You can still view your passwords after your membership is cancelled.
>Looks like it's time to consider alternatives?
I've switched to Bitwarden and haven't looked back. It's not as 'shiny' as 1Password but they seem like a great company and everything works for me so far (using iOS, android, macOS, Ubuntu, and Firefox).
You can now. But for how long? How long it would be until you need to reimage your computer or install it on other platform and new version would demand membership?
The problem here is not that it won't work right now. It's that once this mode is not supported, even if it still works you're on your own. Like using out-of-support software version - maybe it works now, but you better to have a migration plan, or one day in the future you'd be in a big trouble with nobody to help you. And passwords to every site you have login on is not exactly the type of information you want to take risks with. You need to trust the provider they have your back here, and if they are not interested in supporting users that paid their licenses but are not providing recurrent revenue, then you better have plan B.
