They didn’t have 1 time pricing. They had paid upgrades staggered out for different versions. You didn’t pay once forever.
I recognize they development for them is likely substantially more expensive, more employees, more salary, more benefits, higher cost to operate.
But the value to *me* for what it cost when they went subscription didn’t justify not considering the native iOS option, which has also continued to get better.
If someone likes 1P that’s cool. It still looks like a solid product. I’m not trying to talk you out of liking it.

What they definitely don't cost, is the 36$ a year that they expect you to pay. Therefore I said "not worth that much".
It performs very well, arguably better than the previous version, I have been using the betas on iOS and Mac for some time now. Glitches, memory leaks, interface issues have all been fixed over time just as in any new piece of software.
Their last funding round was $620 million valuing the company at $6.8 billion. I wish I could destroy myself that hard.
I'm a long-time customer, but am going to drop my subscription. They've abandoned basic features that used to be part of their app, and have neglected to address them despite the issue being raised by multiple customers.

I do like the family-sharing of passwords, but I can't rely on their solution anymore.

I really wish they had taken the time to work the kinks out of the Mac version of 1P8 before releasing it on iOS. The Mac version removed a lot of basic functionality without warning and was a huge step backwards.
Been slowly migrating my family members back to keychain syncing — now that password generation, 2fa, and syncing are (finally?) well supported I don’t see the benefit in paying for yet another never ending subscription.

I switched to BitWarden a few years ago, and have enjoyed using it on my Mac/ipad/Windows PC/iPhone.
Works just as well.
kinda what I was thinking. It's worked out fine with going Evernote to Notes. I was loyal to 1P until these last iterations. 1P really starting to feel like a lot of bloat and Apple is making progress - although it did recently fail to save a suggested password in the keychain. That still happens time-to-time.
Me too. Been using it since 4.x. The one thing they've built with me over the years is trust. They did a good job of explaining how/why their application was so secure. I dont have the same trust for the many alternates popping up. Probably just need to read up on them more.
bingo

I switched to Minimalist almost a year ago and love it. Only issue is some of the fields in Ventura beta, but that's beta so I expect something eventually. I didn't even think about using backups with my wife, that's a great idea! I've had backups set up for a while, but shared vaults is my top request. Their team is very responsive, I've sent them multiple messages.
It's kind of aggravating how many password managers there are and valuation of 1P when you compare to Bitwarden. Native keychain has become much better, but it's still buried in Safari prefs on Mac, in settings on iOS. I think if Apple had made a keychain app on iOS a while ago it would've been great, a proper editing view, family sharing support, etc. I think if they tried now they'd get slapped with anticompete... And with passkeys rolling out I doubt they're interested anyway.
The IOS password manager works better all the time and with Passkeys coming round the corner who wants to pay $$ can forward it monthly to my email lol.
I am seeing the same thing with 1Password 8 on my MacBook. I’m pleasantly surprised how good it is.
To the people who complain on every 1Password post about the subscription… we get it. You all beaten this dead horse enough. If you moved to a new password manager, good for you.
I still have 1Password 6 on my Macs, and it works fine. But I know it's only a matter of time before it stops working for good, so last year, I shifted to using Enpass. Enpass is currently the closest thing to 1Password, and it works pretty much the same way as 1Password. Moving all of the password data over was a super simple process so I could not be happier to have abandoned 1Password.
I paid a little less than £50 for a lifetime Enpass license, so no need to get stuck on paying monthly fees. And the best thing is that Enpass offers offer local vaults so you can store your data on iCould. I truly despise 1Password for forcing everyone to use their own servers to store all of your password data. So if you go with them, they basically own and keep your passwords a hostage unless you continue to pay them every month... And that just doesn't sit well with me.

Goodness. The hate on 1Password. A consistently updated, cross platform, feature rich, customizable, multi-user, modern solution all for $35/yr. THE HORROR!
So the version 7 is the last version w/ local vaults and optional subscription?
Weird, I still see 7.9 as the latest version available
On desktop yes, but Electron apps are not allowed on the App Store so this has to be either native or using some kind of cross platform framework that still outputs a native binary
Still a bloated Electron app?
Actually no longer care. I moved onto https://outercorner.com/secrets-mac/ and apple's password keeper.
Way better move for me.
And no bloated Electron apps!
$620 million.
To convert it to electron.
I 1passed on that.

I've tried a few that are free and work just as well. I used to be a big 1Password guy but I see no use for it anymore. They're going to subscription themselves out of jobs.. lol.
Did you actually notice it hogging resources or are you just generally hating on Electron and other bloated apps that are based on it?I care, I don't tend to like resource hog apps written in a bloated language so the dev can save $$. I'd gladly have paid a reasonable amount more if they hadn't moved to Electron.
Understanding the 1Password Move to Electron
People are up in arms about the 1Password move to Electron on macOS. It seems like a bad call, but it is also a necessary one for older Macs.www.macobserver.com
Exactly, lol. People tend to forget its a Business and they will need growth and new avenues and profits. It's not Bitwarden or some community side project lol.
