After 1Password moved to subscription only, I’m never recommending them to anyone. How does it make sense to surrender your authentication credentials to a subs

  > How does it make sense to surrender your authentication credentials to a subscription service? You're paying for cloud sync. 1Password don't get your credentials, they're encrypted client-side, and 1Password doesn't see your master password. If you don't want to pay for the service, that's fine, there are plenty of local-only alternatives for which you can presumably build your own syncing solution, but it's disingenuous to say that it doesn't "make sense" when you misrepresent a product which a lot of people obviously feel is worth the price - including me.

    Looking at the site, I may have worded my reply too strongly since you can still export your passwords even if your subscription ends. But nonetheless, 1Password used to make a great product where I could choose to sync my password to any cloud service of my choice without subscription. They discontinued their standalone product because they knew they could make a lot more money by selling subscriptions. That’s their prerogative, but it’s also mine to point potential customers to Bitwarden, which can be used free of charge, can be self-hosted, and is open source.
