5 years ago1Password v8 is a Mistake
I've been a supporter and advocate for 1Password for years. I led my team to use it at work in 2016 because I'd been using it and loving it since it was 1Passwd. I happily downloaded 1Password 8 when I saw the early access announcement, and I can't believe this is what you plan to ship. ⌘\ is gone. It's a web app in a frame. v7 was first in class, completely solid Mac experience. v8 I wouldn't give a second thought to if I wasn't already so invested in the app. Now I don't know what I'm going to do. I know you give all this a lot of thought and run through lots of different scenarios, but I'm just chiming in to tell you, this is a mistake.
From someone who's been one of your biggest fans, v8 is a mistake. You shouldn't ship this.
Man, AgileBits used to be such a great little indie Mac company.

You know I am actually impressed you’re commenting after the backlash that’s been said here. The fact remains I’ve canceled my subscription and won’t be renewing. Im not getting stuck with yet another electron app. It’s bad enough I have to deal with all the others. You couldn’t even make the effort to use WebKit which shares almost identical front end code with electron without the insane bloat. Honestly it’s a slap in the face to us paying customers after all these years.

No, it's NOT a beta, this is a serious overstatement—this is alpha at best.

Thank you for your concern @ibuys and @blankspace!
The 1Password 8 might look like it is ready for release but this is a very first public beta of the app. And we hope to get more feedback from users like you about the features that are missing or the bugs that need to be fixed before the official release
Thank you again ❤️

Why do you think we were all screaming when the VCs came in. This was guaranteed, the question was just when.
