To give 1Password some credit, they haven't broken the standalone licenses yet. Every time the iOS app updates, I suffer from an anxiety attack that sync via dropbox might break.

Unsure about a reasonable alternative.

I have some bad news for you. They are not updating their browser integrations for <= v7 and the newer ones will not work with local vaults. De facto, they are already deprecating standalone licenses/local vaults.

I'm stuck on macOS 10.15 for various reasons and so far 1password 6.x hasn't broken.

Taking your warning as a catalyst to find an alternative.

If you don't need shared vaults, Secrets [0] is excellent and feels a lot like the last good version of 1Password before they started down their current path of destroying both their product and their reputation.

This is what I use on the Mac (full disclosure: I know the developer on a personal basis, since we worked together in the past). Only shortcoming for me is the lack of Apple Watch support for a few key things like TOTP and keeping some credit card PINs always on me.

Can it sync via Wifi?

Nice to see my sincere recommendation of an excellent product from an indie dev get downvoted. This is why people can't be bothered being nice on HN.

They forget that at one time 1Password was an obscure indie dev too. I discovered it via a similar recommendation on reddit or slashdot.

Will check it out, many thanks.

This looks great, thanks!

Thanks!

Just downloaded the trial version and it looks very promising.

The ios app has family sharing enabled which is a big plus.

And the support is reminiscent of 1Password in their indie days.
