Here's why I went back to 1Password 7
I tried 1Password 8 for a while and overall really like it, especially Universal Autofill, but I had to go back to 1Password 7 unfortunately. If any when I see these things have been improved, I'll ...
@coffeemacsunset : just go back to v7. But, you still have subscription to deal with. On the other hand, I've had subscription and family plan for some time--and I like it. YMMV.
If you want what looks like 1P but with vault locations you control--that in fact, you MUST control, as it has no cloud mechanism of its own--then look at Enpass.
I like the cloud and the family sharing features. I will look at Dashlane.
Regardless, it's clear that 1P v8 is a dumpster fire on a wrecking train. Way, way too many of us have been completely turned off from it within the first 15 minutes of using it. That can't be a coincidence. I don't think that something's wrong with me for not liking it, and I won't try to "fix" something that isn't wrong and try to keep using it.
And it's guaranteed that v7 will go away, no doubt sooner rather than later--especially on Mac, where every day and every OS update is a new security setup and AB will tell you, move along with the security train and stay up to date on 1P or get off the train completely, they can't help you.
If 1P v8 is the only choice, then get off the train it shall be.
And they may make all sorts of "promises" about "fixing" things--but it's clear, either (a) they completely missed out on what's important in 1P (incompetence), or (b) they simply didn't care and went and made something random that met goals other than satisfying the paying subscription customers.
Until the past couple of days I didn't know what Electron was. Many here seem to geek out on stuff like that. I now know what it is, but I still don't care. Whatever choices AB made to make v8, they were wrong choices--be in the Electron platform or specific coding and UI choices, all of which were no doubt driven by COST considerations that were shortsighted and with no consideration to "what will this mean to our paying user base and their subscriptions".
All we have in our arsenal is to vote with our wallets. Life is too short. Remember when 1P was a great product, and move on. Nothing lasts forever, and we weren't entitled for that to happen anyway.
