I wonder if it's so much better than for example Bitwarden for families, which is $1/month. (https://bitwarden.com )

Also, the switch to the "1password cloud", instead of the already freely available iCloud/Google Cloud/Dropbox etc, just seems like a move to make people believe their expensive subscription are justified. There was absolutely no demand for a "1password cloud".

This entire push to subscription-hell makes me sick...

(i've had 1Password paid versions, OSX & iOS, for like 7 years btw.)



If you look at 1Password features, a lot of them are simply not feasible to implement without having a server-side component. Most of them revolve around sharing, permissions, automatic backups, account recovery, 2FA, etc.

Vault sharing is simply impossible with iCloud. Sharing with Dropbox requires manual set up of shared folders.


If you don't have a server-side component, you already have 2FA - your password and your non-syncing device.


This is a very good point that most people fail to understand. We get frequent demands to add 2FA to standalone vaults... the best we can do is try to explain.

There was plenty of demand for a "1password cloud" as you call it. It's one of my favorite features.

I like that I don't need a Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, etc. subscription for 1Password to work. It's convenient.


I'd give them the $5 a month for a subscription but I want to host the data on iCloud.


You can do that. It is possible to have a subscription and also host a vault on iCloud.

If you only want to use iCloud then you might be served better with a license.
