Still, this is a trend I will have nothing to do with if at all possible. And besides subscriptions, version 7 will only sync using their back-end, which is not acceptable for me.

On one hand, password managers in browsers are becoming nearly good enough to cover for 80% of my use cases, and most of the other 20% boil down to convenience (ease of pasting, updating, etc.)

I don't like the idea of being forced to move to a subscription on my Mac and on iOS for diminishing returns in feature improvements -- and I've been using 1Password for many years now, so the need to finance new features is something that I understand but have seen little return from.

By all means ensure you can sustain revenue, but beware of inflated subscription prices.

(I've been keeping tabs on alternatives for a while now, so I will likely not upgrade to 1Password 7)
