I can certainly understand and appreciate your point of view. You are free to disagree with mine and I am sorry that it might come off the condescending, it is certainly not what any of us want to convey.

However, we are also 1Password users and we build the product for ourselves. We are supporting millions of customers, several thousand support emails and tickets every day. And I am honest, the membership provides much better experience compared to standalone disjoined apps, manual syncing and lack of account recovery. The list of differences and improvements is huge. It certainly makes me sad when people think that it is only about sync.
