But how can you justify removing the ability to have a local vault?

Why would anyone think for a second that it would be a good idea to force people to store every password for everything in their life in your cloud without an opt out?

That, even more than Electron and the subscription model (both which do bother me), is an absolutely deal breaker. I've paid for every version of 1Password since v3 in 2009, but I'm done with it now.

The original article goes into great detail as to why we're moving away from local vaults.

That being said, we are looking into gauging user interest in self-hosting. Please take a look at our survey [1] if you want to share your thoughts. Hope that helps!

I don't want self-hosted, and I definitely don't want subscription based. I, 1Password user for many years, want the local vaults!

1Password 6 is great, and I'll keep using it until it quits working on my devices, but no more after that! I used to recommend 1Password so much to people it was borderline evangelizing, but I quit recommending it once the subscription was pushed over the other options, and now that local vaults are going away I'm actively recommending against it to anyone that asks.

Guess I'll be moving to Bitwarden or Keepass myself; time to research!

Word for word my response as well. I've never had a product go from beloved to this before.

May just want to stop before you step in things further. You’re honestly just making things worse.

You're taking a survey about not removing a feature you already have? Why not just keep it?
