Parallels Desktop vs 1Password

Compared to other VMs, Parallels has the best gaming performance. Still, a good framerate can only be achieved with games that have very low resource requirements. A much better option for resource intensive games is dual booting Windows (via Boot Camp).

Parallels has an easy to learn and use UI. All important features are wizard based. It requires only a few clicks for the wizard to download and set up the latest Chrome OS, Windows or Linux build.

Parallels has a "Coherence View" mode that allows running Windows applications as if they were native OS X apps. In this mode Windows is virtualized in background and Windows features like Jump Lists, Taskbar, Start Menu, etc can be embedded directly within OS X.

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.

1Password can checks for weak, duplicate and old passwords you have stored.

Automatically logs into websites, enters credit card information, fills registration forms, and easily generates strong passwords. Password generator can be adjust to use or exclude certain characters and patterns.

A feature called Watchtower cross-references known website vulnerabilities with stored login information using a database that is updated daily.

1Password offers an option to create a shared vault for sharing passwords among friends, family and co-workers.

For more information see here.

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.
