>to forcing people to migrate to their cloud only infrastructure ... fully SaaS

A slight gentle correction. I criticize them elsewhere in this thread, but in fairness I have to point out that this isn't quite correct yet. It's still possible (though they've buried it) to buy a standalone perpetual license for the latest 1Password, run purely local vaults, or keep syncing via Dropbox, iCloud, or manually over WLAN. There isn't any hard tie to the 1Password.com service yet.

Perhaps they'll put the kibosh on that in the future. And they can be and I will criticize them for not having better local sync options, which they clearly stopped bothering with in favor of their own cloud offering. But for the time being I've still got a fully local 1Password 7 license that works the same as every previous version.

Well, until they intentionally break something like the 1password4 integration with the browser extention. And after asking why it broke they say: sorry you're out of luck but here is a shining new subscription just for you.

Now you're forced to buy the new version just for the integration that has always worked fine.
