Damn. This is a huge mistake. I've used 1password for over a decade. I will happily buy an upgrade license. I just don't want another subscription to my credit card. This is rent seeking!
Maybe I'll try bitwarden.
1Password 8 will be subscription only and won’t support local vaults

#62I know what 1Password is but haven't used it. Are there advantages of using it over Apple's built in keychain? Would appreciate if someone who has used/uses 1Password could comment on this.
-Multiplaform support
-Password sharing
There’s some nice “sanity checks” on all passwords, manual or generated, like reused password warnings and by default it checks your logins at haveibeenpwned, which is a nice to have.

#63Well darn, I guess I have to find a new password manager. 1Pass + Dropbox sync was so good.
Same situation here. I guess my setup will break once they remove dropbox sync from the android app.

I've been using KeePass with Syncthing for some time. No problem if you only need to update the database from a single location and access as read-only from the rest, but there are also solutions for shared updating.

#66I use 1Password, and migrated over to their subscription service some time ago. A password manager seems like the best overall option at this time.
However, given they have all the password for many people, how are they not one of the biggest targets in the world? In their old Dropbox model, I understood the security model. In the service model it's moved to "Just Trust Us".
Is there anyone who can help me understand how this model is secure?

#67Anyone have good/bad experience moving from 1Password to Apple' iCloud Keychain? I've recently been using keychain for new accounts, but not sure I wanna bite the bullet and go all in - just need a nudge.
The most valuable parts of 1Password for me are storing non-password stuff like license keys, secure notes, random security question answers, and the like.

#681Password used to be native on the Mac, and now it's an Electron app. I'm not going to be using 1Password for this reason, and I encourage you to do the same. Subscription business models and non-native apps are hallmarks of rot by VCs. Dump them!
This is ridiculous. Electron works great, and if this leads to more frequent updates and a more consistent experience across platforms, that's a win for users. 1Password's Windows client, for example, has always felt behind the Mac edition, and if this brings parity and a higher feature and update velocity, that's a win. I have at least three Electron apps open right now and they are all great experiences that the vast majority of users of those products love.
This has nothing to do with VC and everything with trying to build a better product for users that is easier to work on for developers.

#69I actually don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with press releases that are sprayed with emojis. It's incredibly unprofessional and gives a real amateur flavor to the whole thing, which for security software is really offputting.
I love normalizing emoji use. Its actually harmonizing the depictions because they can be wildly different across platforms, and until that occurs its part of an ongoing gag where its funny to imagine how messed up they render on someone's phone.
Like, imagine its only Gen X that complains about this, and they are the equally out of touch blackberry user whose device renders all the emojis in some messed up but hilarious way, then its a great way to make fun of them without saying anything and just keep bombarding them with an incommunicable internet, while the rest of us dont mind and some of us are also in on the joke.

I don't recommend Apple's keychain. It's smart enough to track usernames and passwords and feels very satisfying to use on an iPhone, but doesn't capture some other parts of authentication. This includes security questions, OTP, capturing notes around how sign-ins can be weird (HSAs and other portals rife with redirects), and non-iOS devices (as well as non-safari browsers).
Bitwarden is fantastic. I pay for the OTP features, though I feel keeping the codes alongside my passwords weakens my security posture. That's my choice, though.
