I am a LastPass refugee. I am a software engineer as well, and I can understand why they do it this way. The 1Password method ensures that the password that you are changing to is saved 100% of the time. It is a well thought out method, and while different than LastPass and others, it ensures that you do not loose your new password. Like me, people are probably just used to doing things, (and more familiar with) LastPass (or whatever they used before) and their process', but the 1Password process is better.
For instance, by waiting until after you change your password to save it ( the LP method), many times LP either stops prompting, or you loose the ability to save\update the record by jumping to another web page, losing your session, or even closing the web site. This results in loosing the password entirely. You have no record of your new password so you have to start over, and if you are lucky, you can still try changing your password again, not ever knowing what you previously changed it too on the website account, and get locked out.
In 1Password, by updating and saving the new password first, even if something happens (or doesn't happen), you'll always have the original password and the new password (even if it doesn't meet requirements) that you changed it too. I just changed almost 800 passwords and was it it 100% on all sites? Not all the time, and I did need to view password history and do it again, but I still had every new password I had changed, so I believe that this is a much better program flow design and I hope they do not change it!
