1Password is a paid product, and prior to today 1Password for iOS was the only 1Password app on any platform that could be used entirely for free.
#Reinstall 1password 7 password#
Prior to this change 1Password would frequently appear on the list of the “best free password managers” and while that’s flattering, it’s not where we want to be. For better or worse, a good chunk of the answer comes down to how we want 1Password viewed as a product among the field of other password managers. I also want to touch briefly on why this feature was removed. And really, why draw attention to the removal of a feature that shouldn’t really affect anyone anyway?
I figured that existing customers already have 1Password setups that are working for them, so no one would miss it. In all honesty I assumed it would go mostly unnoticed. I am sorry that we removed a feature that some of you rely on for your workflow and I’m sorry we didn’t communicate its removal. 1Password Standalone Vaults and PasswordWallet.Even if it’s technically still possible to do what you could do before, everything becomes more difficult and less supported when you’re on a niche path. This is also why people get uneasy about Apple dropping certain types of hardware and adding impediments to automation workflows. “Ignored” is probably too strong here, but the overall point is sound. If you’re not using it the same way that the people building it do, it’s going to be a pain to use, and your requests will be ignored.
#Reinstall 1password 7 software#
One thing I’ve learned about software in general is that I never want to be outside of the primary use case. Unfortunately, the outcome of those conversations is always similar to this thread.
I’ve brought it up with customer support and sales on multiple occasions. Perhaps one could split the arguments in this thread into two categories 1) forcing payment for some features is frustrating when it was free before, 2) stand-alone vault synchronisation features are disappearing because AgileBits thinks it’s more secure and more convenient to work via 1P-accounts.Īs a five year old customer of both personal and company plans, I also see the disappearance of stand-alone synchronisation as a negative. So you can never be sure that a feature you depend on won’t suddenly disappear or break. Chances are that you’ll get silently updated to the new version-and in this case the change wasn’t called out in the release notes, anyway-and there’s no way to go back or even to restore from backup. The other issue this story highlights is that app updates aren’t handled well on iOS. But it does reduce the utility of the app for those of us who don’t want to use the cloud service, because there’s no longer a way to pay for the iOS app without subscribing to the service. It seems pretty reasonable to disallow free creation of vaults.
#Reinstall 1password 7 for mac#
Standalone vaults still work, but must be created by a licensed product (1Password for Mac or 1Password for Windows). It wouldn’t be possible to create a new standalone vault from 1Password for iOS. It can either be used with a 1Password membership account or it can be synced to a standalone vault created by 1Password for Mac or 1Password for Windows. 1Password no longer offers a free-to-use option on iOS. I looked at release notes - all I can see is that 7.3.1 had improvements to standalone vault syncing, which seems to mean standalone vaults still work, and 7.3.3 reduced the size of the app by 27%. Today, I needed to urgently do this again, and I reinstalled 1Password to realize the new onboarding screen does not seem to let me configure my local vault at all. The last time I did this was a few weeks ago, likely running 7.3.1 or 7.3.2. On that phone, I often remove 1Password and reinstall it. Obviously this is not my main way of using 1Password, which I have been using now since 2011, mostly on Mac and iOS. I have a workflow where I use 1Password on my phone - locally, no sync, do not want sync, can not use sync. Local 1Password iOS Vaults No Longer Free
