Disappointed to see so much negativity in this thread. Password management is still an unsolved problem in most peoples lives. Think of your parents - are they using a good digital password manager, or do they still have a bunch of sticky notes with their passwords written out on them? Wouldn't it be better if they were using a password manager? Most people I know, especially the ones that aren't tech savvy, won't use a password manager until the UX and product experience are nailed. So far, 1Password is the only password management product I see making progress in that direction.
People complained when they upped their prices and moved to a cloud model (and in all fairness that transition wasn't handled perfectly), but honestly, the product is now way better, works on more platforms, and is totally seamless. I hope they use the investment money to continue to make the product better and to get it into more people's hands.
- AlexandrB 7y ago> but honestly, the product is now way better It is not. 1Password 7 for Mac is a UX regression IMHO. Most of my common workflows have become more clunky. There's useless UI elements I can't get rid of taking up prime real estate (Watchtower). And, while this is subjective, I think it's also uglier than 1Password 6.
- emptysongglass 7y agoI tell friends and family the threat they're under by continuing to use the same password for all their accounts. They know I'm a geek so they ask me what do I do and I have them up on the free and open-source Bitwarden in a few minutes. They love it, I love helping them. Profit is fine so long as a user always remains in control. Given 1Password's history of pulling the rug, I can't guarantee that control.
