My family pricing went up by 20%, from $59.88 USD to $71.88 per year.

I like 1Password a lot. I've used it for 10 years. It's never lost a single thing, and I don't recall any downtime that impacted me. It's easy to setup and 99% hassle free. Works on my various device types (windows, mac, ios). It supports passkeys and 2FA codes. I like having shared and private vaults. I love the ability to share an auto-expiring, one-time-view link to a password. And the billing is a simple subscription fee.

I could do without some bloat. Watchtower feels like an enterprise need that is otherwise low-value and (by default) noisy for individuals/families. I obviously don't need "AI" forced into my password manager. I didn't love the version 7 to 8 transition that required a new app/extension to be installed. But all of that is really not so bad.

So yeah, I don't feel like I'm getting any additional value that justifies the price increase, but it's still more than worth it for me.

You mean they didn't increase prices in 10 years? A 2016 dollar is not the same thing as a 2026 dollar

Oh true. Considering inflation, $60 in 2016 is about $80 in 2026 so really the price has gone down in real terms.

(Not actually sure about the price history of the family plan or when family was introduced. I was originally on the individual plan and it was $35 then, and switched to the family plan in 2022. I don’t think prices have changed though)

1Password 8 looks like it was released around 2022. 1Password 7, which seemed to get support until sometime in 2023 supported local vaults and syncing yourself (via Dropbox or whatever).

So it’s really only been about 3 years since people were forced to get accounts with subscriptions, and now it’s going up 33%.

I still have the zip archive of 1Password 7 in my applications folder that the v8 upgrade created. It hasn’t been very long.

From my vault, I can see I got 1Password 7 in 2018. Using 2016 as the price anchor seems generous when subscriptions weren’t required in 2016.

> A 2016 dollar is not the same thing as a 2026 dollar

Indeed, in part because companies keep raising prices
