I can't find any web accessible news release or the like on 1Password.com, articles, or even blogs discussing this yet, but our teams have stuck with 1P7 and I just received an email indicating that the final EOL for that is coming up. Thought a few others might be interested, seems to be a staggered message rollout (I haven't gotten the email yet on all my admin accounts). It has been quite a journey, looking back through my emails I first discovered and bought it back in late 2007 around build 2.5.7. Hard to believe it's been almost 20 years, even early on it was a real upgrade over manually doing stuff via Keychain, and AgileBits had a really great vibe. Even the emails that were certainly pretty marketing feel a bit nostalgic, and the old release notes, stuff moved quick. They used to just randomly turn up sometimes in various Mac forums directly to answer questions and talk ideas. Was honestly impressive when a dev showed up in the Mac Ach on Ars and corrected and PR person and acknowledged that yes they needed (and had in progress) to update their storage format to encrypt more metadata details.

Anyway, onward to their brave new world I guess, or in my case motivation to finally get serious about Vaultwarden. But I appreciate what they did on the side of light first.
