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…

https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud-windows/set-up-icloud... > 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.

Android? :)

I'm building an alternative called Lockstep: KeePass-like local-first password vault but with build sync https://github.com/lockstepvault-hq/lockstep

Sync requires a server, however server does not see any secret data, it is only used to relay encrypted hash-chained ops log between devices. It's intended to be self-hosting friendly - server is single binary backed by SQLite.

It's project is early-alfa, CLI app, Keepass import and sever/sync work for the most part, there is MacOS app in progress and plans for a iOS app and a browser extension.

Not ready for production and it's not audited.

I'm currently using KeepassXC/Keepasium with Syncting, but I want a better solution - something that supports trouble-free sync natively and allows me to own the system

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…

Story time on the mobile proactivity.

I was buying a train ticket on Eurostar for my mother. I filled her name as the passenger. Scrolled down and used the 1Password data I have to fill my address and billing information. I proceed and pay. Later, when checking the ticket, I see it's on my name. 1Password changed the passenger details, and since the screen is small, I did not notice.

No 100% refund from Eurostar, but lesson learned.

I'm not leaving 1Password though. It's too convenient for my family.

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.

I stopped using 1Password for personal stuff and switched to just Apple Passwords about a year ago so I can add a little colour to what to expect. Firstly, the Apple Passwords app is slow as molasses, just really really bad. If you've got more than about 1000 items, it's almost unusable. That said, you very rarely have to use it, because password entry in Safari is perfect, and the menubar app for it doesn't have the…

Is it possible to set it to NOT require Touch ID for every single password every time?

Very disappointed by this. I've been a customer for many, many years on a Family plan, but I do not understand this price raise. The only reason they raise price is definitely because of the need to answer to investors, and the necessary enshitification that follows. While I understand every business needs to generate revenues, they put on us, the customers, the burden of their rapid hiring spree and growing operating costs. It's just sad. There is just so much you can charge for managing passwords, and the family plan becomes way too expensive for the value it truly provides. We will need to switch to a less expensive competitor.

I'm a 15+ year user of 1password and have been telling myself to move off of it for like 5 years now. It ain't the price... $72 is really fine for good software that just works. But as mentioned throughout the thread it's really just too much. My goodness they really could have a nice, profitable, business with simple software. I'd happily pay $10/month for the version of 1password from 15 years ago! It's just all to…

The VC treadmill ruined what should be a simple, sustainable business. They’re not going to light the world on fire trying to pedal a password manager as the be all and end all IAM story for enterprises. It’s not the amount of the increase. It’s that they’re chasing enterprise for VC unicorn status and clearly intending to leave their original market behind. I don’t want my passwords in a product becoming more and more derelict since the org’s heart is in another place.

1password is by far my most recommended subscription to friends and family.

In a world where almost every single app or service I use has thrown me into a rage from enshittification or show-stopping bugs or both, where I can hardly even type this message because even iOS keyboards have regressed… 1password is actually a great service that makes my life objectively better.

I put them in an exclusive S-Tier with, surprisingly, Chase Mobile (in recent years), Signal, Google Sheets, and maybe an few others. They just work.

Since the rest of them ignore my 1 star App Store reviews and my desperate, detailed bug reports, the only power I have left is to support good software and recommend it to friends.
