Re: What justifies the huge subscription price increase?
I got an email saying 1Pass was increasing its annual fee from $36 to $48. That's a 33% increase! Makes grocery price increases look like pennies. I'm looking at alternative password managers. Anyone else?

When considering the cost savings of switching to an alternative password manager, it may be worthwhile to take into consideration how much time and effort is required for the migration. While that is a fixed one-time cost, you may not value it at $0 and, if so, the break-even point could be many months away.
Additionally, there is a risk that the alternative password manager will also increase their subscription price (assuming it is a paid solution) in the not too distant future, perhaps in an attempt to be more at parity with the pricing of 1Password.

The amount of time it took me to export into 1PUX format was less than a minute. The amount of time to import that 1PUX file into a competitor's app was roughly one minute. So taking that into consideration, seems like a pretty worthy trade off.
In their defense, groceries haven't been the same price for 10 years.... The more I see this, the more likely I will stay (still not 100% yet). 1Password has been the same price since 2016, groceries haven't.
Thanks for the input. 1Pass wouldn't have raised this ire if they had just increased rates 2% over 10 years, or even imposed a 5% increase now. Someone at 1Pass should have known the backlash they would get for a 33% price hike.
