I am a long time 1Password user, purchased Mac licenses, IOS and Android over the years.
I was annoyed when it changed to being subscription based, the price wasn't an issue I think for the value it gives the price is fair, 1Password is the only thing now keeping me on a Mac.
The issue i had with it is you don't own the software and when my credit card expired and i forgot to update it losing access to passwords even if temporarily until updating the card details left a bad taste and showed the downside of being subscription only.
It's been on my list to move away ever since. 12 months on I've still not done it, there's lot's of alternatives but 1Password have the UX and functionality just right however i know i should move as i now don't own my passwords.

- crtasm 8y agothere's not even a grace period to export your passwords? If not, wow that's a major downside! Comment elsewhere in this thread points out they have a Linux CLI app now as well.
- bwoodruff 8y agoWhen accounts are frozen (which is what happens if you stop paying) 1Password enters a read-only state. You can’t use the browser extensions, make modifications, or add new data, but you’ll have read-only access to your data. We do have a CLI that runs on Linux (as well as Mac and Windows).

- hanklazard 8y ago>1Password is the only thing now keeping me on a Mac I was in the same position. Switched to Keepass and have had no issues using it on Linux and iOS (the latter as KyPass)
