I'm confused. First you say that they have to pay developers but then you say that they are a small company.
Maybe the problem is that their staff is too bloated? Maybe they did not take the time to figure out their business model properly? Why should I, as a Canadian pay for export fees to other countries? Shouldn't the price of the app differ per country?
I bought the desktop version and the iOS version but now they want me to pay again for another release? No.
I should have a right to complain about the price especially considering how much I paid previously.
There's no fee for exporting from Canada, the OP you're replying to is slightly misunderstanding I believe. No harm done.
If you have an issue with the upgrade (we haven't announced anything other than the users who are getting free upgrades) please contact our support after release. We'll be able to do more for you then.
Looking at these replies to my previous post about the license feature I guess I've really been missing something.
Does the feature saved scanned copies of the license? If it does that - then I could see it being useful. I've needed to scan in my license from time to time, but never just the #.
Yes. You can attach an image to items and view them on iOS devices.
Firstly let me bitch about the price.
Damnit! Bought their store version about 10 days before the free upgrades to V4 kicked in.
Now let me defend the price. The $80 I have invested or so in the program has been worth its weight in gold. Before I jumped on board with 1password my papal, steam and hotmail accounts were all hacked. The time, effort, and mental stress of having to jump through hoops to ensure I wound up not out of pocket was quite frankly intense. The $80 to ensure I never had to go through that is rather cheap in the grand scheme of things.
And yes I know there are alternatives, but lastpass's interface didn't really click with me. Plus I would had needed the premium version anyway which means that overtime it may very well have cost me more.
Contact us after it's released and we can discuss. Link in my signature.
1Password is truly life changing software if you run a business and are mobile. A single purchase from the App Store allows installation on up to five devices. I have 506 files in it, many with several windows of data each. Each day we, add more.
Before 1Password, trying to keep all that straight across devices and employees was pretty much impossible. Now, entering account data (e.g., passwords, account numbers, user names, etc.) is fast and easy. If some changes something, everyone else knows seconds later when the accounts sync.
It's a critical part of our daily operations and the succession plans for my companies.
Great to hear! If you ever think of features you'd like to see, please send us an email
We're always interested in how users would like to use our app. Feedback is always welcome!
Its overpriced bloatware (I am a v3 user).
The fact that it does not automatically fill in passwords is beyond hiliarious (oh sorry its a "feature")
The price is too high compared that you buy OSX for a third of that price. But, hey if people buy it, something must be right.
It doesn't "auto-fill" when you visit the page, no. This is something we've debated a lot but we have so far decided we would rather the choice be given to the user when to fill. I'll definitely bring this up to the developers though!
When 1password launched in Mac App Store, AgileBits said the new 1 password 4 would come only in Mac App Store.
So, I purchased MAS version even though I had some license through AgileBits store.
And now it's also available for free upgrade.
Okay, I wasted money for what I already had.
Depends, only purchases made in 2013 from our website will receive free upgrades. This is something many media sites seem to have neglected to include in their posts. So, unless you purchased the website version in 2013, it wasn't a waste of money
The No Such Agency taps YOUR ISP!
Doesn't matter with 1Password. The data is fully encrypted before leaving your computer and all traffic between your computer and Dropbox, for example, are encrypted yet again.

How is the desktop app for Windows? Is it like 1Password? I'm in the process of moving away from 1Password as I'm not pleased at all with the lack of an Android app and they constantly ask for more money with every new version. In the end I think it's cheaper LastPass. The only thing that's keeping me to make the switch is that I'm used to 1Password and LastPass does seem to be more a browser plugin than a true program (for Windows). So, how good is the desktop app?
You can try the Windows app:
http://www.agilebits.com/downloads there's a free 30 day trial.
I really want this, I hope they do an introductory price.
Sign up for our newsletter we'll likely announce any sales (if we have any) on there:

There is no "desktop app" per se. It's all in the secure browser called the LastPass Vault. Works just like 1Password. I like it because my $12 premium, allows me 1Password like experience on ALL my devices, in sync. 1Password wanted even more money for the Windows desktop version even though I paid for the Mac desktop version already.
Even Adobe and Blizzard allows their software to be installed on Windows and/or Mac with one purchase. I won't stand for overpriced products from greedy companies anymore. I find it funny that Agilebits is given 1Password 4 to Mac users for free, but charge us for each new iOS app.
I'm pretty sure they'll want another $20 if and when the Android app becomes available. No thanks.
Only purchases made in 2013 from our website and MAS purchases get free upgrades. We made the promise to MAS customers upon release there that they'd get a free upgrade to version 4. So, we're honoring that commitment.
If you have any concerns though, email us at our support email. It's in the link in my signature.
Payed for services have had security problems before. Being able to see the source code would have been more reasuring. Particularly with the random passwords, how random are they realy, where does the entropy come from?
We discuss the encryption here, fully documented:
http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/Security/keychain-design.html
While we don't have it open source, we do have it reviewed for security related issues. We also use standard encryption practices, as outlined in the link above. We're as open as we can be about it, in fact other tools have used that documentation to make read-only utilities that read the data. Confirming the fact it's all standard encryption and not a home made thing

I hope there is a way to merge two separate databases together.
I think we may have a better solution for you coming in the future. Stay tuned.
Dropbox is dropping the API that 1password uses for sync come Sept 1.
Only for 1Password 3 for iOS. Version 4 is using the latest Dropbox APIs and therefore is unaffected.
For many folks yes. iCloud will be all they feel they need especially for the extravagant price for 1password
You really think the NSA wouldn't go after 1password etc as well. Sure they would have to get a local agency in on the game but it is highly unlikely that the US is the only country playing these kinds of games with folks living there. If the NSA wanted the info they would find a way to go after it
None of your data is stored on our computers. It's stored on your computer and optionally synced to iCloud or Dropbox. We get a few law enforcement related emails that ask how to recover data from a device and we tell them they have to know the user's master password. Without it, there's no way to access the data. It's the same thing we tell users who have forgotten their master password.
All we'd have is minimal information regarding your purchase history with us (name and license info), which won't do anyone any good.
