![]() ![]() ![]() The crippleware (or 'dumb down' if you prefer) version is 'free.' It stores 'up to 50 passwords.' Dear friends, if all you have to manage is 50 passwords, a password manager is way overkill. I plan on switching to one of the KeePass forks whenever 1Password cuts me off from features I’ve already been using and paid for.'Free?'Please. It seems reasonable and I would support that. That’s how Microsoft handles Windows and MS Office updates for one-time purchases. I understand that even security updates and OS updates require programmer “woman-hour” development costs, but the simple way to solve that problem is to say “We will support the one-time license purchase for X years with updates to make it functional with the newest OS and patch any security vulnerabilities found”. Am I sure that’s the case? No, because they’re intentionally obfuscating what limitations, if any, exist on the one-time purchase version, because they don’t want anyone buying it. I still use 1Password, and am upset that I don’t think I can upgrade to Mohajve without losing access to the Safari bookmarklet, because I’ve read they pushed that feature to subscription only. With one-time purchases, they need to impress the consumer with meaningful upgrades in order to get the consumer to part ways with their hard-earned money. They can keep putting out the exact same thing for 30 years and you’re locked into the monthly price. I refuse to go subscription model on anything because it reduces incentive for the developers to innovate. You can still buy 1Password as a one-time purchase, but you have jump through several hoops. They also don’t give clear information on what features are not accessible to non-subscribers. ![]() I personally loathe 1Password’s decision to not only switch to a subscription model, but also to blatantly hide the one-time purchase, burying it so that it’s not publicly visible, and requires special communication with them to purchase. ![]() Things like the secret key and the support team for 1Password puts it miles ahead of everyone else. It’s got a lot of promise but 1Password does better. The only password manager that comes in second to 1Password will be Bitwarden. If they can’t do that they don’t get my money. They have one job and that is to keep the passwords safe and secured. It will auto fill in places that I did not want it to and then it would press enter and submit the password to who knows what resulting in me having to change passwords many times.īut the real nail in the coffin for me was reading about real Dashlane user saying that Dashlane deleted their account and all the passwords. Umm… I don’t know who decided that was okay but I rather make my own Maximum length or have it be well above that.ĭashlane also did autofill and auto login which at first seem great, I never saw the login pages. Other things that I did not like about Dashlane was that its maximum password length is 28 characters. That is a big no-no, a password manager should never have your passwords in plaintext at any moment on their servers. I also don’t trust their auto change for passwords since they do it server side which means at one point your sensitive password is in plaintext. It was my go-to for older relatives but at that price, I don’t recommend them. Dashlane was fine but far too expensive for the features you get. ![]()
