According to this forum post I just found[1], they are "no longer advertising" the non-subscription mode, and they apparently will not directly answer questions about whether it's still sold: >> "We're no longer advertising standalone licenses" Does that mean "We're no longer offering standalone licenses"? > Membership [aka subscription-based] is the way forward with 1Password. It's really disappointing that their communication is so transparently evasive on this point.

We continue to sell licenses for each 1Password 7 for Mac and 1Password 7 for Windows. These licenses are available within the app when downloaded from our website. We would strongly recommend 1Password membership as that is going to provide the best experience, but if you’d prefer a license for one or both of those products they are for sale. We recommend memberships as they address a number of requests our customers had that we were unable to accommodate without connecting to a server to perform the heavy lifting, such as 2FA, sharing, etc. It also significantly simplifies the purchasing experience: a subscription includes access to the latest versions of all the 1Password apps.

  As a standalone license customer for almost 10 years now, the constant responses like this and the deliberate non-answers on the forums really make me wonder how long I will continue to use 1password. I love 1password but I will not put my passwords in someone else's cloud. It's honestly pretty insulting that every time this comes up, someone from 1password pops in to talk down to your customers and push subscriptions. I understand the business reasons of why you want subscription revenue, but pretending that you're pushing subscriptions for the good of your customer is just so transparently false. It's good for your bottom line, just own it.

    Indeed. Stuff like this: > We would strongly recommend 1Password membership as that is going to provide the best experience is maddening. Do you guys really think we all just don't know what is going to provide the best experience? Because what will provide me the best experience is keeping it simple, not taking on an online dependency, and keep putting out standalone updates and platform ports, which I'd gladly pay for. The condescension, evasiveness and dishonesty is just sad.

      The writing is on the wall. Licenses are out and subscriptions are in. Make of it what you will. Don't get upset with the person doing their job and towing the company line.

      I'm sorry it comes off that way. We don't mean any disrespect in the slightest. Your support over all these years means the world to us and we know darn well we wouldn't be here today without awesome customers like you. <3 I left a comment just above yours that I invite you to read. I don't want to repeat it in its entirety here but suffice it to say we're excited about our hosted solution and yes we can find ourselves shouting from the rooftops about it. Kinda like newlyweds I suppose. :) ++dave; 1Password Founder

        Ok, so go back through your forums and threads like these and read all the "how do I get standalone" questions throughout the last 5-6 years and tell me honestly that the awkward non-answers are just you guys being excited about your hosted solution. It's evasive. I'd feel a lot more mutual respect if you'd drop the charade and just say "yeah, you guys aren't really our primary use case anymore and we're not really planning to support you. Sorry." Making us read between the lines while you play coy games like saying "well, it's not advertised, but it kinda works on some platforms" is insulting.
