What's wrong with 1Password?

  They switched from a purchase with local vault storage model (where you could sync it to the cloud if you wanted to) to subscription-only with cloud storage they control.

    Short of using pass, what are some good alternatives? My main critic of 1Password has been the cost, but it is a very good password manager, and price seems to have gone down... Or at least the dollars has weakened enough that the price has come down for me.

      > and price seems to have gone down They sent an email a couple months ago stating prices were increasing as of Mar 27. The family plan went from $59.88 USD per year to $71.88 But it's still worth it IMO.

      The price just went up (March 27th) https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/24/1password-announces-big-price-increases-coming-next-month/ https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/24/1password-announces-big-price...

        Weird that their website isn't updated yet. My subscription renewed earlier this year and I noticed that the price had come down, but that's because the dollar has lost 15% of it's value since last year. That is a pretty big price bump though, and I think it's going to cost them. It's certainly enough that I'll reconsider Bitwarden.

          Bitwarden also increased their prices earlier this year, although it's still less than half the price of 1Password.

            Bitwarden is free, for the features I need.
