FYI, 1Password doesn’t force you to use their cloud service. Even if you subscribe (as opposed to standalone), you still don’t have to actually use it. I switched from an older standalone version to the current subscription version, but I’m not using their cloud service to sync my vault.

Can you point me to some documentation that describes how to get rid of the subscription cloud service? I just want a one time fee to purchase 1P and then I want to just iCloud sync my 1P vaults.
