Sorry I didn’t see it. A quick search for “1Password” didn’t reveal it as the previous post misspelled it.

Ouch. Fixed now. Thanks!

Their responses are unbelievable. OP had to ask the same question repeatedly only to get the same smug non-answers that ignored all of the most important points. The 1P team didn’t own up to or even acknowledge any mistakes.

I manage 3 paid accounts. Might not be much to them, but this event—the way they handled it more than the incident itself—was enough at least to get me to discontinue my subscriptions. Could not be more disappointed in how they handled this.

Edit: can anyone recommend a good open source manager with browser extensions?

I use Keepass[1] with the Kee[2] extension on Firefox and on Android I use Keepass2Android[3]. All 3 are free and opensource.

For synchronizing the kdbx file I use Dropbox.

For iOS MiniKeePass works well. Simple, no nonsense and registers itself as an application that can handle kdbx files.

You can also try Bitwarden. It has a hosted solution with a free tier (that's probably adequate) and paid tiers. Or you can also self-host it with a fork like bitwarden-rs. There are apps and extensions for different platforms and browsers, respectively.

It looks like he’s complaining about a feature not available for free. If it is that valuable, pay for it.

I think the OP can’/don’t want to use cloud based accounts on some devices. Since the change, on iOS 1P can only create new vault when signed in with a paid 1P account.

User has already paid. The feature they had been using was removed.

It was implied by the response that he was using a free option.

I'm sorry for the trouble. 1Password no longer offers a free-to-use option on iOS. It can either be used with a 1Password membership account or it can be synced to a standalone vault created by 1Password for Mac or 1Password for Windows. It wouldn't be possible to create a new standalone vault from 1Password for iOS. Standalone vaults still work, but must be created by a licensed product (1Password for Mac or 1Password for Windows).
