I feel like I've spent an absolute fortune on 1password over the last decade. I'm pretty sure it was, what, $70 when I got it 6+ years ago? Now I'm paying monthly (2.99 or 4.99/mo x .. 3-5 years?) which is pretty ironic considering a lot of us initially left LastPass to go to 1pass because it was 100% offline (I'm aware you can do local vaults still). At least the QOL updates have been coming faster lately, especiall…

1Password always seems expensive until I remember how much one major password compromise is likely to cost me.

Bitwarden IMO beats LastPass and 1Password. Very polished, hassle free experience

the Mac client doesn’t support biometric login (TouchID), which we’ve only had on these computers for about four years...

Are you on an old version? I’ve been using TouchID with 1Password on Mac and FaceID on iPhone for as long as I can remember them being a thing

I think when they switched to subscription model they left people who didn’t switch on an old version

Bitwarden had a crappy (and slow) android app, a crappy (and slow, touch based interface, poor right click options, poor design, memory hungry, crippled) windows desktop app, and an OK (for a web app) desktop site. It only beats 1Password on price. If you don't want to pay for a fucking awesome app, good riddance to you.

Their Android app has never seemed slow or crappy to me.

Ugh. I have been a happy paying customer for many years now. I went all in on 1p specifically because they didn't do shit like this. When a CEO says things like "we need to grow aggressively" I hear "we need to find ways to foist new trash features no one asked for upon our users and then ignore them to get the big enterprise bucks". Time after time I see great products get ruined by that mindset. See Dropbox. See Evernote.

There are open source solutions that are nearly as good as 1p. I guess its time to start evaluating. Man I _just_ got my partner to starting using 1p too...

If you asked me about 1password a few years ago, I would agree with you. Ever since they went to the cloud, I stopped using and recommending them to friends and family. I now use Keypss, which is free and doesn't require the cloud. The only reason they went to the cloud is because most people were buying one copy and sharing it with multiple people. It's a way for them to make more money, which is fine, but I really…

and the reason I went to their cloud solution, is so that I can sync passwords between my iPhone, Mac, PC, and Linux machines. It's $35.88 for an entire year of something that I use constantly, every day, and it works perfectly.

Agreed. It's so nice updating/creating a password on desktop, and being able to use it immediately and seamlessly on my phone or other machines.

This seamlessness is also critical for my less-technical family members on my plan. They want the better security, and recognize that a password manager is necessary. But if it was a pain to use they wouldn't put up with it.

I've been a customer for 10 years (coincidentally, I checked email and I downloaded it from the iOS app store 10 years today) and very happy. The two things I'd love for them to fix are:

1/ Make the Windows version feel more like the macOS one. I switch between the two OS's all the time and it always feels jarring to open the Windows one after using the other.

2/ Add an option to cache everything locally. My phone has plenty of storage and there have been a few times where I have been with cell service or wifi and unable to pull down a document or credential I have stored there.

Mostly though I love it and can't imagine what life must have been like before password managers.
