pricing?
I am trying to decide whether switch to 1Password from Keeper. Is 1Password's price fixed for life once I buy the license, or can it go up?

Hi @staylor54,
When you purchase a licence for 1Password it's a one-off cost that entitles you to run that version for as long as you want. For example, if you were to purchase today you would be entitled to run 1Password 5 on as many Macs as you or up to 5 other family members in the same household own. The licence entitles you to free point updates, that is to say anything that is numbered 5.X. We do reserve the right to charge for new major versions e.g. version 6 but it isn't a guarantee. The last time we charged our users to update was 1Password 4. Any 1Password 4 customer was given a free upgrade to 1Password 5 when we released it.
Does that help at all? Please, if you have any follow up questions do ask :smile:

Thanks. Also, if I want to share just some password information with family members (e.g., I'd like my son to have access to some passwords and not others), can 1Password limit what is shared?

Hi @staylor54,
So what we have right now is the idea of secondary vaults. In 1Password 3 you had a single vault that was called your primary vault and there wasn't any easy way to share a part of this with others. In 1Password 4 and 5 you now have the ability to create secondary vaults with their own unique passwords. Using Dropbox you can share a vault with others and as long as both of you keep it synchronised, any changes one of you make are visible to the other. With 1Password for Mac what do is all of your vaults are stored in an encrypted SQLite database file and we store the keys for your secondary vaults inside your primary one. What that technical description means though is when you unlock your primary vault with your Master Password (that remains private to you), you also unlock any secondary vaults and you can switch between them. I use secondary vaults to split my personal and work items but we also use secondary vaults here at AgileBits for the various teams too. The idea is the developer teams have multiple secondary vaults and each only has access to the ones they need and no more.
We have a number of people here in the forums that use 1Password to do what you would like to do so I think from that perspective 1Password will work for you. Now say you need to share some items with your son but then others with your partner, you just create another secondary vault and only keep what you need to in each.
All of this you can test for 30 days by the way as the AgileBits Store version of 1Password for Mac (available on our AgileBits Download page) starts of in a trial mode. So you can play about with it and see what you think. At the end you can hopefully make a more informed decision as to if 1Password works for you :smile: and of course we're also here to answer any questions.
