Is it possible to pay for a subscription and use a local vault? I've no problem with the business model, but I'd rather keep the data to myself. Edit: Answere

Is it possible to pay for a subscription and use a local vault? I've no problem with the business model, but I'd rather keep the data to myself. Edit: Answered my own question > 1Password 7 from the Mac App Store will only support our hosted service, as that’s what you’re purchasing with a 1Password membership. If you install from our website, you’ll have to option to use a standalone vault synced via iCloud if you purchase a standalone license, or use our hosted service if you purchase a 1Password membership.

Yes it is. The new release even brings local vault to Windows.

  From what I'm reading now, it seems like it's read-only. Only to get things from a vault onto their servers. I still don't understand how the revenue model (subscriptions) necessitates the technical solution (cloud storage).

It doesn't. But that is the recommended solution. You _can_ subscribe and use a standalone vault. But you're missing out on functionality that you're paying for that way. Ben Woodruff AgileBits

      Thank you Ben. Yes, I get that. There's a subset (maybe 10-20%) of data that I can't (in some cases because of legislation)/don't want to put in the cloud, while the majority would be just fine. So, yes, I'd have to accept the compromise. Thank you again, I have now acquired a subscription and version 7 looks very nice indeed.
