Wasn’t software cost going to 0 thanks to AI? How they justify 33% increase?
Even if the cost of software is truly going down (which is debatable), what makes you think the savings will be passed down to you?

#32Lately their Windows client has been consistently crashing for me when it tries to auto-run on a fresh boot. It always works the second time, but still, how about getting your shit together before dropping a 30% price increase.

#33It's a shame that the free/cheap password managers that regular people would use (like those by Apple, Google) seem unwilling to loosen their platform lock-in, and others like 1Password mainly target business use and are too expensive for the average joe to bother. So decades and dozens of new auth standards later we are still in a place where people use the same password on all accounts and write it down on post-its.
The industry has collectively spent untold billions/trillions on cybersecurity over the years, while the best way to actually secure access would be to have a free, preinstalled, interoperable password manager that "just works".

I’ve always had fine experiences with 1Password both on iPhone and my Mac. With how bad Windows 11 is and continues to be, I wonder if your ire is misdirected.
On my work computer (Windows) I’ve had a plethora of stability issues across a variety of programs/applications including ones developed by Microsoft.

#35This is useful enough for a family of 4 with teenagers who have a lot of logins that I don't mind the price. I'm not going to deal with self-hosting to save $1/month. My time is worth more than that.

#36The 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…
Bitwarden, keepass

#37This is in preparation for their IPO when the market is attractive.

#38Anyone 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'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 suggest Passwords because if you've used 1PWD for that long, odds are good you're on Apple HW/OS. It does everything we need in our household, including shared creds. One of these days I'll get off me arse and export the 1PWD stuff (IIRC, 1PWD->Apple PWDs is doable). Right now we use 1PWD as R/O, and all new stuff goes in Passwords.

#39Too bad they took VC funding and have to be a "global leader in identity security" instead of just making a damn good password manager.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
yep, i also had the auto-cancellation included. located in germany. good job, EU! :)
Same here in Switzerland. The instructions in the email say to confirm the price change under my.1password.com/billing but I don't see any confirmation options on that page. So i'm assuming my account will just be canceled ^^
Odd, I also live in Switzerland but have no such instructions in the message I got.
