At the rate that things in my life are moving to a subscription model, I am going to need a subscription manager more than a password manager.

#392So, I'll join the chorus here by saying that I've picked up the subscription fee. I've been using their software daily for over three years. During that time, they have consistently improved their product and have been open about issues (as far as I am concerned). I was a little irked when I saw the subscription model. I was like, "hey, I paid for this." So, I looked up how much I paid in licenses by looking them up.…
I am a long time 1Password user, purchased Mac licenses, IOS and Android over the years. I was annoyed when it changed to being subscription based, the price wasn't an issue I think for the value it gives the price is fair, 1Password is the only thing now keeping me on a Mac. The issue i had with it is you don't own the software and when my credit card expired and i forgot to update it losing access to passwords even…
there's not even a grace period to export your passwords? If not, wow that's a major downside!
Comment elsewhere in this thread points out they have a Linux CLI app now as well.

>1Password is the only thing now keeping me on a Mac
I was in the same position. Switched to Keepass and have had no issues using it on Linux and iOS (the latter as KyPass)

#394I bought their software. The software stopped working properly and nagged me to buy a subscription - despite having purchased the full product previously.
I lost my interest in being their customer. They did offer my a 1yr subscription for free, but by then I had wasted hours trying to get a new install to work and had lost my goodwill with the product.

#395Could someone chime in with a TL;DR on what this thing does?

> For customers there are 0 benefits to a subscription model. For companies of course there are many. OP described in detail the benefit for customers--constantly updated software. Critical for something as security conscience as a password manager.
To be honest, if a password manager needs to be regularly updated in order to remain safe, I'm not sure I trust it with my passwords.
Everything on your computer, including the OS itself needs to be regularly updated in order to remain safe...
It's not just security, it needs to be updated to continue to run on your devices. New versions of iOS, Android, Windows and Mac OS change things that need to be taken into account. The browser extensions must be kept up to date. There is a lot of work to do just to keep things running without adding any new features.
Re: Getting 1Password 7 ready for the Mac App Store
#397The reason I won’t go for a subscription is because I don’t want to find myself locked out of my password manager if I stop paying the subscription. With IntelliJ (JetBrains) I get perpetual fallback and that makes me super comfortable with a subscription model. Will AgileBits offer perpetual fallback? I doubt it. Their product works well but their marketing team are a let down.
You aren't locked out. It becomes read online and you can export it at that point.

#398An alternative which lets you host your data is Enpass. I've been using it but I'm not sure how secure it really is.
> I've been using it but I'm not sure how secure it really is.
Then why use it? That seems like an important detail for a password manager.

I've been happy with 1password as well, other than two times my vault would not unlock until I restarted my computer.
Making it seem like you lost access to all your passwords seems just below security issues as far as high priority bugs, in my opinion..

As time goes on, I've gotten less and less comfortable using proprietary software for critical tasks. If 1Password were open source, I'd actually be pretty happy to subscribe. But as it stands, I have no faith that the product won't change out from under me in the future, whether due to a pivot, an acquisition, or some other reason. The incentives align in favor of the business, not the customer. IMHO, subscriptions…
For me, something related: can I remove the data in a usable form? 1Password makes that easy, so like others here, I'm happy to pay them to perform the 'eternal vigilance' that secret-keeping entails.
We also allow export in something called 1PIF. It's a JSON format export of your data. It doesn't currently handle everything super smoothly, notably Documents which are new.
We'll have another solution in the not too distant future that should cover things and be a documented format that anyone with the know how could use.
Also important to note, that if your account ever lapses due to lack of payment. The account is still read-only. You can export your data if you wish even when the account is read-only. We do not lock you out of your data, we just prevent normal use of the application (browser extension, editing items, adding new items, etc). But the data you've already entered is entirely accessible if you want to copy/paste or export.
