What if you have a device that iCloud isn’t available on? What if you want to check passwords on someone else’s computer? Or on a public one?

- robenkleene 7y agoAgreed, those are advantages of the 1Password subscription service. My opinion about 1Password wanting to migrate people to their subscription service for business reasons is based on reading forum threads over the years to figure out where they've buried the option each time there's a new version. E.g., there are two ads for their sync service on the page that describes how to use iCloud[1] (they've toned-down the messaging a ton these days, that support page didn't used exist, and the forum support thread were banging the 1Password Cloud Sync drum much harder than they do today). Note also I'm replying to this comment "It’s cloud-based because the majority of password management users want automatic cross-device updates without setting up their own server." Seems relevant that "cross-device updates" don't require a server (at least among Apple devices)? [1]: https://support.1password.com/sync-with-icloud/ https://support.1password.com/sync-with-icloud/
