I try a lot password managers and 1Password is my fav over many years, Bitwarden is nice but ugly as hell.
Now, touch id? NO thank you, nothing beats a strong type password, I avoid touch id, face id and all that... I prefer a typed password.
If somebody stole my password, needs enter in my head, with touch id, the thief only need put my finger on.

Seeing the replies (and knowing I need to be better than I currently am) I thought I'd have a look at 1password, but it is yet another subscription service. That is a hard pass for me.
Is there a similar one people can recommend where I can just pay a one off fee, please?
Edit: LOL, downvoted for asking a question. Bravo...
they still sell one time license for $65 or $95 can't remember.
1password is dangerously good. A serious competitor should arise.
1Password is one of those rare software that actually makes your life better without having you fight with it or try to make it work, I don't subscribe for software but if I would 1password would be it.

The problem I always have is that my wife and I share a Mac and inevitably she's logged into her account so the update never goes through.
What's the solution you mention above?
I do use a browser extension. But it's always unlocked once I've unlocked the main 1Password app the first time after restarting. I have all of 1Password's "auto-lock" checkboxes disabled because my Mac itself is set to auto-lock immediately on sleep or screensaver being triggered.
This. It should be a sticky for every time there is an article posted about 1Password.
Yes, it costs money via a subscription.
Yes, I also don't like subscriptions.
I do however like and want security - a subscription to 1Password is a small price to pay (think of it as insurance) to prevent undesirable things from happening.
Good work TriBruin!
Far from it. Keychain is useless on my linux computer and it does more... see blow.
And more:

the old standby password from back in the day
- it remains on sites I no longer visit.One hazard of 1password - clutter. One feature of 1password - clutter doesn't get in your way
Consumer data is more protected here than in the US - 5 eyes is a whole other issue though!
They have completely screwed up and utterly destroyed the usability 1Password mini in v7. Version 6 of mini was almost perfect. I have been using 1Password since the beginning and have talked many people into it also. I am so profoundly disappointed that they would butcher the usability and work flow of mini so much. When you contact them about it they always respond with their patented condescending remarks that they are not going to change it back because they know what is best for their customers. Instead of listening to their many customers with the same exact complaint they just press forward, it is sad really. They went from the best password manager to the worst for usability. I am looking for a replacement.
Lots of replies but a big on for me is 2FA. On top of having my secure passwords and login information stored in 1Password, I was also have the 2FA codes. Makes it essentially hassle free as it enters my login and 2FA code. No more digging through different authenticator apps or looking for where tf my phone is. Also great because I'm on the iPhone Upgrade Program and don't have to worry about deleting and re-adding all my authenticator apps. Also makes it hassle free to log into all apps and websites again.
killall or pkill terminates processes by name. It's not a solution on it's own, but here is a brute-force approach that will terminate Safari and 1Password things for all users of the system.
Stop 1P background/service/daemon/helper processes
sudo launchctl stop *com.agilebits.onepassword*Stop Safari, unload 1P Safari extension, helper process, desktop app, 1P mini?
sudo pkill Safari 1Pass* com.agilebitsOnce all 1P things are stopped, the update should go through. If it's still not working, check to see if there are other 1P processes that are running or have just restarted
List 1P background/service/daemon/helper processes
sudo launchctl list | grep *com.agilebits.onepassword*
Ha ha!
I'm still happily using the standalone version with Dropbox too. All passwords passing sweetly between my Mac, Windows laptop and Android phone - I like a mix of OSes in my life
I feel your shock, but to put it into perspective...
I've been using it for 10yrs now, multiple times, every.single.day. So for me at least, the single purchase price when spread out per year has worked out nicely.
Aside from Mail, WhatsApp and Firefox, I can't think of a single other app (on my phone or computers) that I use more.
Also, back when I bought it, 1P was often promoted in app bundles at a reduced price. Not sure if they still do this but others on here may be more aware if they do?
Same! Hope to never have to pay for a subscription again (tried dashlane for a while)Ha ha!

Yeah it was a lot cheaper when I bought it like 10+ years ago ... I think it was like $5-10 ... I dono if I would spend $65 on it though.It is $64.95

I don’t think the desktop was that cheap, I paid $50 for it in 2014. The iOS app was $10 at the time. I also paid less for a new vehicle back then too, and I paid a lot more for a new one a few months ago.
I just looked through my emails ... iOS was $8.99 and MacOS (OSX) was $24.99
I bought them in May 2013
edit: I want to say I got the Android version pretty cheap too because I was in the beta.
It's kind of nice knowing I paid for them that long ago and they still work amazing! no subscriptions!
I remember paying that same Mac price back in the day and thinking, that is a lot for an app. Now days, that price seems like a good deal for many apps that are currently higher. lol
