1Password to Add Telemetry
My history with 1Password:<p>- Purchase a stand-alone license, getting well-performing and feature-complete native clients with several options for vault sync that are under my control.<p>- Upgrade to 1Password 8, a version that sounds great, but has quietly removed local sync unless you checked forum and blog posts before buying.<p>- Watch the clients go from being native to Electron and losing many, many features. Get forced into using the web app for simple things like seeing history.<p>- Watch browser integrations get progressively worse (check out the reviews on the Firefox extension, oh boy)<p>- Even if you&#x27;ve been using 1password 7 (the version you paid a good chunk of change on for, in 1Password&#x27;s own words, a life-time license), you won&#x27;t be able to use it with browsers at all soon <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.1password.com&#x2F;kb&#x2F;202303&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.1password.com&#x2F;kb&#x2F;202303&#x2F;</a>.<p>- Get popups and unwanted opt-out integration with social media logins, when I&#x27;ve gone out of my way to purge garbage like &quot;login with google&quot; from my internet experience.<p>- Get unwanted opt-out telemetry forced on you, which regardless of their assurance will eventually leak PII like it always does. People make mistakes, c&#x27;est la vie. I would have no issue with opt-in telemetry.<p>I think this is it for me. Forced telemetry is a small thing, but it&#x27;s just one of many poor decisions. I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;s a smart business decision and their investors will be happy finding more and more ways to extract value out of users. I just want a simple password manager, so after a decade this is it for my family and myself.
