1Password Unveils Application to Protect Linux Users and DevelopersTORONTO, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 1Password, the leader in enterprise password management, today announced it has launched a full-featured desktop app for Linux, providing users with the ability to secure credentials across devices from the same 1Password app. Linux joins a roster of operating systems that are integrated with 1Password, and also allows seamless management of infrastructure secrets through the recently released Secrets Automation product - a new way to easily secure, manage and orchestrate the rapidly expanding infrastructure secrets required in a modern enterprise. According to research, the global Linux operating system market size is expected to increase from $3.89 billion in 2019 to $15.6 billion in 2027 - many of those users are in IT or DevOps roles managing secrets and passwords. At the same time, Linux administrators and DevOps teams are also trying to keep pace with organizational demands to rapidly develop, install and configure applications. 1Password for Linux alleviates this challenge by delivering the same ease-of-use and high levels of security that 1Password users have become accustomed to. "1Password for Linux is the latest step in our commitment to enterprise. While 1Password can be utilized by anyone, business or individual, we have seen a real need for robust Linux support - outside of just the browser - in DevOps and IT teams in larger organizations. 1Password for Linux means that the entire organization can be protected irrespective of their device choice," said Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password. Giving back to the open source community "This is an important milestone for Linux users and underscores that community's desire for 1Password to be their password manager of choice," said Dave Teare, co-founder of 1Password, who initiated the project and has worked closely with the open source community. "In a time where other companies are moving away from dedicated apps for desktop, we are leaning into it - creating a leading password manager that works wherever you are - desktop, mobile, server or command-line. This dedication to building world-class apps, using the latest and greatest technologies is something we passionately believe in." Open source teams can get a free 1Password account simply by opening a pull request against the company's Open Source Projects repo. That free account now includes unlimited use of Secrets Automation. Under the Hood 1Password for Linux takes advantage of the most recent advances in the Linux community to create the seamless, integrated experience customers have come to expect from 1Password:
