I just love it when people complain about someone with a different opinion and fabricate some "facts" out of thin air proving they are "probably" stupid/unrealistic/silly geese, or hypocrites.
Got a tip for us?

My thoughts exactly. I bought every version license from 1password 3 up to 7, and on multiple platforms. Been quite happy to do that but definitely not for subscription.
I invite you to look up the TL;DR on the 1password migrants thread
Not sure what free stuff you tried. There are free, subscription, and one time purchase. If you are pleased with 1password and the subscription, you do you. Otherwise just as above look up the 1password migrants thread.
So your logic is that paying a one time fee of $80 to Strongbox to lock the app is none-sense so you will subscribe forever to use 1password?!
its not the price, its the business model. I have at least 48 apps on my iphone. If each costs $3/month I will be paying rental of $144 month. Then I have to pay rental for my TV apps, my macbook apps, and car dashboard apps, then my IoT firmware...you see where this is going?
by bycotting these business models we show that they are not fruitful and force them back into license model WHICH made many tech companies super rich like Microsoft, EA, Adobe, QuickBooks, etc etc
Sorry, I moved on. User 1PW since the beginning and bought every version, but I’m out.
1PW lied on these very forums and has taken a very consumer-unfriendly turn.

1Password is great. I wouldn't trust myself to safely store all my passwords, so it's better to pay professionals. And the complaints about electron is some nerd ****
What they lie about?

Was in same situation. Check out Minimalist password manager. I paid the lifetime (they say it will be honored if they ever switch to subscription). Import of 1Pass data was seamless. They don’t currently have vault sharing but are working on it. Regular updates. Currently I keep the wife up-to-date by sharing my backup file.
I am moving back to ONLY using apple keychain. Just as easy since I am all apple products.
If it had been only about passwords I might have considered only Keychain, as it is a lot better than it has been.
But I have saved so much other sensitive information in 1P over the years….
I can take those 3 yrs of half subscription fee and consider other options after that 🙂
Just adding a comment to the thread so the 1Password staff read and see how they have destroyed a once GREAT app into this electron, forced subscription and forced using their cloud and the app has become everything is one was against.
going to transfer to this https://minimalistpassword.com/

Same here. I’ve been with them for 12+ years and it’s always worked great across all my devices and platforms.
It’s kinda new, but I just downloaded a password manager called SecretKeeper. Very simple to use, and completely free. Like other password managers, it supports auto-fill and everything is encrypted locally. I’ve used it for a couple days and am pretty happy with it.

I never said I use 1Password. But if they are gonna offer a free version but lock the app lock options behind a paywall is ridiculous. It's a password manager. They are made to be secure. And making the free version not secure it total nonsense.
How is it resource-intensive? It barely even shows up in my monitor, so I don't think that's the case. Have you actually USED it on a regular basis to verify this?
I don't find it resource-intensive at all.
I don't believe the models such as Adobe and QuickBooks and let me pause and laugh hysterically at you mentining EA which is one of the most predatory, anti-consumer companies in existence. Seriously?!?
Exactly. My point ("grandfathered") because I refuse to pay for something I've already paid for 6.8.9 works great.
Agreed! There business model is to own nothing and be happy about it. I say rubbish!

But you don’t pay $3 for each of you apps, do you? Probably not. The “ifs” are just that, if.
I for one would like to live in a fantasy world where paying for software once should make it work forever, including updates and support. Companies cannot survive in this market and I know they could at one point but that's a fantasyland.
I know some people think open source should be the way to go for everything but it seems few realize that many open source projects are primarily contributed to by companies paying people to do so. If they think those open-source projects would survive if those paid employees suddenly stopped are fooling themselves.
