and the reason I went to their cloud solution, is so that I can sync passwords between my iPhone, Mac, PC, and Linux machines. It's $35.88 for an entire year of something that I use constantly, every day, and it works perfectly.

Agreed. It's so nice updating/creating a password on desktop, and being able to use it immediately and seamlessly on my phone or other machines. This seamlessness is also critical for my less-technical family members on my plan. They want the better security, and recognize that a password manager is necessary. But if it was a pain to use they wouldn't put up with it.

FWIW, if you have DropBox, they can sync passwords via DropBox, giving you many of the same benefits as their cloud solution. You can use the pay-one-price license if you already have the motivation to use DropBox.

  That's not going to work outside of Mac or PC. Linux is a browser plugin.

    I agree that the DropBox integration isn't for everyone. Even if you have just Macs and iOS devices as I do, DropBox is much more expensive, so it's not worth getting just to sync passwords. But on the other hand, for users who have DropBox already—possibly because they aren't using Linux—this does allow them to sync passwords without paying another $40 a year.

For me, the sync has been less than perfect (Windows + Android user) on more than one occasion. There used to be a force sync button way back when, but it has since been removed as far as I can tell. I had to Google a workaround (creating a dummy secure note was one workaround) for the times the sync wouldn't work. I asked why there was no Force Sync button on their support forums, and was told that they took it out because they want their paying customers to report sync issues with an error report instead of giving them an instant fix via the button. Needless to say, as someone who has been using and paying for 1PW (upgrades and subs) since around 2008, I was not impressed with that response. To me, the Windows and Android clients seem to be second-class citizens compared to their Apple counterparts.
