Why use an expensive app when iCloud Keychain is free and works so well. Especially now when we also can store 2FA-codes in Keychain.
Is it safe to keep both password and 2FA code in iCloud? Seems like putting both of the eggs in one basket.

Sure, iCloud keychain is adequate if you're only saving passwords and you exclusively use the Apple environment,

1Password does a bunch more.

Though with the changes to subscription only model they've lost me as a customer. I'll use my v7 as long as it'll work but then will need to transition to a different platform.

Is this really an exclusive deal for MacRumors? The landing page doesn't mention MacRumors in any way, shape, or form. You'd think you'd see something like "And exclusively for MacRumors readers, this limited time offer..."

If you search "50% Off Your First Year of 1Password Families" on internet it will show up lots of websites with the same promo

Because it doesn't work with shared vaults the way 1Password does. Within my family, we each get our own personal password vault and also shared vaults with stuff like wifi passwords and logins to things we all use. It's incredibly useful. Along with credit cards and logins and 2FA tokens, it also can store things like pictures of driver's licenses and other documents.

I'm no fan of software rental either, but 1Password is very frequently updated for website compatibility and security. Anything I put this much important stuff into is well worth renting.
 
Reasons I stick with 1password
1) I share all my passwords with my wife. This isn’t possible with iCloud Keychain as each account is separate.
2) All the additional items I can save in 1password including adding custom fields for every login (security questions and answers) and secure documents like copies of drivers license or passport.
3) With family plan ends up being only $1 a month per account which is cheap enough for all my family to keep using.
4) maybe iCloud does this but 1password shows me if sites have been compromised, reused passwords, poor passwords, and other security alerts like those.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Thanks, but no thanks, MacRumors.
Because iCloud Keychain is 100% useless on Android and Linux (windows still? I can’t keep track). I love how people say “it’s free” no kidding, only if you use Apple product. This has been said millions of times too, 1Password and other password managers do way more also. They fact I can share a vault with my wife and/or kids, recover vaults if someone forgot their master password, keep all my special router settings, share a guest vault on my work computer so only my work passwords show, and so much more.
But cool, as long as iCloud Keychain works for you.
I also lost my password twice because of iCloud Keychain, never again using them.

Not to mention their new share functionality that lets you share with non-1P users.
Keychain is better than nothing but 1P is a much more powerful tool. Some of us see easy value in the sub (I was irritated by the change too, but I understand it).
 
Everyone complaining about 1Password's switch to a subscription model is doing just that..complaining. The price is reasonable, the product is stellar, and I would MUCH rather have a company that has a future with recurring revenue so I know the product will always be updated and will be functional. Enjoy your "free" alternatives that will either switch to subscription or be made obsolete in a few years when the company realizes it's spending money maintaining a product that gets it minimal revenue.

One word. BITWARDEN.
 
I'm still using the old 1Password 6 which was sold as "pay once, keep it forever".

So the big question is can people like me get this deal and then simply move all of the data over to 1Password without any hiccups? I wouldn't mind upgrading and paying for this service since I honestly couldn't live without 1Password.
