Anyone have suggestions for a good alternative? I've been using 1Password (family version to share some subset within the family) for more than 10 years now, but I have to say the user experience has degraded quite a bit. Anyone have a better overall alternative? (Doesn't necessarily have to be cheaper.)

I'm working on an alternative that I hope would be better. https://github.com/lockstepvault-hq/lockstep (early alfa project)

Would you mind sharing what user experiences are not ideal with 1Password, I'd like to know I can address those those in Lockstep.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I stopped using 1Password for personal stuff and switched to just Apple Passwords about a year ago so I can add a little colour to what to expect. Firstly, the Apple Passwords app is slow as molasses, just really really bad. If you've got more than about 1000 items, it's almost unusable. That said, you very rarely have to use it, because password entry in Safari is perfect, and the menubar app for it doesn't have the…

Is it possible to set it to NOT require Touch ID for every single password every time?

I've no idea I'm afraid, I've never tried as it's so quick and seamless to use.

I've used 1PWD for at least as long as you, and when renewal comes around (EDIT: oops, guess I never "upgraded" to subscription plan) I'm going to cancel and just stick with Apple's Passwords app (née Keychain Access ). First "cloud!", subscriptions, now 33% price increases for the hell of it, I'm outta here, 1PWD. (Though in looking just now, we never upgraded to v8.0, so I guess I'm already outta here.) I only sugg…

Good to hear that is a viable option. I am mostly on Apple devices, but do need Linux and Windows support, so I don't think it will work for me.

I feel like I am really struggling to see the issue here with pricing, it is still a very cheap subscription and it does what we need it to do. And they were one of the ones that came out better in that recent security analysis of password managers. I see a lot of people upset here and I don’t get it. Did they need to increase the price? Honestly I don’t know, without seeing their financials it is hard to say. But I…

I'm quite content with Apple's Password app but I pay for 1Password only for the peace of mind of having a backup in case Apple ever locks my account. I will suck it up and pay the higher price.

I despise what 1Password has become. They've spent the past 10 years removing everything that made it great, and becoming increasingly user hostile. And now this. Well they can fuck off. This is great timing though as only the other day I was researching the alternatives - current front runners are Passbolt [0], Hypervault [1] and Heylogin [2]. If anyone has personal experience with any of these I'd love to hear your…

I'm also open to suggestions for other options. I'm more than happy to pay for a good product, which 1Password was when I first started paying them. Must be team focussed, work with any browser, and if it's not Electron I'll pay extra.

If everyone goes to their subscriptions and cancels today maybe they'll get the message. I've done it, and will spend the rest of the current renewal figuring out how well Apple Passwords works, I guess. I'd like to sync everything but realistically I just need to extract any 2FA I have left in 1p; everything else can be password reset when the time cometh.

I use it with Chrome and so far I had no issues.

Yeah, pretty disappointed by this as well. The app has been getting buggier overtime and I was already considering leaving, so this was the push I needed.

Seems like the most popular players in this space are Bitwarden and KeePass, does anybody have a positive or negative experience to share with either?

The email I got with individual plan went from $35.88 USD / year to $47.88 USD The new price then is $4/month. From $3/month. (So still 33% increase, similar to family plan in OP]. I found it very cheap before, which is part of what encouraged me to get it in the first place, vs trying to do something free. Would I have signed up for it originally at this price? I don't know. But it's not enough to make me switch to…
