I reluctantly upgraded to the subscription for 1Pass after the last OS update but I'm glad I did. The features that the 1Pass team has added since then as well as the fact that the subscription includes apps for all their platforms has already paid itself off in my eyes.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm not planning to ever move to a subscription model for storing my passwords.

As long as you're comfortable self-hosting and admining, that shouldn't be a problem.

It's funny because this really shouldn't be required (and isn't with 1Password standalone). But yes, I will eventually move over to BitWarden.

Yes, but 1Password standalone is missing many of the features of the subscription service that would be impossible to implement without it.

That’s fair, but many people (myself included) don’t need those.

What features are those?

I was forced off standalone when they broke using dropbox as a sync backend, but it's really just a fancy keychain at this point ...

You scared me! Dropbox sync is still working for me in 1P7 for me. When did it break for you? (I'm using the latest macOS and iOS.)

I can't recall the exact details, but something didn't work anymore and all the things said "upgrade to 8" and it wasn't until after I got to 8 that I realized there were ways to keep 7 and keep it working.

Honestly, the feeling that I got "forced" into 8 is what makes me mostly dislike the company, and will eventually bounce me out once I get the motivation.
