1Password's Omarchy pledge sparks internal discord and donor-backlash

1Password pledged $300,000 to DHH’s Omarchy ($100,000 annually for three years), a move that triggered internal disagreement, with cofounder Roustem Karimov downplaying criticism and CEO David Faugno saying the company doesn’t endorse DHH’s views and noting Omarchy’s popularity among their users. The backlash cites tone-deaf optics and the potential impact on open-source funding, compounded by recent price hikes for individual and family plans and ongoing chatter about users switching to alternatives like Bitwarden or KeePass.
