1Password delisting forum posts critical of their new Electron based 1Password 8
Why does 1Password always bring so much controversy in discussion forums? I’ve been a happy paying customer for 10 (!) years. I was there for the migration to a subscription model. I introduced Teams at my company eagerly when it launched. I updated to 1P8 recently without thinking about it, saw the new UI, thought “huh, neat” and moved on. Performance is fine. I barely noticed the change.<p>I am a professional, and don’t mind paying their very reasonable subscription so they can continue to actively maintain the security and functionality of the software that literally protects my entire digital identity. I’m baffled by how many people in our industry are upset by their business model. If you’re making six figures writing software and think $3&#x2F;month for a cornerstone of your security suite is offensive, you need to grow the fuck up, frankly.<p>Likewise, I don’t care how they moderate their forums.<p>The comments in these threads always feel so self entitled. Use another piece of software if those things are important to you. Plenty of us understand and appreciate the value these guys are creating for us. For me, nothing compares. I’ve tried Keepass, Bitwarden, Apple’s built-in thing, Enpass; they are all either amateurish or missing key functionality that 1Password has that I use every day. All the same, I’m happy they exist. Some day I may need them. I hope more pop up.<p>Anyways, if you’re a dev or employee at 1P I’m writing this for you. Sorry about the jerks. Plenty of us out here love what you are doing.
