Yea I am going to go to Snowden for all my security needs.

He's a smart guy with tons of information and a deep understanding of it. There's plenty to learn from him. But, he won't be helping you set up your firewall or selling you anti-virus software.

I use Strongbox as well and found it to be top notch.

Thanks. It helps to hear from someone who is actively using it.

I also wanted to say that the developer (Mark) is very responsive to problems and questions. I think I paid $70 dollars (iOS and Mac) for the lifetime license and have been very pleased. I haven't missed 1Password at all. I also use Bitwarden as my backup.

Yes. 1Password 7 handles standalone vaults. However, to use standalone vaults in 1Password 7, you have to purchase a standalone license for 1Password 7, in 1Password 7. That can no longer be done, as they have shut down the servers that provision those licenses. So even if you downloaded 1Password 7 to purchase that license, or are already using 1Password 7 with a subscription and want to move to standalone, you could not do that. They are pushing everyone to a subscription, regardless of situation.

So if you are already using 1Password 7 with a standalone vault and standalone license, you are in the sweet spot with being able to move from Intel to Apple Silicon. You can run 1Password 7 on any Silicon Mac and be good ad infinitum. I was in a bad spot because 1Password 6 was Intel only, so when Apple drops Intel support I would be screwed completely, as I'd have no viable upgrade path with a standalone vault.

I'm using 1password 7 with a subscription, and I'm using stand-alone vaults.

Note that I've been using local vaults since 1password 1, so I haven't created one recently - but they still work.

Let me ask this another way. Did you buy the standalone license? The only way to do that would have been through the menu options in 1Password 7 to purchase a license. If you purchased one that was explicitly standalone, you wouldn't need a subscription, as the standalone license is permanent/in perpetuity. If you have a subscription, you are not using a standalone license, as your subscription is cloud-based.

Standalone means exactly that: not needing anything cloud based or a monthly charge to use 1Password with all of its features unlocked.

This can't be right then; if you are using a subscription, then you aren't on a standalone version. According to AgileBits, you can only have one or the other, not both.. and as of June/July 2021, you can't purchase a standalone license, as they shut down those servers by that time. That's what spawned the near 50 1Password migrants thread.

I’ve had the subscription for years now and I can see I can make a stand-alone vault pretty easily.

And "for years" is what? because you are no longer able to do this in any version of 1Password, especially if migrating from an older version.

The other thing to note is that you're seeing that in the iOS app. The creation of a standalone vault is not possible with the MacOS app, due to the aforementioned limitation of not being able to buy a standalone license.

2016, so it’s a while.

when I go on my computer, I’ll check there.

Anyone have GUI, features and functionality feelings on 1P8?
