See no reason with unlock with Apple Watch on TouchID Macs, personally I have disabled unlock/authenticate with Apple Watch om Macs with TouchID.
Defiantly a nice one for Desktop Macs with no TouchID
What is it defying ;)

Personally, when I'm at my desk I have my Mac on a riser next to my monitors, and I have to lean forward to reach the TouchID spot - so the Apple watch integration is really nice. I also find my Mac TouchID to be unreliable, often taking a second try to get it to work.

True - unless your touchID macbook is in clamshell mode... :)

Not sure about everyone else, but since upgrading to Big Sur, my watch will not unlock my mac anymore...2018 Mac mini...the prefs settings just keeps saying "cannot communicate with Apple Watch" when I try to enable it...

You forgot that "some" people uses macbooks on clamshell mode with their monitor, which makes this option so good.

Happened to me same thing, sign out and sign in from your apple id from settings, worked on me rn

Sign out of iCloud on your Mac, wait a couple minutes and sign back in. Then try to enable your watch again.
 
But then again I'm on version 6 because I don't want to be forced into monthly payments just to store some passwords in my own iCloud that I already pay for.

Agreed. It's possible to buy a one-time v7 license though. I have one but forgot how I managed that; a little searching uncovers the secret (from https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/1password):

Mac users can still buy a single license for the 1Password standalone application for a one-time fee of $64.99, but this is not advertised. To purchase this version, you have to download 1Password 7 from the AgileBits website, then click "Need a license? We have those too" when prompted after opening the app for the first time.
 
Why pay when you can use iCloud keychain, or LastPass for free?
Or when you already bought 1Password's "for life" purchase, and now they want to transition you to a subscription by saying "that was lifetime use of that version of the program, not of upgrades or new versions, and also many of the old features you paid for won't be supported any more unless you move to the subscription."
 
I'd just like for the TouchID functionality to work half the time. But then again I'm on version 6 because I don't want to be forced into monthly payments just to store some passwords...
Same here - staying on version 6. I've also stayed on Mojave so I can use Adobe CS6 without subscription as well as an old Fujitsu ScanSnap. I figure within 1 to 2 years Apple silicon will get even faster and Parallels and Microsoft will work out running windows on ARM. At that point I'll probably shell out to upgrade everything.

"1Password for Safari has also been revamped, and now intelligently offers logins, credit cards, and identities right on a webpage"

I don't get it? it always gave you the relative logins when you are on a website?!

***

seriously I am all for competition and not having a monopoly and FOSS software but 1password is extremely great, never failed me, so pleasant to use, the support you get is responsive and amazing, and they still sell a license not subscription.

I wish good luck to all competitors like Dashlane, LastPass, bitwarden and all others but 1password is just too good to abandon.

You don't think it was scummy of them to sell "lifetime" license and to turn around and say, "oh, it was only for that particular version"?

Same with MS Office or Parallels or VMware. I mean, it’s all like that.
