What justifies the huge subscription price increase?

Today I received an email from 1Password with the message of a price increase. Current price: €31.80 EUR / year New price: €43.80 EUR / year This is an enormous price. Can someone from 1Password...

It's been a long run. Survived the removal of non-cloud syncing. The introduction of subscription only pricing. The corporate buyout and lessened focus on the consumer end. The awful rewrite of the app to Electron. But finally, I've made the switch elsewhere.

    Omg the electron argument 😂

    there are tons of apps that use electron and 1Password is one of the best. I have zero issues with it.

      That's excellent news for you -  but many people do have issues with Electron apps, for the well-documented high resource consumption (RAM, CPU and battery life), large file sizes (due to each application bundling its own copy of Chromium and Node.js) and poor OS integration. Yes, 1Password is one of the better ones, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be even better as a native app - as it was before v8.

        And yet I don’t have these issues with 1Password. Slack I do.

    So what did you decide on?

      No decision yet. I have to research the top choices mentioned, including what it takes to transfer all my passwords.

      I actually had an old lifetime premium Enpass account. I think 1Password at this stage probably has a "slicker" looking UI, but Enpass is completely functional on mobile and desktop. Supports one time authenticator codes, autofill, passkeys, every browser I've thrown at it, and can create vaults on iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, local folders, and a bunch more.

      Biggest downside so far, if using iCloud for sync it's one vault only stored there. But I am able to have multiple vaults with other cloud services, which is nice - put all my work accounts on my work OneDrive.

      Look around though. TONS of options out there, but this one is avoiding the monthly or annual fee for me. Not sure if they still sell lifetime.
