This looks awesome and I wish I could use it. Could you guys also consider bringing back the completely-offline mode that doesn't make my password manager depend on a 3rd party service? I'm prohibited by company policy from using my favorite password manager because of this.

You mean the licensed version? It never went away.

When you launch you'll be prompted to purchase. On the screens near the bottom there is a line of text about purchasing a license, go that route instead of signing up for the 1Password.com service.

Interesting. If this is the case, I think you have a communications problem. I was under the impression that after 6.0, the only way to get a license was to have your older one grandfathered. I can't find any information about this on your website. All of the options on your product info pages other than "enterprise (email us for a quote)" show monthly subscriptions only.

Where can I see product info about the licensed version? Can you provide a link?

This was so difficult to figure out, and responses from AgileBits support so disingenuous, that I wrote up how to do this on iOS: https://www.davidschlachter.com/misc/1password-ios-standalon...

"Disingenuous" is really how it feels to me too, unfortunately. Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about them being committed to supporting it. But I have to admit, the clear answer from Kyle in this very thread gives me hope. I will definitely be upgrading my 6.0 license to 8.0. AgileBits: please keep the licensed version forever, and try not to make it seem like such a step-child. :D

I agree their website is somewhat confusing, it nudges quite strongly towards purchasing a 1Password subscription. However these pages[1,2] makes quite clear that you can purchase a standalone license even if you're not upgrading:

> Or, to purchase a standalone license, click “Need a license? We have those too.” After purchasing your license, add it to 1Password.

Aha. I'd advise them to make this clear from the "new user" perspective, rather than just the "upgrade" path, because when I started this job, I set out to purchase a brand new license and was given the impression that it wasn't available anymore.

Edit: I've literally had this belief for years, and I absolutely love their product. I'm the classic case of the user that's already decided to purchase and all they need to do is take my money, but I gave up. Searching produced a forum post where there was a litany of users who were thoroughly confused about the availability of the licensed version, as well. We are clearly not alone.

I second this. I actually switched my entire household over to keypass because I was under the impression that I was forced to use the 1password cloud service.

Even if you pay for it as a subscription, you can still create standalone vaults that don't use the cloud sync. I find the cloud service useful for my personal stuff (for sharing purposes) but I keep client info in separate local vaults.
