I agree 100% with all the comments here, especially what it is I'm actually paying to support! I have to admit the change to 1PW 8 has been less than inspiring for me, so much so that I'm close to binning 1PW, and its annual subscription altogether.
The 1PW helper or whatever it's called, the 1PW icon that sits in the Safari tool bar, is pain to use, and useless too! If I use the Mac Keychain password I hover over a site user / password dialogue box, get invited to use the Mac stored details and it works. This time I tried the 1PW option after I saw the 1PW logo in the field. Useless! I click it, then it opens up 1PW and asks me to log in (so it's already one more step than if I didn't use 1PW) and then to cap it all, I click the log in that then pops up an nothing happens, nothing! So what's the actual point of the Safari helper?? At the moment 1PW for me is good only for storing passwords, not enabling me to use them anywhere, and for that, it's expensive. I've now removed the Safari extension again and will go back to using something that actually works!
Had another issue yesterday as well. Tried to post a question to the forum in light of all the permissions this Safari (non helpful) Helper wants access to, nothing, post sitting in drafts saying it will be posted after it's been approved. So not only is the app getting next to useless, the support site is too! Not impressed at all. Once my subscription expires it won't be getting renewed at this rate! If 1PW cannot do what I need it to do, I'll find something that can. I'm not interested in supporting something on the basis that it used to have a good reputation, it's what it's like now!
