Why renew sub when I don’t want 1P8?
My annual sub renewal is due in a few days. For the first time in 12+ years, I’m unsure if I want to do this.
I’ve posted elsewhere here about my dissatisfaction with 1P8, and I’ve noted many others here who have similar views.
I reverted to the excellent 1P7, since when I’ve seen no signs of 1P fixing the prime differences with the interface and general usability of 1P8 compared to 1P7.
1P have said here that they will not be supporting 1P7 from now onward. So I'm wondering why I should renew my sub and pay for 1P7, which is effectively defunct as far as 1P is concerned?

It would be great to get a view on this from a 1P person as I'm due to pay my sub in the next few days.

Just a few suggestions off the top of my head. No specific order except for #1. That was the single factor that I opted for when moving to membership eight years ago; I think it was.

It costs nothing to write in. They can also answer any questions you might have about cancelation if that is your choice. Please use:

Tommy, thanks, that last point about contacting the billing team is good advice, and I'll give it a try.

Glad to be of assistance.

Billing Support gave me a discount on my upcoming renewal, which was generous and appreciated. I'll continue to use the familiar, faultless 1P7 during the next 12 months until and if I see a reason to shift to 8.

Remaining in the family, yes—though I have the feeling the parents have moved the furniture around and I’m still not sure it’s home any more.

Haha @necktilt , you literally had me laughing out loud at my desk. I dare say some folks might ask WTH? I just had to thank you for that lively comment as I get my morning started. I truly appreciate the humor. I hope it was intended that way.
I’m still not sure it’s home any more.
I'm sorry if things felt a little strange while we re-model and bring 1Password 8 out into the world. I hope we can make 1Password feel like home just as it used to. We'll keep working towards that.

Thanks Tommy.
I do have an open feature request with my team of jesters for more humour, and I'm happy to add a vote on your behalf for this feature.
And while I humorously consider and discuss every feature request submitted, I can't guarantee when, or if, a particular request for something wildly funny will make it into a post.

Oh all right, let's get serious. Here goes. Why not make 1P8 exactly like 1P7?

OK... but during that review, did you think it was important to move the things you did right in IP7 into IP8? Seems quite a few people here think that’s where the review may have faltered. But it’s never too late to change your mind!
