1Password 8 memory usage vs 1Password 7. AKA, why Electron is no good.

1P_PeterG I actually wouldn't mind continuing to test 1P8, but I'm a standalone license/local vault user. I signed up for a two week trial of 1P.com specifically to play around with the 1P8, but that trial is set to expire in a few days. I thought that maybe, just maybe, if 1P8 really blew my mind I might consider switching from my standalone license to a subscription, but as things stands, there is no compelling reason for me to do that.

I am (well was...) very happy with 1Password 7 and I have no desire to upload all of my passwords to the 1P cloud. As such, switching to a subscription simply makes no sense for me. Given that the only way you can use 1P8 is via a subscription, this would seem to be the end of the line for me and beta testing it. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, I'm livid with the removal of the iOS share sheet extension in version 7.8 of 1Password for iOS (not to mention that the new iOS extension doesn't support local vaults). As such, I am actively looking at 1Password alternatives. I am sad to say, unless something drastic changes at AgileBits, I won't be a user for much longer.
