They used to be the app I would point to for awesome design principals for iOS and Mac. The V8 release has made the UI more cumbersome and it feels like a half baked release.
The one bright spot is they have improved their windows version quite a bit and I admit the team based manager is useful, if expensive.
It’s frustrating enough for me, but for my wife whom I’m trying desperately to onboard into the world of password management, this is an impossibly impassible scenario. She basically has to reset her bank password all the time to log in. Which makes standard human interactions like “did you receive that deposit yet” excruciating.
And then on the 1Password forums, all the employees are these self-righteous pricks that summarily dismiss their users as being uncooperative, when the reality is, they removed working functionality and replaced it with garbage that just doesn’t work.
For me, it's the password generator, easy tagging/search, and the autocomplete in form inputs. I also like the multiple content types (sw licenses, passwords, random other info, credit cards, etc.). I don't need really anything else.
Not sure I get what you mean?
Sad thing is, I still haven't found anything better. As far as 1Password has fallen, it's still better than the competition I've tried (including Bitwarden) by a country mile.
Seriously. I like getting authorization for the SSH keys that I have permitted. I haven’t yet modified the agent config which can from the Agent perspective prevent the presentation of unrelated SSH keys for given servers.

I still hate the 1Password 8 UI and reject all of Dave Teare’s apologia for the UI garbage (if they either added multi-window or multi-tab support, then ~80% of my complaints would go away; if they eliminated the stupid Electron defaults for ⌘0 [mainly], ⌘-, and ⌘+ because resizing on the fly is something I never want to do with a password manager another ~10% of my complaints would go away; the rest won’t go away until they remember that Electron pseudo-modals are complete garbage and they need to DIAF).
I mostly interact with 1Password via the CLI and the browser extensions, since most of my passwords are already where they should be as I’ve been using 1Password since ~2006 (when it was 1Passwd and they were writing on the Switcher’s Blog).
However, I feel good knowing my private key can't be exfiltrated from my laptop, which is a guarantee that 1Password can't make at all.
I wish someone from the 1Password team would push to keep 1Password 7 in maintenance mode, without a subscription model. Just keep it working - I'd be happy to pay to keep it alive and kicking.
I'm in no way affiliated with these folks btw, but I am curious to hear if anyone has used it.
I find the Fastmail / 1Password masked email integration to be janky, and wish that 1Password could find a way to integrate with Apple’s iCloud email masking, but no such luck.
The lack of a desktop app is also not ideal. I use the 1Password app a fair amount.
One of the reasons I still use 1PW7 is that it's a native app. The move to Electron is a major culprit of the downgrade in quality 8 has seen. Unfortunately, the majority of its competitors are also Electron garbage.
The existence of 1st party platform and browser options and freemium competition are great from the perspective of having password managers available to the masses, but make a new product entry very difficult from the "profitable business" perspective.
I think the turning point was when someone leaked the corporate license and acquisition deal talks with Apple was underway.
1password shouldn’t have raised money. $622M+ now?
It would be great if Apple simply built out keychain access to support more data types and family sharing.

... and a Linux version, and a Windows version, and a Chrome extension, then another one for Firefox, maybe Edge, oh and certainly an Android app.
Sharing is coming to iOS 17, which is a bit surprising due to the general push-back on scope creep. I don't think additional data types are impossible, but the structure of Keychain and general philosophy both mean those are more likely to be spread out through the system (secure notes via notes app, credit card info via safari form fill and wallet, and so on).
