Removing the ability to get your own passwords out of your password management utility that you paid for would be corporate suicide.

Crippling it, not so much. I moved away from 1password at the time of the subscription palaver. I managed to move everything to Keepass but each entry has it's own folder. I don't blame 1Password for the state of my Keepass db (although they pretty much forced my hand) but the closed nature of 1Password does bite you in the arse when you decide to leave.

  I keep meaning to write some Applescript and/or browser glue for pass(1). Uses GPG, checks into Git, and even has an iOS app.

  I switched from 1Password to LastPass last year and it was a smooth transition. If they’d had a Linux version I’d still be a customer right now.

    We evaluated Lastpass about a year ago and the UI was borderline unusable. Doesn't matter so much for technical teams, but it does in broader use cases.

      What did you settle on? It’s basically just a browser extension.

"Corporate suicide"? 99% of the users wont even notice the feature existed...

  They will if you go out of business or decide to spin off the product.

    "Corporate suicide" implies that it would be a problem for the company. Users noticing it after the company is already "going out of business" does not qualify as such.

      Yes, you're right, an already-dead company can't die a second time in this highly-hypothethical scenario. They're still dead.
