Here's why I went back to 1Password 7

@abriden Thank you for your reply, I do worry if 1pass7 goes away. I just went back to 7 and all is ok again.

adam1991 Thank you for replying to my comment also. I did just go back to using 1pass7 on my Mac now. I don't mine paying 1password some money since I appreciate the app all these years and want to continue using it. Just was sad I had to say goodbye to some things in order to get a subscription I liked. Mainly the vault and how I could back it up myself. I wish 1pass8 had some feature to let us do that since I am a nut about backing things up and doesn't feel right to me I have no way to do that now.

I do understand replacing 1pass to another app is no easy task though. Sorry I complained here. Glad 1pass7 still works and is available. I also understand this change and drastic move to 1pass8 was to make it run on any system or OS. But sad how it made a mess of the macOS version. I mean the app itself still works fine, but its the other things like the safari extension which is a whole other thing now and doesn't work for me 99% of the time. Doesn't even unlock for me.

I just kept thinking with auto update on, they would fix these issues but even the Mac app store 1password for safari app hasn't been updated in 3 weeks it seems. It only has 1 star rating and so many people saying it doesn't work, won't unlock. So I don't know why it's such a problem to fix it. That would solve so much of my frustration since I'm not used to upgrading something and it being more broken than before. It would also mean I could upgrade my mom's Mac since then auto fill would work for her. When something is so broken I can't trust to let my mom use it. She will just get frustrated and go back to using the same simple password on many sites and not using 1password anymore. Not a good thing at all.

I just wish for now more could be said about 1pass7 and its status from the company. I remember being told we could keep on using it for for how long? When I went back to it, I got it from the Mac App Store so glad it was still there and the safari extension installed fine. Worked as usual but don't know why the new one never does. I could say this is such a simple thing to fix, unlocking... you would think. Like you have to unlock it to do anything with it but if you can't even do that? Since I am paying for a subscription now they are still getting my money even though I am using 1pass7 so I hope I can keep using it or that they will fix these problems with 1pass8.
