Deals Exclusive: Get Your First Year of the 1Password Individual Plan for 50% Off

[johnkree]

Agilebits is one of the worst companies constantly lying about their reasons to change their dedicated apps and using a Chrome wrapper, forcing people to use their online service instead of their own vaults and having security flaws but instead of closing them they blame users who are dumb enough to get malware on their machines in the first place. I would think twice if you want to give them your precious data.

1Password migrants thread

Now look at this. And this: https://support.1password.com/security-assessments/ So we are supposed to trust our data to that company? Don't get me wrong, software will always have security issues and flaws. There will always be mistakes and holes and they will stuff them and with the next...

I'll switch from 1Password when my subscription runs out. It's unfortunate they're going down the path that they are.

The only thing I would also suggest (especially if you're paranoid; I'm a Unix/Linux sysadmin and ISO; it's my job to be paranoid!) would be to not only see if you can save a local copy of your vault, but see if you can also delete your vault prior to your subscription lapsing. If you can do that, then you can be guaranteed that your vault will not be available for them to use or do anything with (at least, outside of any backups they may have taken of the servers containing the users' vaults).

I'm still using the old 1Password (with iCloud sync) that came with a lifetime license. It still works perfectly fine on macOS Monterey and across my all Apple devices so I haven't seen a good reason to update.

I would be more than happy to pay a one-off price for 1Password again to have another new lifetime license for it, but I honestly cannot be bothered to subscribe to another monthly/yearly service.

If the creators of 1Password were smart, they should offer lifetime licenses again alongside subscriptions. It's only a matter of time when Apple creates their own Password app and then even I will jump to using it exclusively.

altho, as of last week, Chrome stopped signing in such a way as to break the 1Password plugin. According to 1P support, it will not ever work with Chrome again. They "suggest moving to our subscription plan"

Ouch. There ya go.

Was this related to the Chrome 100 update? If so, then that update broke it, and 1PW is not going to fix it.

I just went M1 Pro, and during my restore via Migration Assistant, I chose not to bring over all applications, so I went straight Enpass on this one with no trace of 1Password on it. On this Mac, I'm not looking back, while on my mid-2011 MBA, it is staying as is until it dies.

My response would have been ”I suggest you fix this issue or lose me as a customer”.

Basically the #1 response from AgileBits to 1Password customers is "moving to our subscription plan", that's his #1 goal rather than resolve customers issues, very lame!

If you aren't on their subscription, AgileBits DGAF about you anymore

Sad to see

It was actually Chrome 99. From 1Password Support:

"On March 15th 2022, Google released Chrome 99, which introduced a new code signing certificate. Because of this change, 1Password for Mac no longer works in Chrome 99 or later.
To continue using Chrome with 1Password on your Mac, you'll need to upgrade to a 1Password membership account. With a 1Password membership, you won't have to worry about dealing with licensing and you can easily use 1Password on all your devices."

No, now you’ll just need to worry about a reoccurring subscription for life! 🙄

They truly have revealed themselves to be horrible people. So glad I dumped them.

Same thing with me about trying to save an image over 5MB. "Our subscription has no limits".

It's disgusting. My cloud service isn't limited to 5MB files, and I sync on my service. This nonsensical limitation simply exists along with everything else to cripple the software you own into an unusable state to force a move to their service. I feel very ripped off.

Frankly, I'd have rather they not offered these "lifetime" licenses because they're anything but.

I've been trying out Minimalist, since they offer normal licenses, and I'm going to have to make a choice soon. I will not have my credentials held for ransom. And honestly, this is the one service I won't compromise under any condition. I'd rather start writing passwords on paper than to be charged monthly for the right to exist.

I've moved entirely to Apple's Keychain. It takes notes now so it does everything I need it to do. It would be nice to have a history of previous passwords but it works well for what I need and I've been using it for awhile. Yes, I have a KeepassXC database of my old 1Password database.

Makes sense. I always used Apple’s Keychain before, but have been testing 1Password since Dec. It seems nice, but I really don’t see what it offers me over Apple’s Keychain. I all use it for is passwords, credit card information and auto fill address/phone information.

I think with Apple products, Keychain may even be easier, as I think it is annoying how you have hit ok to autofill personal and credit card information, unless I just don’t know it well enough yet.

Exactly. There is no need to use something blown up like 1Password if Apple's service already fits your needs. And as you say, it is much better integrated than anything else. And Apple is improving it bit by bit.

One of the first thing I do on my Mac is turn off Touch ID requirement for autofilling of passwords. That drives me nuts. LOL. (Mac OS --> Settings --> Touch ID --> Turn off Password Autofill)

Since my iPad/iPhone has face-id I leave that on.
