Earlier quoted context omitted.

User has already paid. The feature they had been using was removed.

It was implied by the response that he was using a free option. I'm sorry for the trouble. 1Password no longer offers a free-to-use option on iOS. It can either be used with a 1Password membership account or it can be synced to a standalone vault created by 1Password for Mac or 1Password for Windows. It wouldn't be possible to create a new standalone vault from 1Password for iOS. Standalone vaults still work, but mus…

Actually no. It’s the same for paid users on ios. If it’s a the one-off payment IAP user, then there is no way to create new vault anymore. If it’s subscription user, the user has to sign in to the 1P account to create a local vault, which the OP might have good reason not to sign in on some sensitive devices.

I use Keepass[1] with the Kee[2] extension on Firefox and on Android I use Keepass2Android[3]. All 3 are free and opensource. For synchronizing the kdbx file I use Dropbox.

For iOS MiniKeePass works well. Simple, no nonsense and registers itself as an application that can handle kdbx files.
