1Password Getting More Expensive Starting in March

[kinless]

LOL no. They can pry my perpetually-licensed 1Password 7 from my cold dead hands (or until macOS updates break it).

Risky considering Apple’s really poor account recovery should you get locked out.

And 1p is better? That's the fun of security, it starts getting overly secure.

Bitwarden is also raising their prices.

Bitwarden has prices?! 🙂

Their free plan is miles better than the Apple passwords app.

- gave us “AI-powered item naming” (????)

Come on. You mean you dont need help coming up with a name for yahoo.com? lol

I ditched them when they went subscription. Still using the single purchase version, but slowly getting everything in Passwords. Just wish Passwords would support file attachments. At least images.

Doubt they care about individual users. Businesses keep 1Password alive.

I’d been meaning to cancel so this was a good email to receive.

I live and die by 1Password (and now get it free for a family at work) but my parents are Apple Passwords users. And although I can't ever see myself leaving the 1Password ecosystem, but I think this is going to push a lot of folks to Apple Passwords and Bit Warden.

…or Keeper. I’m considering rolling this out at my company because 1Password has no strategic cybersecurity vision and Keeper offers a free family plan to every licensed user. Pretty nice perk.

As with anything it is a weighing up what works best for you. Each have to decide that themself. Personally I dont like to put all my eggs in one basket.

Use KeePass(XC).

I get wanting a solution for people who use Windows computers, but for that price, just look up the password on your phone and type it on your PC.

If you install iCloud for Windows, you can view and manage your iCloud passwords on your PC. You can also have passwords autofilled in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

This is what my mom does. I've configured her Edge browser to only use iCloud as the password manager.

1Password said subscription prices will be going up $12 per year.

Initially thought it said "prices will be going up to $12 per year."

Then I saw this

The individual plan will be $47.88, up from $35.88, while the family plan will be $71.88, up from $59.88. Pricing per month for the individual plan works out to $3.99 (up from $2.99), while the family plan will be $5.99 per month (up from $4.99).

and realized it's going up by $12 per year.

That makes the individual plan price a 33.44% increase. Yikes!

Here we go again with the discussion about 1P and Apple Passwords and pros and cons. People need to understand everyone's use case is different. Apple passwords doesn't work cross platform. 1P is a subscription. Bitwarden also raised their prices to $50.

I can’t imagine paying $4/month for something Apple offers for free. I get wanting a solution for people who use Windows computers, but for that price, just look up the password on your phone and type it on your PC.

i use apple passwords and my windows computer together, no problem. there’s an edge icloud password extension that works great.

1. Storing credit card info securely, in a way that I can easily access for reference. What's the best way to do this without 1Password, encrypted/locked Notes?

Apple Wallet —> Autofill

Yep, just learned my Mom is perma-banned from iCloud this weekend. So that was fun.

See if you can do ASCII images 🤣

I am still using 1Password 6 with macOS 26.4 Beta 2. They won't see any money ever from me again.

 

[KUguardgrl13]

Pretty sure I’m still on the free or one-time pay version? Works well enough for generating complex passwords. I just haven’t taken the time to migrate to Apple Password.

 

[Icelus]

38% price increase in Europe.

 

[rwilliams]

I have been with them since day one and have not found anything better, especially since I use multiple operating systems, so I am staying on board despite the price change. For me, 1Password is like the Dropbox of password managers and handles everything I store there quite well. 🤷‍♂️

Same here. I'm not thrilled by the increase, but another dollar a month is nothing and I've found that it works great across Apple platforms and the Windows OS I have to use for work to store complex passwords for a lot of different systems.

 

[ludihubdev]

Self hosted Vaultwarden is the way to go. If you take privacy seriously you don't store your passwords on third party cloud servers. I know it requires a little know how, but in the age of AI search, everyone who is a little tech savvy can do it.

Bitwarden is free.

Use KeePass(XC).

I say this as a user of KeePassXC - it's not a very good substitute for 1Password 6/7.

I mean, it's functional and KeePassium does it's very best. But the whole thing is rickety and fairly ugly. Still, it's free and it's local and it's under active development.

Another Apple passwords convert here. I did miss the credit card syncing function, but I've found a workaround for that with an app called Access (now Uplock) but even they have moved to a subscription model vs. the original onetime payment.

I understand that developers need to eat, but not everything requires continual development that justifies subscription based pricing. Everything is moving to 'value-based' pricing rather than covering the cost plus a reasonable profit. And then they boil the frog with these constant small prices increases. Ugh!
