Is 1Password 7 for Mac the last one that doesn't require a 1Password login/account?

It's a clean app, but holy cow is it ever slow. Since joining the beta, I am astounded at how much longer every action takes.

I get the desire to go to the Electron model, having a unified look and feel across OSes, but... wow. I really hope this is going to improve over time, because right now it's not a happy place across my environment.

:+1: :)

My pleasure @ag_ana 😊

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words DitchComfort :)

I have to agree with 1P_Tommy. Before I recently did a clean install I was testing the 1P8 beta, and I find the app much cleaner, easy to use, and in some way more ‘modern’. And I usually don’t spend much time in the app (only for cleaning up and/or adding some stuff). As long as the app continues to improve and doesn’t take up too much RAM or CPU, I have faith in 1P8.

But, I have also checked out Apple Keychain to store my passwords and TOTP, and store other information and licenses in a secure note or something similar. Always nice to get rid of as many apps as possible, IMHO.

I was more talking in the traditional browser interface. I am very happy to enter and manage my details in the new 1Password 8. I've been using it in the internal alpha phase, and it more than meets my needs. I do not stay in the interface that much. I add what I need, close it, and I'm on my way. I have found it easier to use than 1Password 7 in some regards. It's only going to get better with time. Just as 1Password 3,4,5,6, and 7 did. I have been using 1Password for 14+ years now, and it works for me — much of that as a user. I would encourage you to give it a try. Being here for so many version changes over the years, I know there will be issues to iron out. I have found a few spots that need love in my personal use. It's part of the process. I hope you'll keep a check on it. We might just win you over.

1P_Tommy then give us an app and not a glorified web page in an inefficient browser. Electron is never a good move for the consumer.

I prefer the desktop app myself. I do not prefer to edit my details in the browser. Long live the Desktop app and it also brings features like Touch ID and Apple Watch unlock to the table.

Please help me sort out some confusion here. I have had standalone licenses for many 1PW versions, including v.7 and participate in the beta program. I hadn't heard of v.8 until I logged in here for a different issue. I also have a 1PW account, as I use the extension in Linux as well as on my Macs and this was the only way to get things to work there. Poking around the site I see that 1PW is currently only for Windows, and that standalone licenses are history. So if there is to be a v.8 for macOS, what would it's purpose be—given there will be no standalone license, and a 1PW membership functions fine without a desktop app? What would you expect the path forward to be for someone like me?

MrJvG,
