VERGE2019

New customers only.
US $1.50/month when billed annually (~AU $2.19/month).

Have used them for years but refused to upgrade to 1Password 7 due to how aggressively they push the subscription model (which is IMO overpriced @ ~AU $52/year). On the other hand, using a password manager is pretty much mandatory these days and 1Password is arguably the most pleasant to use out of all of them.

Some alternatives:
* BitWarden (cheapest PRO sub, can optionally self-host)
* Last Pass
* Dashlane (currently 20% off premium)

    They still have the non sub option in app

      Yes, but sadly it never goes on sale like all previous versions, and is deliberately hidden so people default to purchasing the sub :(

        And unless they've changed it, it's an OLD version of the Windows app.

        Transitioned to Bitwarden (free, but I paid the $US10/yr for it) after they really started pushing the sub setup and WAY happier. Supports browsers, Windows and macOS, can't fault it so far.

        Give this one a miss.

          It's not that old, I think you are referring to 1Password 4 (which was the old one).

          Recently (maybe about a year ago) they started offering a standalone 1Password (version 7). Once off purchase and you get to use 1Password 7 on Windows (if you want Mac, I believe you have to purchase another licence for the same price).

          I believe they released a standalone version after so long is because so many people loved the 1Password 4 (standalone) version. I think everyone got a bit more vocal when the Chrome browser extension stopped working with 1Password 4 standalone. But now it's all good.

        It went on sale for about 4 months after they launched v7 last year.

        I paid US$49.99 in July last year.

    This is not a deal! Usually you can get 1 year free family plan! Why you pay half price for it?

  • OzzyBrak on 30/11/2019 - 16:45

    I'm still trying to track down instructions on how to switch back to the standard vault in your own storage option, once you take up one of these subscription deals.

    • darthsparrow on 30/11/2019 - 18:27

      Good luck with that. They've been trying to bury the one-off purchase, likewise they'll bury the instructions so that you stay on the subscription plan.

    • SickDmith on 30/11/2019 - 19:09

      They won't help you with this.

    • khell on 01/12/2019 - 14:32

      It's actually pretty easy, but the latest 1Password versions are all designed to hide the standalone feature as much as possible. You can find the instructions for Dropbox here: https://support.1password.com/sync-with-dropbox/ With some platforms (e.g. Android) you need to completely reset the app to get the Dropbox vault in.

      Once you have the vault synced, add your 1Password account as well, then select all your items, right-click, 'Share' option, find your standalone vault and select 'Move'.

      Heads up that the Android and Windows apps are (perhaps deliberately) extremely bad at handling the old standalone format, and will lag pretty badly when they're syncing and processing updates if you have a lot of items (I had 4000+).

    Recently they took $200m from investors.
    That might explain their rush for new subscribers - trying to look better than they are in front of investors.

    The way they push subscription is really irritating. I would give them a miss just for that alone.

      I saw that in the news and thought whilst I’m a long time user of various standalone versions of 1Password (including v7!) and not a fan of their subscription cloud offering, I didn’t see the business having such an amazing product to meet that valuation.

      Don’t get me wrong it’s a good password manager but the reality is there’s quite a bit of both paid and free competition, not to mention the real threat of the core proposition being absorbed and built into the browser making it nearly redundant. Sure there are some great features and the support from Agilebits is excellent, I didn’t see there being there much growth from just the core product offering. Maybe there’s more new stuff around the corner which excited the investors. Or maybe they’ll just milk existing users somehow… time will tell.

        They've always been milking their users. I've used 1Password since 2009, and I had to pay separately for multiple "major" version upgrades across Mac, iOS, Windows and Android, while their Windows offering has always been subjectively subpar in both UI design and performance. If I could stomach the UX of other password managers, I'd have left a long time ago, but in spite of the terrible Windows experience it still remains the best I've used and I've been willing to pay their excessive premiums. Maybe someday this will change.

        I switched to a subscription now, which finally fixed the performance on the Windows app that had gotten slower and slower as my standalone vaults swelled to over 4000 items. Even having to separately purchase 1Password licenses repeatedly over the last 10 years I don't think this subscription will be any cheaper, but the subscription features do beat the old UX of syncing to Dropbox, enable 1Password X (which is the BEST password-filling solution for the browser I've ever used) and the website is leagues ahead of 1Password Anywhere.

    • YeboMate on 02/12/2019 - 23:28

      I agree that they hide the standalone version, but I can only imagine that a standalone app wouldn't allow them to continue in the long run? I'm not sure, but seeing how there are not a lot of options for password managers with once-off payments (standalones) I'm guessing it's not a sustainable business model?

      The only other decent password manager that offers standalone/once-off payment is StickyPassword. But their Windows app is terrible… if you've ever used 1Password, StickyPassword's app is just clunky. I feel like the app is just a shell that connects to the web (as StickyPassword offers their own cloud-sync, even with their once-off/lifetime payment option).
