1Password 8 for Windows and local vault (Dropbox Sync)

We don't have any plans to have 1Password 8 support older standalone vaults. 1Password.com memberships are the future of 1Password and you can read some of our founder Dave's thoughts here: The future of local/standalone vaults — 1Password Support Community

We are looking for feedback on a self-hosted version of 1Password for folks who'd like to host the 1Password service on their own server. If that's something that would be useful for you then please fill out our self-hosted survey: Self-hosted 1Password kick-starter

Need a standalone vault as a possible option, at least! There's never too much when we're talking security, right? So please, give me the option to use alternative storage of my choice! I will be still paying for the subcsription, so what's the difference.

1password tried it in the past, and received a pushback from the userbase. Now it's clear some idiot in the marketing deparment is trying it again. Let me say it again - if there's no support for a local vault, I'm going to say goodbye to you!

Not having standalone vault and not being able to use storage of my choice will be strong reason to unsubscribe after 4 years of using 1password paid subscription. Having to store everything in one place feels less secure.

This change marked the downfall of 1Password's pledge to its users. May the dollar reign supreme, because even buying perpetually licensed software isn't good enough. Subscription models are here and they do not care about us.

I think the best go around might be to see if you can find 1Password 7 to support our own vaults.

Hey kevinlee:

Your 1Password account password is never transmitted anywhere in plaintext, whether using a 1Password app, or my.1Password.com. For details on how this works, see here: How Secure Remote Password protects your 1Password account

If dropbox sync is no longer possible, could you at least provide a way to set up a different password from the password for account sign-in to unlock the app? I don't want to use the same password for unlocking the app and signing in the 1Password website. It doesn't seem secure.

Hi @NicolasSiver - thank you for this (and thank you DenalB for the answer!).

We do hope to continue giving you a strong experience with 1Password, and 1Password 8 does bring some changes. The new app is built around
the architecture of 1Password.com, and there are many virtues to that.

However, we're also gauging interest around self-hosting solutions. We'd love to hear about how you might prefer to do that and what the upsides would be for you. If you'd like to send us some feedback, here's the survey!

Hello DenalB,

Thank you for the URL.

After reading the response, it's quite clear. Well. I really liked the mix of strong UX from 1Password and allowing me to store my data where I want it.

Regards,
Nicolas
