> 1Password is a closed-source, cloud-hosted service. At any time, for any reason, they can close and delete your account

They used to offer their apps offline and you could "host" it anywhere. Venture Capital ruined them.

Having the passwords in the cloud is useful though. Before, if you wanted to use your vault across multiple machines, you had to store your vault in someone else’s cloud. This simplifies the process.
Incorrect. 1P orginally offer direct LAN syncing among machines.
And you could just open the in-backup html file to decrypt and read your stuff in emergencies.

1Password has fallen hard from their earlier excellence.

And dropbox etc. based
