I've been a paying subscriber to 1Password for over two years now and had the standalone version for years before that, and the way they responded in that thread really rubbed me the wrong way. Enough that maybe I'm going to start looking for other options. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood?
The OP just wanted to know if the feature was gone, and if so when did it get removed (maybe to find an archived version of the app?), and lastly why it wasn't clearly communicated, but you can just smell the smug in the responses. It's hard for me to read their little "cute" emoji as anything but sarcastic, which is reinforced by one of the developers chiming in about how they must be asking to "make their mobile apps free" and the other guy talking about how with so many users anything they do will of course be found out.
I'm on the Catalina beta and the Safari Extension for 1Password 6 doesn't work (Apple only allows extensions from the App Store starting with Safari 13 - so it's not really AgileBits fault).
I chose to migrate to storing everything in iCloud Keychain instead. I understand why companies want to move to the subscription model, but I can't justify spending $36/year for an app to store my passwords.
The problem with iCloud keychain for me is that I don't only use Apple devices, otherwise it might do the trick (except for TOTP 2FA stuff).
I'm trying Bitwarden now and it seems to be ok. Maybe it's time for a change.
As a user that made the switch to bitwarden the last time 1Password tried their shift to the membership-only options some 1-2 years ago, it is an excellent replacement. I do miss some better search / sorting functionality, but otherwise this works great with a local server that I maintain for keeping my Mac, Ubuntu, Windows and Android devices in sync.
Bitwarden costs only what is it 10 or 12 USD a year. LastPass costs 24 USD, and 1Password 36 USD. If you need 2FA. If you don't need 2FA then it doesn't cost as much, but I think you still have a device limit.
Bitwarden's clients are FOSS. There's a 3rd party FOSS server for it available written in Ruby. So you could even self-host.
[EDIT: there's one written in Rust as well! [1] [2]]
