The subscription is the same as one dinner out for two (for family license). And you know what happens the next day with your dinner. With 1P, you have 364 more days of use. I know which I prefer.
Got a tip for us?

well if I can I use it as much as I want, and resell it, and do whatever I want with it I consider it owning it. For instance if I can hack iOS and side load things thats not illegal is it?
You are right but here are something to consider:-
-If each app and service will be subscriptions, then its no longer a dinner price but a monthly reoccuring bill
-If your credit card fails, if their servers go down, your app will malfunction and if you depend on that app your whole life will malfunction assuming you are using it for business or job not a music player.
-According to what I heard USA court says he who owns the servers owns the data on that server, so 1password owns your passwords and can do whatever they want with it from a legal point from view. DO NOT QOUTE ME ON THAT , but thats what they said about Facebook IIRC.
Then have at it! In all sincerity I'm curious to see how it'll play out. IANAL, but I'm guessing Sirius XM got shot down since there was some wording combined with the the circumstances say they couldn't legally back down. AFAIK, perhaps 1P's EULA says says something different otherwise?
And it's interesting that Sirius XM's lifetime subscription (where you pay only once and get to use it "forever") got pointed out. It seems companies have learned this isn't a good idea. That's why no companies now offer a 1-time license, nor lifetime subs in business cases where they need recurring income for the long haul. Can someone name some examples where you have an option to pay monthly/annually, or do a lifetime sub?
TiVo. And I did it long ago with Feedly, though I'm not sure whether that's still a thing.
I meant lifetime subscriptions now. They just don't seem to be a thing anymore :\ That said, i hear some TiVo users are still rocking their lifetime subs!
I assumed as much, and TiVo does still have "All-in" plans, but I see that Feedly has indeed gone subscription only.
Ha same here, though I only had 1 of my 3 on lifetime. That said, I think they mean the unit's lifetime, not ours!
Grab a good free KeePass client and forget 1Password ever existed. I used 1Password for from v.2 to v.7, but refuse to participate in its new investors' v. 8 "All your passwords belong to us" cash grab. I now use StrongBox on MacOs and iOS, and KeepassX elsewhere. Once it's set up, it's pretty seamless.
I recently moved more than 1,200 records from 1Password to StrongBox, so... yes?Do people really have THAT many passwords?
Well, 1PW just proofed the usefulness of perpetual licenses and the problems of subscription. Only because I have a perpetual 1PW 7 license I stick with it for the time being and still use local vaults.
For me it is not so much about the price (even if I do not like subscriptions for software) but about the functionality they removed from 1PW 8. In addition I do not like their attitude toward customers. I can very well decide what is right for me and do not need 1PW to "force me towards happiness".
Funny thing - I sent a request to their support to ask how to upgrade to 1Password7. I specifically asked for a license. Got an automated response from sales with subscription pricing for 1password 8.
N.b. Under their FAQ there is a "How to upgrade to 1Password 7 for mac?" and I sent my request using their instruction in that FAQ...

You can no longer buy a license. That's why many of us were upset. See here in their recent AMA for confirmation.
Yeah, I know. I just wanted to point out that while they still suggest it is possible by having the question answered in their FAQ, their "support" has automated the form, so when you use it to ask for help, all you get is a sales mail that doesn't contain one single word addressing the question asked by their customer.
A poorly automated robot support is apparently all they need to provide customers with.

About 700, give or take a few.Do people really have THAT many passwords?
This is what I use on all my devices. Such a great app...works on Windows, Mac, iOS, iPadOS…
I used to have 1password 4 for all my devices—using a different cloud platform. It was great, but I refuse to pay them that kind of money. The only reason for subscription should be the price is WAY lower. That‘s why I switched to Bitwarden. (That and privacy concerns…)
I will give it a try, but I have a 1 or 2 year (can't remember) 50% off deal with 1password so after that I can look at other options.
However, way less money meaning Bitwarden approx $1/month vs. 1Password regular $3/month is not that significant for me... if add a zero or two on those then of course! However, I notice for the low price on BW, you get 2 users so right there is a big advantage.
