At this point, I'm not upset about this as I previously subscribed, but I'm at the point now where I'm thinking of bolting because it has become a pain. At this point, I just need to find something that is secure, portable, can be backed up, and cross platform.
The syncing experience since at least 6 has been spotty between my Windows client, my iPhone, and my iPad. I can't tell you how many times I've had to reset a password because the device I was on didn't have the current gibberish password. Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but using the create login -> password generation bit does not sync at all. There's also the issue that every time I shutdown my Windows PC, I am greeted with an alert that AgileBits.1Password (there's another dot-separated part in the name as well, not sure what or specifically where) there was some issue in it that I have to close to shutdown.
With all that being said, I don't think Agile Bits is a bad company or that the subscription model is evil or anything of that nature. I think they're pretty decent people that are trying to keep the company profitable and alive. Paying for updates for password managers probably isn't the sexiest business model on either side of the equation. I would prefer that once I pay for it, it could function at that level (with maybe bug fixes) leveraging DropBox, iCloud, OneDrive, whatever, but I also understand they felt the need to cut it off and keep it relatively simple. It just isn't for me anymore.
- bwoodruff 8y agoThanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I understand your perspective, and I’m sorry to hear that ultimately 1Password did not work out for you. One of the primary reasons we built 1Password memberships was because of difficulties faced by customers in syncing with 3rd party services, and difficulties faced by our customer service team in troubleshooting those services (often black boxes).
