1Password: Standalone / Local Vault Option Gone?
I&#x27;ll go against the grain and defend this. I really, really love 1Password - it&#x27;s UI is incredible and it works so well - it follows the &quot;don&#x27;t make me think&quot; philosophy which I really appreciate and makes me feel respected. It feels like a default piece of Apple software in how well it integrates with OS X and iOS. The desktop PDF QR scanner is something I didn&#x27;t even know was possible to do with software, it blows my mind every time I use it. 1Password X is perfect for Linux and a great solution to the distro fragmentation problem.<p>So I don&#x27;t know more about password management than Agilebits. They have a long history of really good ideas for their software. If they want me to use their cloud instead of local vault, that&#x27;s probably a good idea. I&#x27;m more than happy to pay the $2-3 per month to have access to this, and knowing they have recurring revenue gives me confidence that they&#x27;ll be around for a while.
