This just reminds me how excited I am for passwords to be replaced. We shouldn't need a third party application as an authentication shim for every service that we use. The high lock-in on password managers is also unnerving.

#92I lost faith in 1Password when they forced me into the subscription model despite paying full price for the product years ago
I don’t really get this perspective. You can continue using the version of 1Password that you bought without issue. The expectation that your purchase years ago should entitle you to updates forever is pretty ridiculous.

#93Stupid question: what does this do that iCloud Keychain doesn’t do?
Among other things: TOTP.
Re: Getting 1Password 7 ready for the Mac App Store
#94I really like 1Password, it has been my daily driver for years. The creators gifted me versions for macOS and iOS years ago, so I never had to pay for it - which I would have done happily and, in fact, just recently did. But the push to the cloud versions gives me headache. I don’t want to sync using their cloud - I actually sync using a WiFi server. While it’s (still) possible to obtain the standalone versions, it’s…

They mentioned somewhere on their site (I don't remember exactly where...it might have been in an answer to a question on the forums) that one of the points of 1Password 7 is to bring the standalone versions up to parity with the subscription version.
Right now, standalone and subscription are essentially different products, with all new feature work going into the subscription product. With 1Password 7, they become essentially one product with different licensing options.
It sure didn't sound like they plan to get rid of standalone.

#95I've been using KeepassXC (KeePass w/ macOS GUI elements) and enjoying it. It's a little simple (you just copy and paste the PW). It doesn't do fancy autofill but there's support for pretty much every OS. (I use Spideroak to sync the DB across devices)
Guys, why not Keychain, the default password manager of macOS?
Because it's crossplatform. I can open the kdbx file on ios, mac, win and linux. Probably elsewhere too, but these are the ones I use.
Re: Getting 1Password 7 ready for the Mac App Store
#96While I could understand people being upset about this, I pay for a 1password family subscription. It really is a terrific investment. As far as subscription services go it's about the best bang for my buck that I get. A sustainable service model is important for something I rely on so much - especially something that needs to keep on security lockdown. Also makes it easy for the family to share hulu, netflix, whatno…
What value does it provide beyond the old family license pack + syncing of shared vaults via free Dropbox tier?

It's worth noting (and not super obvious because of their marketing) that "getting a subscription" and "using their cloud sync" are not a mutual requirement. You can pay via subscription and continue using local/Dropbox/etc vaults. This part was super confusing to me until I dug deeper when a friend upgraded. So the primary impact of switching from standalone license to subscription, if you're planning on using 1Pass…
I've used 1Pw local sync for years, and it's very finicky. When I've contacted support, they only offered suggestions like "restart the app", or "upgrade to the latest version" (even though there's nothing in the changelog which seems possibly relevant). Some days I'll add two new passwords, sync to my other Mac (multiple times, even), and only one of them is transferred.
The move to their own "cloud" as the primary sync system pretty much ensures other sync methods will never get properly fixed. I wouldn't have recommended 1Pw to people looking for non-cloud sync in the past, and now I definitely wouldn't.

Probably nothing other than ease of use, but the old model isn't part of the equation for me. 5 bucks a month for my whole family to have good password security practices, and for 1password to sustain continuous updates, is a great deal.
Re: Getting 1Password 7 ready for the Mac App Store
#99Although it's been said that they will continue supporting licenses through their website, they have made this feature _extremely_ difficult to find ever since introducing subscriptions. I've been a loyal user of 1Password for a long time, and I think it's great software. I use it on both my Macs, as well as on my iOS devices. However, hiding the non-subscription feature is silly. I do not wish to add yet another sub…
I agree they are burying the hell out of it, but as it stands licenses for 1Password 7 (which is still in beta on Mac & Windows) can only be purchased from within the client, as they want to test the order flow which was rebuilt in this version.
The Windows version of 1Password 7 still can’t be licensed, they haven’t built that part yet. The Mac version however can be purchased, and if you plan on sticking with it I would do so now, as the price will be much higher in the near future. Right now it’s being offered at 50% off.

#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not any more. I can access keychain passwords in Chrome on iOS.
It's Safari-only on macOS, as far as I know. It does work with iOS apps and it doesn't work on Windows. It can't replace a password manager unless you use Safari on macOS as your primary browser.
Ah, I see why it’s useful for me: I use Chrome and Chrome stores passwords per profile. And I have several profiles that must not be shared (private, work-dev, work-sysadmin...), and an OS-wide password manager would be super-prone to mistakes. I also use Firefox for non-Google-approved work (ex: MRA and James Damore), and, same, profiles work super-well.
