I said somewhere else that giving money to a distro won't even have an ROI, but I didn't know about this. If the distro is promoting their product that's a whole other thing.

That piece of information seems like key context. 1Password didn't just give money simply because they like the product. More or less, it's product placement in return for funding.

I'm on the fence if that's better or worse.

Ah didn't realize it came preinstalled lol.

Terrible security record?

Of the items listed in your link, only the second one seems problematic, in that I wish they had discovered the (non-password but still privacy related) issues first. Even that section acknowledges all of the issues are fixed. The only section that makes it sound like there is still a problem is the last one, which states that version X still contains the vulnerabilities, but in reality that's just how versions work. Patching a vulnerability creates a new version.

Is there ANY record of passwords being leaked from 1password because of their own lack of security??

lol what. 1Password literally has one of the best security records out there. They’re the ones actually inventing new more secure ways of doing things. The fact that those are all of the issues over the years and they’re one of the most popular pw managers on the planet is pretty indicative of how strong their security actually is. And they’ve never had a password breach, unlike lastpass.
