does anyone know definitively which is the last 1password version that doesn't require cloud? some folks are saying it's v6 but i have 7.8.7, and everything seems to be working fine, as far as i can tell. i still use local vaults and dropbox syncing to my ios devices without issue.

The last time they offered stand-alone licenses was 1Password 7 in 2018. Not that long ago. But they seem to have made it harder and harder to get at the local vault settings. Version 8 will only be subscription based.

  so ixnay to version 8 then. are you for sure that there's no version 7 point upgrade that's broken like that? my original license was 1password 3 (teams edition or something like that?) i believe, which i'd been upgrading all along. too bad they'll lose all this recurring revenue, even if it's not strictly as uniform and regular as subscriptions.

    No I’m not. But version 7.8.7 is not that old. Previously it was one license per user per platform. I’ve bought 1Password at least 3 times and pointed them to the same vault. Can’t remember if they had paid upgrades. If you are not inclined to host your own server, it really doesn’t seem clear to me to migrate away. Only the single and 2 user free licence and the single premium license for bitwarden is a clear winner. For families it’s not much cheaper. I’m not even opposed to paying. I’ve bought 1P a few times. And I’d pay for another service. I think it’s the fact that they are forcing the choice that gives me a bag taste in my mouth. But this is irrational if my 2nd choice is to pay bitwarden a similar amount of money for a family subscription.

Definitively: v7 works with stand-alone / non agilebits-synced databases; v8 will not. (I think v8 is out for Windows but not yet Mac.) I am a long-time 1Password user who recently made the leap to their hosted service. 1Password remains best-in-class for me and has a terrific security record, especially compared to their peers. While I too lament the everything-is-a-subscription-now trend, I remain a strong supporter and avid fan of 1Password. The latest integrations offered, for browsers and for e.g. Fastmail masked email address generation [1], only work with the cloud offering. I am happy to report that these latest offerings are fantastic and have tremendous UX. [1]: https://www.fastmail.com/1password/ https://www.fastmail.com/1password/

  I would bet their Privacy.com integration is also v8/cloud only: https://blog.1password.com/privacy-virtual-cards/ https://blog.1password.com/privacy-virtual-cards/

    It's not v8 at least, I use it on 7 just fine (though I do use the cloud offering). I don't see why it would be tied to that though considering it's just an API integration that saves the card into your 1password for the site you're on and then fills in the credentials. That _should_ theoretically work with a local vault as well on v7.
    - mdaniel 5y ago
      That same logic holds for the fastmail vanity email aliases, too, in that it's just an API integration; does your v7+cloud have that integration, too?

        It does! I was actually considering switching to BitWarden right when the Fastmail integration came out and that's what kept me with 1Password.
