I don't trust any online service as a repository for my passwords, which are literally the keys to my online castle, and thus invaluable. If it's online, it has a good chance of eventually being hacked (see LastPass). 1Password was initially developed and hyped specifically as a harbour against this problem with offline vaults. I'm very disappointed that you've decided to abandon your original backers this way. I realize and support your option to seek subscriptions for revenue and ease of updating, and would even happily pay for a subscription if necessary to keep up to date as long as offline vaults were still supported.
