1Password Simplifies Access With New Unlock Setting

That's like comparing a Model T Ford to a Bentley.
Personally, I can afford the 1Password - it's worth it to me.
We got some discount when they went subscription. Can’t recall exactly how much.
But I liked their intention. I will stay with 1P as it’s so easily available on all devices.

This is a current subtopic of the thread
A daughter of a poster was locked out of their passwords for two weeks because some person tried to hack their iCloud account. If Apple decides you cannot provided compelling proof of who you are, the loss of your passwords are a real possibility. You will lose much more than just access to the Apple ecosystem.
My biggest issue with 1Password is their refusal to adopt the Autofill API in MacOS and force you to continue using their buggy extensions for browsers and that also means it's natively able to fill fields that are not within browsers.
I've raised this issue for 2 years with many others in the AgileBites forums and they keep trying to troubleshoot the extensions (they are buggy at best) instead of admitting they are not perfect and focusing their resources on leveraging the API available in MacOS like they do iOS already.

Sounds like another company that we discuss here…..
Same here. It also is a far more capable app.
I got logged out of my account back last year, on every device I own all at once. I was far from the only one. It was part of some big system... crash? Bug? It was never explained, but it affected god knows how many thousands of users, some of whom were locked out for weeks.
I was lucky and was at home with a bunch of trusted Apple devices on hand so I recovered in like 30 minutes, but it put the fear in me, for sure. If I'd been travelling at the time with only my phone, I could have been royally screwed. I think it's prudent to, at the very least, back up your passwords somewhere periodically.
I do the same with my 1Password files. I export every month in both .csv and their own proprietary format and save everything to an encrypted disk image I keep uploaded on a couple of separate cloud services in addition to my own Macs. Probably paranoid, but there are a LOT of eggs in that one basket.
Also monitoring Uplock, they fill all the gaps that Apple Passwords does not (documents, credit cards, etc)
Works on all Apple devices is not what I'm thinking when I think "multiplatform".
Also, requiring no account, whatever that means, concerns me.
Our of all the subscriptions I pay for (Adobe, MS365, Netflix, Apple Arcade and others) 1PW is most probably the best value for money I get. I use it goodness knows how many times a day across a range of devices and OSes. I find it easy to use and reliable. I greatly value how it helps me keep my online world secure with unique passwords for every account. It's a genuinely indispensable app for me.
Totally agree, and as a Fastmail customer as well, I really value the integration between the two for on the fly Masked Email creation.
I find that basically a must nowadays (discrete deletable emails/accounts per site).
Another data point for those that want to migrate away from 1PW... Passkey export is in the works so moving between Apple Passwords and 1Password may get easier
I currently have 32 Passkeys

How are you locked into Fastmail using your own domain? Heck, you’re not even locked in if you don’t use your own domain. I switched email providers so often, it’s not even a big deal for me anymore. I recently just got my own domain so I can’t switch easier.
1Password is still better than Apple's Passwords app. However, I really dislike that it's buggy in the web. The extension often doesn't unlock or show up in the text fields.
I'm very happy with 1Password, works in all my systems, MAC, IOS, LINUX in all flavours; their linux installation guides are easy to follow.
I have Bitwarden (free option) as a backup option, I only update the new data (copy & paste).
I’ve been a paying 1Password customer since 2011 and I’ve paid separately for the Windows, macOS and iOS apps over the years. They haven’t iterated a large amount nor do they have a vision for the Enterprise space. I’m irked after a year of having been impacted by a Touch ID bug for over a year, it has yet to be fixed. Their support could care less about tracking the bug. I’m done.
I recently tried Keeper and will be pursuing a pilot at my company.

Agreed that'd be nice, but in the meantime, I've just started putting stuff like security questions in the freeform "Notes" field that Apple Passwords has now.
