Hi Dave, oh, I think I may not have expressed myself accurately. I was referring more to the product pages on the 1Password website e.g. https://1password.com/de/personal

I don't think the website is the "problem" as it uses the informal "you". This seems appropriate as a way of addressing users, as Apple, for example, also uses this more informal, more personal, form.

In the iOS and iPadOS apps, the user is addressed as "you" (polite form).

I think this is more a fundamental decision about how the communication between the company and the customer should be. There is currently this difference, at least in German.

Regarding the redesign of the website, is it also accessible via „1Password.eu“?
