Exactly! I won’t be spending anymore money on 1P now that we know the direction they’re taking... besides, I don’t need any of the new fancy features, just a simple password manager would do just fine thank you very much.
But in an earlier thread bwoodruff commented: "That said, membership is the way forward." I asked for clarification, but never saw any. (If 1Password 7 is the last time it'll be available as a one-time license, then it may be best to try to find an alternative now.)
