I'm curious to see if they have finally killed off standalone.
I've been a 1Password user for years but have staunchly resisted going to their subscription model because I want my data local. It's infuriating that 1Password has steadily downplayed standalone versions to the point where it's almost impossible to find.
- bgentry 5y agoThey have, the removal of a standalone option was also part of this announcement.
- newman314 5y agoWell, crap. I guess I'm staying on the current version for as long as possible and then considering options. I will state for the record that I think this is mindblowingly stupid.
- reilly3000 5y agoIt may be a good idea to consider a new option unless they are explicitly planning on maintaining security updates for v7.
- jhawk28 5y agoIts just a matter of time before the browser plugins stop working. Otherwise, the software should continue to work.
- _moof 5y agoWait, really? This seems like a buried lede.
- CharlesW 5y ago> They have, the removal of a standalone option was also part of this announcement. Eh? They literally show the standalone app in the Tweet this submission links to.
- nnf 5y ago"standalone" as it was used in the text you quoted means "supports local vaults" (i.e., can be used without paying for a subscription). Announcement discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28145247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28145247
- CharlesW 5y agoOh! Thank you for explaining. I'm a 1Password user, but wasn't familiar with this functionality.
- rtikulit 5y agoI guess I'm done with 1Password, then. The thousandth cut broke this camel's back (or something like that).
- vmladenov 5y agoHopefully a native developer like Panic picks up the torch. iCloud Keychain is ok but it’s very limited
- decrypt 5y agoThe standalone license was killed off a while ago, I guess a month ago.
