Bitwarden isn't free if you use the 2FA features.

Didn't even know that Bitwarden existed before this thread. Pretty cool. I have the 1Password Family plan (and have had it since they came out with it).
- an interesting read but a year old.
1Password works with just a browser extension (I use this on my work computer) on Windows.
Appears the free version is lacking some features - but very good for individuals.
Why are you paying subscription for 1password? there is a license option.

This is where you are wrong. Free does not work. You don't get food for free, a car for free, electricity for free... no society works on free. This is why data collecting companies are violating the public's privacy. Since no one wants to pay with their money they decided to make them pay with their privacy.
If you want reliable software/services online that respects your privacy and has an ethical business model pay for it or donate.
It has been some time since I researched, but it seemed that 1Password was better than anyone else in terms of security. I have been using 1Password for close to two years now, and trust 1Password more than any other app. Since 1Password comes cheaper than any other to purchase in-app at $12 or so annually, this is an icing on the cake for me.
As I mentioned you’ve grouped Apple Mail with other applications so it’s misleading To new iOS users and ppl looking on the article for the main page.
if it wasn’t grouped with the others I’d have not stated anything.

my copy has option to sync with iCloud and DropBox. Latest version, license not subscription
Ditto. Some things are worth paying for. Keeping passwords safe is at the top of the list. I've used several apps, and 1Password is secure and easy to use. Worth the money, since it's protecting my entire digital life.
I hate subscriptions for apps, but I do subscribe to Bear Pro app. At $14.99 a year they can at least maintain it. I'm not asking for huge updates, as the app is feature complete for me. I could use it for 10 years and not have any feature added and I would be happy. But that's it. On the other hand, I have been burned by pay once apps with biannual upgrades. Developers constantly break the app, and the core appeal, by adding too many things. Bugs I need to constantly report. So tiring. And then when the app is bloated and nobody buys it anymore, they give up. So I have given up on using most apps. So now, I select only a few that don't lock my data in.
If I was using apps like photoshop as tool in a business subscription makes sense because I would want the latest and greatest, support, etc. But there are some apps that the current version is all that I need. I am willing to pay a one time fee and down the road an upgrade fee to keep up with changing OS's. I am using a genealogy program that was at version 9 and did everything I wanted but was forced to by version 12 in order to use it with sierra. My guess is that with apple silicon it will happen again. The upgrade is just a little cheaper than buying outright.
Yeah, Apple doesn't like you. And here's another thought. I'm still using a 2013 MacBook Air. Have just been given a 2010 MacBook Pro to run some old PowerPC apps on Snow Leopard. Many Mac users keep their Macs for far too long. We're all Apple's worst nightmare! Haha!

Never really understood the hatred many have towards subscriptions. Many of them offer much better value vs outright purchase, particularly if you update every couple years. Though I can't say that for all of them.
Autodesk - Autocad and Revit LT Suite - I have subs for these as they are crucial to my business. One thing I have noticed is that since moving to a sub model Autodesk no longer changes the file format every couple years. In the old days, it was always a nightmare to be sure your model was saved in the same format as your clients and associates, which pretty much forced you to upgrade to remain compatible. For the record, I think Autodesk is about the most predatory software company I deal with.
Microsoft - Office 365 and the Azure server platform - I am very happy with my Microsoft subs these days as we get a tremendous value compared to what we used to spend on Office, Servers, and email hosting.
Adobe - I don't currently have a subscription and I hate their model, but I do have an employee that has it in case we need to access it. I dropped them as their pricing climbed out of sight. If you need all the apps, it's a bargain, but for a single app, it's pretty steep.
Filemaker - my biggest frustration with Filemaker and several others is that they only sell subs for business use in blocks of 5. I can't get their server piece to allow mobile access unless I buy 5 licenses. This function, pre subscription, was built into the app as, IWP and worked brilliantly.
The small stuff like 1Password, I treat as a service and not an app so I never even think of how many of them I use.
