The process is increasingly convoluted to figure out. I'm still clinging on to their 1Password 6 license and it's now broken in Safari on Catalina. Life goes on.
it's also broken on all Windows, and for Chrome on Mac. I also have my 1Password 6 license using Dropbox to sync and I just cut and paste my passwords now. I don't want to pay subscription since I paid $80 already for something that doesn't substantially change.
I use v6 on Mac/Chrome and it works as expected. When did it stop working for you? And have you found a work around? I'm dreading the day this stops working. I'll probably bail on this company if they prevent me from using software that I have paid for unless I upgrade.
You can't expect them to keep updating old versions to work with new operating systems. I agree they should not turn off old versions, but thats not whats happening.
I use 1Password 7 and only use a local vault (synced across devices with Resilio Sync). There is no reason you have to pay for a subscription if you don't want to.
I pay for 1Password subscription, but I set my mother up for the free version using Dropbox sync. Super simple and probably what 99% of people need anyway (1 vault).
Does 1Password 7 actually support buying a license instead of a cloud subscription? You mentioned a "free version" using local Dropbox sync –that was definitely not free in 1Password 6 as that's what I'm doing right now. What has changed?
The main thing that's changed is only having 1 vault, but there are probably some other features that my mom wouldn't care for anyway. But yes, in 1Password 7 (or whenever they went with the subscription model) you can now use it for free if you still go with Dropbox sync.
Hmm are you sure? I just installed 1Password 7 for Mac, and it has replaced the 1Password 6 (which I had a license for).
It has detected Dropbox sync out-of-the-box and kept working with existing settings. But it won't refill passwords, unless I either subscribe or buy a license (a pop-up forces me to do so). I'm curious why you're not seeing the same behavior.
