I have a family subscription of 1PW. I can easily share some password with my wife and our daughter is getting used to using a password manager before she's 10. I totally empathize with those who refuse to use cloud/subscription services as, let's face it, there are a lot of bad actors doing crappy things with our data. But for me 1Password seems like a small, honest company providing great quality service and softwa…

Yes, I imagine because they have carefully crafted that image through blog posts and impression management. They have over 70 employees to write a password manager. 70!

I lost faith in 1Password when they forced me into the subscription model despite paying full price for the product years ago

Came here to say this. I lost a lot of customer loyalty for 1Password after they did this to me. Unless I missed it, no mention of the price of version 7 in the blog post.

They announced a price for the windows version. It will be $65, and you get a $25 discount if you've been using the beta version. I assume Mac licenses will cost the same.

Can I use this space to ask how people actually use password managers on mobile? I got LastPass recently and put on it a good secure "correct horse battery staple"-type password. So now when I use accounts on my phone I have to type that password instead of my short, randomly generated, reused-all-the-time password. This means I'm more secure (no password reuse) but typing 30ish characters without error into my phone…

If you're on Android 8 or above (yes, I know most people aren't) there's support for password managers filling passwords in almost any app. Some apps aren't well built and don't support it. As far as I can tell, it's not something the developer has to explicitly enable support for though. Anyways, I use the Bitwarden app on my S8 (and previously HTC 10) and it works great. I tap a password field, Android asks me if I…

Hey, thanks for telling. I've been using 1pass on android since a long time ago, and autofilling username and password is a real hassle. In the past the only way to do the autofill was to use the 1password keyboard, which is inconvenient for me to change keyboard every time filling a password. But I just try the new autofill feature on the Android 8, and it works like a charm. It supports autofill on native apps and webpage via Google Chrome as well.

So, I'll join the chorus here by saying that I've picked up the subscription fee. I've been using their software daily for over three years. During that time, they have consistently improved their product and have been open about issues (as far as I am concerned). I was a little irked when I saw the subscription model. I was like, "hey, I paid for this." So, I looked up how much I paid in licenses by looking them up.…

not just that there’s a cost to keeping this kind of software useful, for the subscription agilebits is actually adding value.

unlike say adobe.

A little of both. I did a check and I literally couldn't find it. If it's that well hidden (I have a few licenses from prior versions, so I'm not a stranger to the site) isn't that effectively not having the option?

My comment was a response to '1Password is making it so you can never buy a standalone version again'. This isn't true. It is true that they try to steer people into a subscription. But if they wanted to kill the standalone version, they would have. You can download the 1Password 7 beta right now and pay for it once.

There is no reason to believe that. I paid for 1Password as a standalone app THREE TIMES, only to discover later that my versions are all being orphaned, will not be updated, and will not receive key features.

I absolutely love Enpass. Cost me a fixed $10 for all my iOS devices. I host my database on my local WebDAV (but there are many other options).

I 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…

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…

The developer's comments on the article contradict what you're saying:

> 1Password 7 from the Mac App Store will only support our hosted service, as that’s what you’re purchasing with a 1Password membership. If you install from our website, you’ll have to option to use a standalone vault synced via iCloud if you purchase a standalone license, or use our hosted service if you purchase a 1Password membership.

> As it stands, though, how you purchase 1Password is intrinsically tied to where you store your vaults and how you sync them

How can this be an issue if their base software is open source? Just recompile it with the numbers upped, surely?

Your passwords are stored on their server. You'd have to compile and run your own server, which is more expensive than the $1/month they're asking for.

To be fair, it still does all that stuff. I get that these moves make people nervous, and rightfully so. But as it stands every version of 1Password in active development (not including maintenance mode): * Can be licensed standalone. * Supports local & Dropbox vaults. * Was released within the last year, actively supporting those features. The only feature they’ve actually killed off (by not baking into future clien…

Are you sure they’ve killed WLAN sync??

They don't seem to have. It's still shown in 1Password 7's betas, anyway.
