In fact, standalone storage is exactly why I chose 1Password over LastPass in the first place.Īnd no, self-hosting a cloud instance is not an option.

I haven't been paying for multiple subscriptions just so you could remove functionality my employer and I actually need. I strongly encourage you to reconsider your decision here, as BitWarden, while not as nice to use, gets the core value prop right, and is not hard to pitch on a cost savings basis. Standalone vaults are non-negotiable, both in our business and for my personal uses. I also have a family subscription plan as well for personal. I was the driving force for getting 1Password standardized at our company and am the account admin. Also, being not maintained any longer, the older version will finally be broken by changes to operating systems or alike.Ĭhalk up another. "You can still use 1PW 7" is a really odd answer as using an unsupported version for a sensible task for a longer time is not really an option. I really like to trust, but removing these options makes me really suspicious about the reasons behind it. A simple change to the app - completely unnoticed by the user - would be enough to expose it, intentionally or by error. How can we be sure now and in future, that AgileBits or any hacker will never get their hands on the encryption key? Finally, it is known by the app. The term E2E-encryption was abused so often (compare WhatsApp: the "end" was the client app and not the user, giving FB lots of possibilities when they changed their policy.).

Now, we lost some of the options people used since the early days and need to re-assess architecture and security considerations. Having multiple technical/architectural options is crucial to fulfill these in a certain environment. This service is about trust and security policies one has to follow.
