This seems to be some kind of AppStore error. This page [1] is already gone ( so I'm posting cached version ), but if you check out the comments they suggest that something bad happened and this is really an accident.

  I doubt it's accidental then.

    Android version has always been free with in-app purchases. On their webiste [1] it is stated : "Freemium pricing Free to try, easy to upgrade! Details on the Agile Blog" [1] https://agilebits.com/onepassword/android https://agilebits.com/onepassword/android

      Has it always been this way? I remember downloading it a while ago and only a few days ago I got the first popup stating that I can only edit entries on my phone when paying for the pro version.

I've just checked and I can confirm it works. I wouldn't normally keep this, but AgileBits screwed me over last year on 1Password for iPad. I had paid ~€15 for the app so I could have my passwords synced using Dropbox. All was working fine, then they told users that because Dropbox were changing their API, they were 'forced' to build a brand new app that had the new Dropbox API support and SUNSETTING the old app. Dirty and underhand in my opinion so I'm going to take advantage of this with a clear conscience.

  What do you mean by "I would normally keep this,..."

    I guess I mean that if another company had accidentally given away their product because of a mistake I'd feel bad about keeping it. In this specific case; in that I feel cheated by AgileBits historical actions, I don't feel bad at all.

I would love to use 1Password if only they supported Linux. I thought of them as paid KeePass. Unfortunately, LastPass beat them to it, and so I choose the convenience of omnipresence of my passwords over the security of keeping everything local. I cannot have my password not follow me somewhere, especially if these password programs suggest complicated passwords to me.

It's showing as "Free, with in-app purchases" for me: http://cl.ly/image/3U202T0g0X1k http://cl.ly/image/3U202T0g0X1k I wouldn't be surprised if they accidentally switched the app to free before uploading a new version and we'll soon see a re-release of 1Password with a freemium model like on Android.
