For example, 1Password.
I’m happy to pay for a new version if my current version stops working. OS or browser update broke the app? I’ll pay for the new version.
But they are trying to force me to pay every month, therefore they remove my ability to use the app at all unless I pay for their cloud storage which I neither need nor want.
- gefhfffh 5y agoWell, they don't stop working on an improved app and new features while you don't want to update. You don't only get compatibility with X with the new version but all that as well.
- ericd 5y agoIf no one wants those improvements, why should they pay them to keep working on it? Maybe 1pass should start working on something else to sell, and move the old stuff to minimal maintenance.

- ericd 5y agoYep, and in the case of 1pw, I use Bitwarden instead.
- jtbayly 5y agoFine. They can work on the app and sell me on the benefits they’ve added.
- aceazzameen 5y agoPassword managers are an exception for me. I pay them so they can continually stay ahead with device/browser compatibility, security, and breaches.
- voisin 5y agoHonest question: Why use 1Password rather than a modern browser’s built in password management? Side note: Daring Fireball has had some discussion recently about 1Password moving to enterprise for employee password management and adopting the SaaS model in order to make this transition, alienating current client base in the process. A ballsy move!
