Hi Goronmon, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. While it is true that we think it is important for our potential customers to know that we may charge for a future version of 1Password, we have only done this once in the 9 years that 1Password has been available. And that was after a significant upgrade from 1Password 3 to 1Password 4 when we rewrote the entire app from scr…

I'm still on v3. I have the family licence. I'd like to move to v4+ but I don't see a cost effective upgrade route, for windows, ios and android in my case.

Hi junto,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

For Windows you are eligible for an existing customer discount. Just go to our store at http://agilebits.com/store and click on the Upgrade button under the license you are wanting to purchase. You will be prompted to enter your 1 Password 3 license code and then you will see the discounted prices you are eligible for.

We have also changed our sharing policies to match Apple's Family Sharing plan. Now a family living in a single household can have up to 6 users on a single 1Password for Mac or Windows license.

As far as Android goes, we have put the in-app purchase on sale for 40% off.

I actually did an evaluation of password storage services recently and chose LastPass over 1Password for a couple reasons: 1. 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is. You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac. 2. It has no enterprise level features (This is for my organization) such as user management, access logging and fine grained roles and sharing. 1Password might be good for…

"You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac." Aren't those exactly the kind of things I'd want to pay for-- rather than opting for a cheaper solution that doesn't have those features?

No, you want to pay for quality encryption and data safety.

This isn't quite a reason to jump ship for me yet, but I'll certainly be duplicating work to other services(which so far, I've found to be quite inferior). Did you try 1Password (which works with Dropbox, Wifi sync, etc.)? Not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.

Hi danieldk, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your love of 1Password with the other folks on this thread!

Hi Eva,

Do you have any plans to integrate with Google Drive or iCloud drive in the near future?

Any chance you guys are going to run a promotion?

Hi bognition, Just to be clear who I am, I am repeating that I am Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. And to answer your question, yes. We have put all of our apps (including our in-app purchases) on sale for 40% off.

Nice! you just scored yourself another customer!

I take it you don't use login manager on mobile devices. LastPass costs (or used to cost) $12/year while 1Password is $29, so if you intent to use a password manage for more than two years it's cheaper to buy 1Password than keep paying for LastPass. And just a side note, I bought my 1Password for Windows, currently I'm using it on Windows, Linux, Mac and iOS and they all work fine. My OS X says that it's trial has ex…

How are you using it on Linux?

This comment meets the standard. Negativity without any explanation was the issue. Thanks for clarifying.

The explanation was easily inferred. Not a huge fan of your interpretation.

What's your explanation then?

1Password is the only password manager that has been polished, feature complete, and low-impact enough to get me to actually use it. I gladly paid for it. If only all mobile browsers has easy ways for 1Password to integrate...

It's gotten a lot better, have you used the iOS9 app yet? Or I would imagine the Android app, their latest update on iOS is pretty good. While you are still using their app and spinning up a browser inside it, it doesn't feel that way anymore, and this is coming from someone suffering the pains of using this on an iPhone 4S.

The Android app is not particularly good, but it gets the job done. Much like the Windows client compared to Mac, it's clearly playing second fiddle.

They're doing a new "Windows Modern" (or whatever it's called) version, I need to give that a try sometime.

Any suggestions for alternatives? I need yubikey support, Chrome & Firefox plugins (Linux & OS X) and an Android app.

So you absolutely must use Yubikey for 2factor auth instead of one of the many alternatives?

Yes, unless you suggest another hardware token with NFC in the same price band (sub $100).

Well looks like I'm going to have to convince, my wife, family, extended family, and friends that they all have to switch password managers now. I'm blown away, I've been a fan since day one because of it's simplicity and availability. I am torn between waiting to see what happens and giving them the benefit of the doubt and just changing all my passwords before Logmein can f--- me.

Having not used anything by Logmein or heard much about them, what's the reasoning behind wanting to jump ship asap? Are they just bad at running a company or are you scared they will sell your data or similar?

LogMeIn is used by those phone scammers who ring up and say "We have detected a Windows Virus on your machine and are here to help". They then convince the mark to let them start a session, then surreptitiously download data from their machine using a back channel. (LogMeIn lets you share screens, but also access the filesystem in another panel and the other side can't see).

When you complain to LogMeIn and give them the details of the scammer, they couldn't give a rat's arse and just ignore you. Those kind of ethics do not belong with the owners of a password vault.
