I'm okay with paying for the Mac update. What I'm not okay with is them disabling Dropbox support in the old iOS program and then making the new version a $18 app. That means I'll need to spend $51.58 ($33.59 for Mac + Windows upgrade plus $17.99 for iOS app) to regain functionality the worked perfectly fine until they crippled the iOS app.

I'm doubting that I'll actually do this because I'm so steamed about the disabling of perfectly working features.

That may have resulted in them using a new keychain format—

Does anyone have suggestions for what I can use, as a linux desktop user? The best thing anyone has told me, so far, is Keepass, which has an interface I don't like very much.

Well, I use LastPass, which is a browser plugin that works well between browsers.

For a price you can use it on mobile, too.

It's kinda lame that website customers have to pay for the upgrade while appstore users get it for free.

Yes, I know appstore doesn't support paid upgrades, but at least they could have made it a little cheaper for us.

Isn't Apple about to release comparable native functionality into 10.9 in a few weeks?

Yes, but Apple's functionality only supports Safari on Apple devices. 1Password supports other browsers and Windows.

Yes, Apple's functionality seems best for casual users (ie, my parents) who generally only use safari on their ipads and mac.

iCloud Keychain is a better experience on iOS because only Apple can extend Safari - If you're using 1Password on iOS, you can't do the equivalent of "CMD+\" - you have to use the launch the 1P app - which breaks the workflow.

I don't see me moving away from 1Password anytime soon - though the ability to have multiple agile keychains in a single 1P session would have me pulling out my wallet - been waiting for that for awhile.

I've been using 1Password for a couple of years. I will probably switch soon given the current state of their Android app, but maybe this OSX update is a hint at a visual refresh for all of their products?

I hear that there will be more than a visual refresh of the Android app (it will fully participate in the 1Password ecosystem for update and read, less iCloud support)—but it will be released when it’s ready.

Can someone please list the advantages of using 1Password instead of Keychain Access? I can't find a simple difference list anywhere.

Here are just a few. (Disclaimer: I use and love LastPass, but am familiar with 1Password). Sync- it's possible with Keychain Access + Dropbox, but not seamless Easy password generation- no switching to Keychain Access, copying, etc. iOS access- up until iCloud sync, passwords were not easily transferred to devices Support for Windows browsers Form filling- Keychain will do addresses, but not credit cards

Everything except windows support is solved in mavericks.

Personally, I see no compelling reason to upgrade. V3 works fine for me, and 99% of the time I'm just using the browser plug-in anyways, not the main app.

It's also a bit disappointing that I had to buy direct to get cross-platform support, which is the reason I chose 1Password, but then that means I have to pay for this upgrade. If I had paid them half the price via the Mac App Store, minus Apple's 30% no less, I would get the upgrade for free. Not sure what they are trying to tell me there.

The website upgrade is free if you bought it this year, and it's only $24.99 if you bought it before 2013. Isn't that a little cheaper?
