I immediately thought this is the worst possible news about 1Password. In order to let the investors cash in, they'll ruin a good product or pivot completely, like selling online ads.
- kgraves 7y agoAgreed, to be honest, I was considering them as a password manager for my personal needs, now I am unsure about trusting them with this announcement.
- TheTaytay 7y agoI understand being somewhat cynical about acquisitions under certain circumstances, but expecting ruin or a pivot of this sort feels like quite a leap to me. Are there other examples of profitable SAAS companies, particularly ones with enterprise offerings, later pivoting to that extreme? I understand selling lots of ads happens after an Instagram acquisition. (They're buying eyeballs/attention after all.) But this feels like a totally different beast to me.
