Nobody asked for those pointless features.
Scam.
Scam.

Apple Passwords isn't perfect, but it's 99% of the way there with 1Passwords and was beyond happy to ditch it.
Had they went cheaper, I would have maybe considered swapping back at $9.99/yr but $50?
pffff, I hope whatever cost analysis price increase they ran predicted how many customers they will lose. $50 a year for a password manager is nuts.

See how the headline even goes for a negative angle. Doesn't mention anything in the notice all the increased utility it provides or that cost of labor and running a business in general have greatly increased in the past couple years. MacRumors always wants to go with the most negative and click-bait headlines.

Better not be using an M processor then. 1Password 6 runs on Rosetta. Last week I exported all my passwords from it as I didn't migrate everything to my 1Password alternative being Bitwarden: a solution which resembles 1Password of the early days.
I quit using 1Password when they moved to cloud and introduced subscriptions not too long after I upgraded the licenses on all my platforms again. They lost my sympathy then, even though I was with them since day 1. I've never looked back since. Not sure if I'm going to keep my family account with Bitwarden as they're USA based while Proton Pass is Europe based.

I migrated to Enpass a few years ago. About half the price. It reminds me of 1Password before it got ******ified.

What increased utility? If anything it's gotten worse. I find the parts of 1Password don't know what they're doing - it'll say "unlock 1Password" after it's unlocked.
I do like sharing between family vaults. I don't like F1 racing.
I think it's getting near time to leave. I wish I had never "upgraded" from 6. Proton Pass is probably the way to go.

Plus you can self-host vaultwarden if you wish.
Cross platform, plugins for browsers, the only lacking thing is the inability to completely replace the function of passwords at a system level in MacOS.

1Password is the gold standard and no other comes close, especially if you’re a business user. Apple Passwords is great for basic stuff, but it’s so slow to roll out new features.

Also no one seem to metion roboform which is cross platform and comes in 1yr 3yr and 5 years plans and allow local vaults.

Are you sure? Unlike Apple's App Store, I've been able to download free apps without needing to use a Microsoft account or logged into the Microsoft Store.

I am considering leaving 1password but I also have an Android phone, Bitwarden is a good alternative for cross platform, they have a free plan. I still have a few more months to think about this, but moving away still is a consideration, I am sick and tired of subscriptions and charging more and more, like MS Office, every year it gets more and more expensive.
Fully agree with this specific aspect. Dropbox is now also a huge bloated slow glitchy Electron POS garbage that does a ton of useless stuff nobody wants, unlike the early Dropbox which was small and fast and did the only <one> thing people wanted which was to sync a Dropbox folder to multiple machines. Personally use Maestral client on Mac now (small Python GUI util) to sync Dropbox files, for the couple of times a year I need to use the Dropbox sync functionality.

So I thought I'd use this chance to try out Apple Passwords again.
I did an import and thought things were going well until I realized it doesn't store credit cards like 1Password does.
Those are in Apple Pay & Wallet in Settings on macOS.
Apple has decided you can't use any of those features unless you have Automatic Security Updates turned on.
I thought lengths they'd go to "force folks to upgrade" couldn't get any lower and I was wrong.
There is no reason at all for these particular requirements to be tied together.

I've been getting errors when it tries to sync with Dropbox, too. Happened after an update which I believe triggered the latest nag at the top of the 1Password Android app telling me to switch over, so I assume it's deliberate.
Since most of my passwords have long been switched over to something else, it's time to go through and delete a bunch of old accounts at systems I no longer use and delete it. I'll probably kill off my Dropbox as well; I only kept it around because 1Password never expanded to use the other backup services (Drive, etc.) like they previously promised, when they pivoted to a subscription instead.

This has prompted me to think of ditching 1P and moving to Apple’s Passwords.
Is there an export function in 1P, or import function in Passwords….?
or is it a case of going through every password stored individually and copying/pasting into Apple’s app?!
I have hundreds..,,,,,!!!

For now 1PW is still the one to use for me. I use it for more than just passwords. 1 PW has categories for Secure Notes, Credit Cards, Identities, Bank Accounts, Passports and Driver's Licenses, and other useful categories. Maybe if and when Apple adds similar categories I will switch full time. But for now, I am sticking with 1PW.
