1password is by far my most recommended subscription to friends and family. In a world where almost every single app or service I use has thrown me into a rage from enshittification or show-stopping bugs or both, where I can hardly even type this message because even iOS keyboards have regressed… 1password is actually a great service that makes my life objectively better. I put them in an exclusive S-Tier with, surpr…

> Chase Mobile

Really? To me that app is like the WeChat of banking. It just does so many things. Do not even get my started on the non-standard long totp that they force you to enter when trying to navigate certain parts of the app (you're already authed, why reauth?!).

I think the Schwab app-for doing as many things as the Chase app, is a much smoother experience.

They’ve added a lot of ‘functionality’ but I use none of it. In December I migrated everything out and into Apple’s native Password manager, and cancelled my subscription to 1Password. Just in time, apparently. Subscription models need to die.

Subscriptions are fine, companies are greedy

If they write a native (non Electron) app, fine.

You left out the most bizarre part of the email: > Action needed: Please go to my.1password.com/billing to register your approval. If you do not provide consent by your next renewal date on or after March 27, 2026, your subscription will automatically be cancelled at time of your next renewal Apparently you get auto-cancelled if you don't manually accept the price increase?

yep, i also had the auto-cancellation included. located in germany. good job, EU! :)

Doesn't seem to be EU related. I'm in The Netherlands, using the .eu servers from 1Password and the email I got just says:

> The new price will take effect at your next renewal, provided it’s on or after . Those occurring prior to , will continue at the current pricing until your next renewal.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

On phone it's no issue to use FaceID, but my laptop and desk setup is such that I have to reach my arm over to use it.

Oh, the humanity!

Completely worth it to me. It would be an incredible value at twice the price and part of my daily workflow on all machines.

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…

Hey, CEO and Co-Founder of heylogin here. Feel free to try out heylogin and let me what you think of it. I know we don't have feature parity with 1pw, but we try to innovate on the core user experience of logging into websites first. Our typical users are non-IT people, but more and more features are now implemented to also cater IT pros.

Thanks for popping by! Feature parity with 1Password would actually count against you, it's so bloated with stuff only huge enterprises need now, and all its best features have been removed over the last few years. I checked our 1Password billing and it seems we're paid up until Dec 2027, so if you've got good passkey support by then you may well have a new customer.

Same, just excellent software that I use 100+ times per day.

Quality matters in what you use constantly.

Just cancelled my subscription, which was due for renewal a few days after the change takes effect. I can live with vaults being read-only while I find a (self-hosted) alternative.

KeePass. Free. Portable.

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.

KeePass. Free. Portable. I'm a longtime user and carry my database around on an USB stick.
