TotalTerminal vs 1Password

TotalTerminal is a plugin for Terminal.app. It provides persistent Visor Window which slides down when you press a hot-key.

You maybe know or don't know Quake from Id Software. But this game had the best idea to hide/show a terminal window. Simply using full width but 26 rows. On show the widow slid down from top of screen. On hide it mode up to top edge of the screen until it disappeared. 2nd next best was the semi translucent background. You could still see through the terminal window while it was shown.

The same style is now available in TotalTerminal and iTerm2 (OSX Terminal replacement - no Terminal plugin).

An iteration on the UI brings a polished look that was already good-looking to begin with. It even tries pulling in relevant app and web icons, adds credit cards logos and has little animation to make the experience more pleasant.

Versatility and synchronicity for the majority of the devices and platforms you use. Plus, all software is free with a paid subscription.

Easily fill in passwords with a single keystroke combination.
Quickly add new and update existing passwords right from the browser when the login is detected by the free browser extension.

All TouchID capable devices are supported.

1Password offers syncing through cloud storage services such as Dropbox and iCloud and a possibility to sync locally over Wi-Fi if you opt not to use cloud storage.

This app is endorsed by many high credibility security experts (for example, Troy Hunt ).

1Password can store secure notes which don't file cleanly into other areas like passwords or bank details. Secure notes can be used to record anything you want.

One could manage a vault for work, a vault that's personal and a shared family vault while keeping the details of each segmented from each other and only sync'ed where/if desired.

There is an immense sense of community and openness with 1Password.

Unlike many other password management tools, by default the 1Password encrypted database is not stored in the cloud, but strictly locally, for added security.
