If everyone goes to their subscriptions and cancels today maybe they'll get the message.

I've done it, and will spend the rest of the current renewal figuring out how well Apple Passwords works, I guess.

I'd like to sync everything but realistically I just need to extract any 2FA I have left in 1p; everything else can be password reset when the time cometh.

The 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…

> After you set up iCloud for Windows, you can use iCloud Passwords to access your passwords in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox using a browser extension. You can also manage your passwords in the iCloud Passwords app.

Could be worth a try.

There is no reason for this increase except the fact that they know people are too lazy to migrate away. Most of the listed features don't make any sense as core value propositions (wtf is AI-powered item naming)

They're not wrong. I'm a geeky guy with a tech resume as long as your arm, and I'd really rather do something else beside research how to export 1PWD data to something else, then import to $TOOL_OF_CHOICE. I'm sure it's not all that hard, and maybe that's part of the problem: it's monkey work, not an interesting technical challenge, right up there with "clean the gutters".

yeah, honestly i'm baffled... don't they have a whole team for marketing and communications? it's a slap in a customer's face... i've been on this subscription for 9 years, and now with enshittification, scott galloway, rutger bregman and cory doctorow all shouting off the roofs to cancel US-based subscriptions it's like no one on their public comms team is reading the room; like at all. and on top of that they added…

They're Canadian:

Though I don't know if they host all their servers in Canada or not.

Most will just absorb the price.

Fee will move to something like Bitwarden and keepass

I feel like I am really struggling to see the issue here with pricing, it is still a very cheap subscription and it does what we need it to do. And they were one of the ones that came out better in that recent security analysis of password managers. I see a lot of people upset here and I don’t get it. Did they need to increase the price? Honestly I don’t know, without seeing their financials it is hard to say. But I…

I've been a mostly happy 1Password customer with a Family plan for quite some time. This may cause me to jump ship.

My biggest issue with 1Password has been 1) how intrusive it can be in the browser, especially on mobile when it's too proactive to show its dropdown and just gets in the way of my experience. I know this is challenging because a mobile device is a small screen, but it is incredibly frustrating. 2) how bad the Safari extension. It regularly fails to load at all.

Aside from that, while you're absolutely correct - 1Password is still relatively inexpensive, let's look at the improvements thet mention:

1. Automatic saving of logins and payment details

Isn't this what 1Password has always done or am I misunderstanding?

2. Enhanced Watchtower alerts

I haven't seen any of these alerts ever help me.

3. Faster, more secure device setup

This I have noticed. It is very convenient

4. AI-powered item naming

This is weak sauce. I don't care for "AI" to help me name my logins/accounts/etc.

5. Expanded recovery options

I'm not sure what this is and how it's different than what they've always offered on a Family plan.

6. Proactive phishing prevention

Fine, I guess.

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.
