Popular Enterprise Grade Password Identity Manager Powers 70,000+ Businesses And Is Built In Delphi
1Password is a premier password and identity manager that runs in millions of desktops and mobile devices worldwide and it is built in Delphi. According to their site in addition to personal and family options it also powers the enterprise with more than 70,000 businesses trusting 1Password to secure their business and protect their data. Stefan van As and Mark Eaton from AgileBits provided some information on the third party components that they make use of in the 1Password for Windows version. It really is amazing all of the different components that they make use of from the massive third party component ecosystem available to all Delphi developers. The Delphi developer ecosystem is one of the key things that makes it such a powerful development tool.
Here is an overview of the 3rd party components used in 1Password: Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) — this is what powers 1Password inside Internet Explorer, Bonjour — this is what powers Wi-Fi Sync (here is an unrelated Delphi implementation), ChilkatCrypt — this is what powers some of our crypto, MS Crypto — this is the Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG), DISQLite — Some of 1Password’s features – such as Watchtower, for example – are utilizing SQLite. Because 1Password 4 is in Delphi 2007, we use DISQLite for that (today, it would be using FireDAC for that), dxgettext — this is used to localize 1Password. It works nicely with Crowdin, a localization project management platform, GraphicEx and Graphics32 — this gives (alpha channel) transparency, HyperString — super fast string handling routines. (no longer available), OpenSSL — this is what powers PBKDF2 (among other crypto routines), sgcWebSockets — The WebSockets are used with the Chrome and Firefox browser extensions, StreamSec — another crypto library, mostly for SSL/TLS, and zlib and LibTar — For OS X-compatible compression routines. Additionally they use EurekaLog — For diagnostics reporting, FinalBuilder — For build management, and Inno Setup — The installation wizard.
