Does 1Password run on Linux?

Verdict: Yes

Yes. 1Password makes a proper Linux app itself, and signing in brings every vault, login and card across. Your existing subscription covers it.

1Password by AgileBits · Security & passwords · Has a Linux version

This is one of the easiest moves on the list. 1Password for Linux is built and supported by 1Password rather than being a community rebuild, and it gets the same features as the Windows version. Sign in with your account and everything is there, with nothing to export or import.

Browser filling works the same way, through the 1Password extension in Firefox, Chrome or Edge. Watchtower still warns you about reused passwords and breached sites, and Quick Access still sits in the system tray for pasting a password into a program that is not a browser.

Install the Debian or Red Hat package from the 1Password site rather than the Snap or Flatpak version. The sandboxed builds cannot talk to the rest of the system, which means no unlocking with a fingerprint reader, and 1Password does not publish the Flathub listing itself.

Nothing about your subscription changes. This machine counts as another device on the plan you already pay for, and your data stays exactly where it was.
