fuck these guys. seriously.

I've been using this product since 3.x. I chose it because I could use a wide variety of syncing solutions. It did what it said on the tin. Gave me a place to store my passwords that was secure.

I was a happy user buying upgrades whenever they came out until 7.x where it took me over an hour to figure out how to buy the non-subscription/cloud version and instead find the link for the standalone version.

I paid for versions that I honestly didn't have any features I cared about simply because it kept doing what I wanted it to do.

Gone are the days when you can buy a hammer, and use it to hammer just as many nails as you like until it breaks. Now we have to rent a goddamned hammer apparently. Even that wouldn't be so bad if I could still keep my passwords out of their cloud provider.

They've fucked up, they don't think they have.

So what are the options for someone who just wants a simple place to store a bunch of passwords encrypted in a secure way. With decent clients for ios/mac/windows/linux that lets me be the only person who has their hads on those encrypted bits?



I hear good things about Bitwarden.

I spent an hour setting it up, the export worked well from 1P but you get to the very end to find out that "features" like a functioning F2A code generator or image storage are premium features that require, guess what, a subscription.

Damn it. It's only $10 a year but i'd rather buy it outright the way 1P allowed me to in the past.


I like to keep my 2-factor generator separate. There are already a lot of keys in my 1password kingdom. Good to keep some things in a different safe.


If only there was a separate 2fa generator with a browser plugin to autofill, that's really the killer feature.
