I still can't tell if this is satire.

I made a game. It’s called 1Crossword. It generates crosswords using the passwords in your 1Password vault. The crosswords are fun, simple, and perfect for sharing on social media once you complete them.

It's perfect satire.

The hardest parts here are:

Users have to tell 1Password “yes, it’s ok to give this program my passwords”

You have to fetch passwords one at a time

I think I handle (1) fine - my code works on my macbook but I haven’t tested on all platforms.

(2) just means that my code is a little slow. I could have parallelized the fetching, but that’s annoying to do and since the password manager games space is weirdly uncompetitive I figured I’d just get this out the door instead.
