My history with 1Password:

- Purchase a stand-alone license, getting well-performing and feature-complete native clients with several options for vault sync that are under my control.

- Upgrade to 1Password 8, a version that sounds great, but has quietly removed local sync unless you checked forum and blog posts before buying.

- Watch the clients go from being native to Electron and losing many, many features. Get forced into using the web app for simple things like seeing history.

- Watch browser integrations get progressively worse (check out the reviews on the Firefox extension, oh boy)

- Even if you've been using 1password 7 (the version you paid a good chunk of change on for, in 1Password's own words, a life-time license), you won't be able to use it with browsers at all soon https://support.1password.com/kb/202303/.

- Get popups and unwanted opt-out integration with social media logins, when I've gone out of my way to purge garbage like "login with google" from my internet experience.

- Get unwanted opt-out telemetry forced on you, which regardless of their assurance will eventually leak PII like it always does. People make mistakes, c'est la vie. I would have no issue with opt-in telemetry.

I think this is it for me. Forced telemetry is a small thing, but it's just one of many poor decisions. I'm sure it's a smart business decision and their investors will be happy finding more and more ways to extract value out of users. I just want a simple password manager, so after a decade this is it for my family and myself.
