I'm curious to see if they have finally killed off standalone.

I've been a 1Password user for years but have staunchly resisted going to their subscription model because I want my data local. It's infuriating that 1Password has steadily downplayed standalone versions to the point where it's almost impossible to find.

They have, the removal of a standalone option was also part of this announcement.

Well, crap.

I guess I'm staying on the current version for as long as possible and then considering options.

I will state for the record that I think this is mindblowingly stupid.

It may be a good idea to consider a new option unless they are explicitly planning on maintaining security updates for v7.

Its just a matter of time before the browser plugins stop working. Otherwise, the software should continue to work.

Wait, really? This seems like a buried lede.

Eh? They literally show the standalone app in the Tweet this submission links to.

"standalone" as it was used in the text you quoted means "supports local vaults" (i.e., can be used without paying for a subscription). Announcement discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28145247

Oh! Thank you for explaining. I'm a 1Password user, but wasn't familiar with this functionality.

I guess I'm done with 1Password, then. The thousandth cut broke this camel's back (or something like that).

Hopefully a native developer like Panic picks up the torch. iCloud Keychain is ok but it’s very limited

The standalone license was killed off a while ago, I guess a month ago.
