Standalone vaults in 1Password 8

I moved to 1Password from Keepass on the recommendation of a friend. I had been using KeePass because I could keep my data on my own computer. My friend said I could do that with 1Password AND the user interface was really nice. He was right.

You had reasons for including private vaults when you started 1Password. You even put them on your website. Those reason are still valid. There are passwords in my private vault that will never be stored in a cloud. Never. Never. Never.

I happily paid the monthly fee for your software. I keep most passwords in your cloud and you have to operate it. Operating systems are constantly changing and app changes are needed. Technology moves forward and good software does too.

But removing the single most important feature of your software has destroyed my trust in you. I now see you as a company that can and will arbitrarily do whatever it wants. Companies that lose the trust of their customers eventually disappear.
