"Are you using 1PW 7.x or 1PW 6.x or lower? If 6.x or lower, you will not have an upgrade path to 7.x that doesn't force you to purchase a subscription. They turned off the servers that provision standalone licenses so you are stuck on 6.x if you want to keep a standalone vault on your Mac."

If I'm reading you right, this is wrong. I'm using 1Password 7.9.2, and I don't subscribe. I have been using 1Password since early versions and I have never subscribed. I'm speaking from experience, not from what I've read or what someone told me.

1PW on your iPhone, or on your Mac? Because to use it on a Mac, you’d have to purchase the license to use it after the trial period ends. More than that, if you don’t purchase it, it would leave your vault in read-only mode until you purchase the license. That has been that way since 1PW 3.x for the Mac.

That is why the distinction is made between a subscription and a license. The license is for standalone vaults that you can keep on your Mac, where a subscription is stored in the cloud somewhere, or on 1PW’s servers.

"That is my problem as well, as I'm on 1PW 6.8.9 on my Mac, using Sierra. I have since migrated over to Enpass, and am about to pull the trigger on a new Mac, as mine is almost 11 years old."

I'm surprised you never upgraded to High Sierra. What kind of Mac are you planning to get?

13” mid-2011 MacBook Air. High Sierra is the last OS supported for my Mac, but it never ran stable on it. I’ve been solid on Sierra ever since, though I’m about to pull the trigger on the latest MBP.

If you're on 1PW 7 on your Mac, you're in the sweet spot. My understanding is that 1PW 7 is either a universal binary, or has support for Silicon, so you will never have to upgrade from that, especially if you are on a licensed version with a standalone vault. It will work for you forever. Just be sure to keep the license key and installer available should you need to reinstall, and you're all set.
Yup!

I don't own a cell phone or a tablet. Mobility is overrated.

I never thought I would be using Mojave. But it's a pretty good OS, for all its flaws. Last week I bought a 2015 Macbook Pro for $800. It may be the best computer I've ever had. The font rendering is a revelation to my over the hill eyes.

After originally starting with Macs and then going PC even with building my own over the past 30 years, I've become used to the 2-year life cycle of hardware. After coming back to Macs and buying this MBA, I'm absolutely shocked that this Mac has lasted me nearly 11 years, and without any maintenance needed at all. Granted Sierra has been the farthest I've been able to go, but this Mac has been solid on it.

I've personally been using Minimalist password manager (https://minimalistpassword.com) for a few months now and am very happy. Admittedly, I'm only using it so supplement the built in keychain password management, meaning I only use it to store software licenses, bank details, etc., while I keep login details in keychain. It obviously helps that I am 100% in Apple's ecosystem and therefore don't need a Windows or Android solution.

I was able to transfer my vault from this 2011 iMac to a new (used) 2015 Macbook Pro running Mojave without much trouble. It's never easy, but you know how that is. I had to go to the 1Password web site and found what I wanted.

Companies don’t matter to me. Products do. If a product magically becomes a service, it's no good to me. If a product no longer works, it's no good to me. What I want is very simple: a product that works and doesn't turn into a pumpkin when the clock strikes twelve. There may be a time when 1Password doesn't work for me. I will cross that bridge when I come to it. We've been conned into thinking we need "the latest and greatest." We don't. I continue to be astonished by what people will participate in. I for one would never put my passwords into "the cloud." That strkes me as utter foolishness. People on this forum have thought this subject through, but most people haven't. Too busy, I guess. I don't know.

1P 7.9.5 on two Macs. Agree - never store in the cloud. I'll change when 1P stand alone version no longer runs on the version of macOS that I've now upgraded to. No interest in linking passwords across iOS and macOS as there's no sensitive stuff on my iPhone, so no passwords of note.
