What a non-surprise! They move to a stupid 'subscription' format and
then keep raising the price. All these 'subscription'-based and
cloud-based apps and services (including streaming tv) are just a
greedy money-grab. :-\

Price hike: 1Password increasing the cost of annual plans
---------------------------------------------------------
Password management tool 1Password is raising its prices by
$12 per year, making the free Apple Passwords more attractive
to iPhone users.

Subscribers of 1Password have been warned by the company of
upcoming price hikes to the password manager. Starting from
March 27, users will be paying more for its yearly
subscription plans.

The cost of the annual individual plan will be shifting from
$35.88 per year to $47.88, representing a price rise of
$12 per year, $1 per month, or a 33% increase. Similarly, the
family plan will rise from $59.88 to $71.88. This is also a
$12 per year increase, or a 20% price hike.

For subscribers, the new pricing will take effect the next
time they renew their plan after that date, reports The Verge.

In the email, 1Password explains that the raises will help it
continue to invest in its product and add new features. These
recent additions include phishing protection and the ability
to add payment details.

To 1Password's credit, it does say that the prices have
remained at about the same level for a few years. This is a
rarity in a market that is extremely familiar with frequent
price increases.

However, this does give users an incentive to consider their
options.

One could be switching over to Apple's own Passwords app, also
referred to as the Keychain, which works seamlessly across the
ecosystem. It also works on Windows, and even has browser
plugins enabling it to autofill websites in Firefox and others.

For Apple users, Apple Passwords is a viable option. And,
better yet, it's free.

Bitwarden works great for me. Cross-platform, no login or device
limits, passkeys, multiple identities and credit card fill ins, and free.

I love it. Wherever possible I use FOSS. LO, FF, TB and more. Passwords
is the famous exception. The best is FOSS is usually crossplatform.
