supported platforms, but the way we’ve built our apps has largely been the same over those years.
