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.

roustem there is NO way you've used 1PW8 since last year if it's in this current stage as EA with all the issues—otherwise, I'm assuming you didn't have use for a password manager for that long. This is not remotely close to being a daily driver. And if you're support (I'm making an assumption here, so please correct me if wrong) then you should absolutely not run an internal dev version. And even if so—then you're telling a lot of people didn't catch all these basic mistakes? Sorry, but having a real hard time believing that statement.

@blankspace Understood. But I am still sad that after so many years you abandoned us without giving the new app a chance. It certainly needs more work as krusnof mentioned but I truly believe that it is the best version of 1Password we shipped so far (have you tried to at least edit an item in 1Password 8 and see how much better it is compared to version 7?)
Anyway, I hope you will find what you are looking for. We still love you 🙏

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.
