Uplock seems to only offer auto-fill and browser support for Safari on macOS, FYI to others.
Got a tip for us?

I left 1PW when they began the lease program—even if you kept the data on your own server. I think I paid $59 for the first version in…2008…2009…and loved having my data autofill but more importantly I wanted my data under MY control. I KNOW how to manage a server and my server is a very, very, very small target. So small as to be virtually invisible particularly with no websites on it.
Whereas, as we’ve seen through multiple data breaches, password managers are HUGE and very lucrative targets.

This was a change with Firefox 147 that seemed unintended, there’s a Firefox config to get this working again and see 1P6/7 work again for another day!
I was pretty close to migrate to Apple Passwords or *cough* pay for a 1P8 subscription but decided to hold out. Really glad I did.

Now we know why the price is going up:
“In November 2025, CEO David Faugno told CNBC that 1Password had surpassed $400 million in annual recurring revenue, and that the company was weighing a possible IPO in 2026 or 2027.”

Hi All,
I was a diehard 1Password user until I felt that they were forcing me to go a route I wasn't comfortable with. I switched to Strongbox and have been very happy. I know they were sold from the original developer and that caused more knowledgable users to be unhappy.
I haven't had any issues and like it.
Just my 2 cents,
Philly

Screw 1 password. It randomly changed my main password to log in. I Lost my “key” so I couldn’t reset it thus making it worthless. Canceled my subscription and moved to apples native password app. Works great.
Yes, except the Safari plugin that broke some time ago, but Firefox works fine and across all active MacOS versions, according to that Mozilla thread, there are still thousands of active users of the Firefox 1P6/7 plugin.

I went too fast, KeepassXC will not deal with Debit or Credit Cards to autofill. DAMN!!!! Passwords might be the one.

Yeah this is surprising since they used to stay on top of making their app nice and I’ve noticed it like lags for several seconds when I pull it up in-browser to show the keyboard, among other issues. This may just be enough to push me to move over to Apple Passwords, especially with so many websites moving over to passcodes that authenticate with biometrics on-device.
My main concern right now is this: How can I share account access with my wife and kids? Financial and shopping login info that my wife might need to access, especially if something happens to me for some of these accounts like my 401K, and things like certain streaming accounts or other services with her and the kids? That’s where 1Password works well for me right now. The other thing is that Apple Passwords doesn’t seem well suited to storing odd credentials like server info. So I may be stuck for a bit until Apple expands the functionality of the Passwords app.
What I hate about companies like 1Password is they say they need to increase the price to add new features without ever asking us if we want them. Like I don’t really use hardly anything they’ve added since I started using this 15 years ago except shared vaults when they forced me onto a subscription. It’s all fluff. This thing is just a secure way to store passwords. I wish they just had a basic plan for people like me. But companies are always doing this, because shareholders always expect infinite growth. Such a broken system we are in.

I am OK with the price increase if it means the app/safari plugin improve. It's been a cycle of a few steps forward and then a few steps back...I suspect this next year or two will define the direction many people take. Will Passwords.app get better or will it remain barebones, will 1PW justify the price increase or is it merely a money grab, etc etc...

Not to mention that I'm not trying to type my master password into as many possibly vulnerable platforms, web browser plugins, and not-fully-controlled machines as possible...

Apple Passwords syncs across all Apple OSs and it's updated consistently. I do wish it was better implemented but as long as they are updating it, hopefully they'll continue to make it better.

The big issue for me is that it lacks the ability to store the "other stuff" that 1Password does.
One huge example is that I have tons of Credit/Debit cards stored for various people, business usages, relatives when I need to do stuff on their behalf, etc, and I have nowhere to securely store that with Apple Passwords.
Apple's solution is Wallet/Apple Pay area, but I don't want all these cards from various usages in life in my own Apple Pay/Wallet area and getting synced all over my iOS Devices.
The Uplock App, mentioned up thread, is what I wish Apple PW actually was ... essentially a 1P clone built by Apple.

AgileBits knows that most of their remaining non business users are the ones that accept any price, more than 70% of their income comes from their business users anyway, so other users are basically a nuisance. Pay or get lost, we need it for Red Bull. I think there are still developers working there, and they do of course deserve to get paid. But I am not sure if there is done much or any development anymore.
I loved 1password, and did buy licenses both for Mac and Windows, and have a "perpetual". I jumped ship to Apples solutions, first just the keychain/Safari, and was happy when they introduced the password app, but in the beginning it was not exactly great, but they have improved a lot. Still it is fragmented, and I don't think Apple intended to be a full replacement for the other password apps. The passwords are stored in the Password app, smaller files and text stored in Secured Notes (in the Notes app), and credit cards are in the Wallet (although updating and adding works best from Safari).
When I used 1password, I did no use their cloud feature, everything was stored locally, they used to have a good sync system, which was one feature I liked the most. I still ponder on storing everything locally, and may do it at some point again. But it is a risk/convenience analysis, and with 2FA and passkeys becoming the norm I still feel the convenience is what suits me more.

I did as well, primarily to support the Dev. Still firmly in the 1PW camp, Development on Uplock seems stalled, or maybe something coming. (I'm on their TestFlight)
For my use case, 1Password is the gold standard.
It's a couple of latte's a year. NBD

The latest change to use biometrics on the browser extension was nice...

I tried Apple Passwords, but 1Password is still better. I am hoping Apple gets Passwords to the point I no longer want 1Password. I really miss the days of buy once use indefinately.
1Password and other password managers encrypt the data on your devices and only send the encrypted data to their servers. If there was a breach, the data would be useless without the keys that the servers never receive.
Just keep a copy of your recovery key in a safe deposit box or locked ammo can and you’ll be good.
I switched to Apple’s passwords once they supported shared passwords. The only reason I ever used 1P was for sharing.

BTW, I do not care about Safari, I use Helium and the 1password extension is the best. Like I said I still have time to consider if I stay or leave.
