Re:1Password: Standalone / Local Vault Option Gone?

I find the product division between 1Password 7 and 1PasswordX confusing. I've been a standalone user since the start, and it's hard not to feel like I'm on the unblessed path. Clearly AgileBits wants reoccurring revenue, so it's in their best interest to push everyone over to that model. I find myself periodically feeling anxious that one day I'll wake up and they'll have just removed the option to sync with other providers like iCloud or Dropbox.

Hi EmersonL. Ben from 1Password here. I'm sorry for the confusion. 1Password 7 and 1Password X are very different offerings. 1Password X is a membership-only browser extension that does not require a desktop application. It is great for folks on Linux or ChromeOS who cannot use one of our desktop applications. Those who are on Mac/Windows who are using either membership or standalone are likely to better enjoy 1Password 7 which can offer a richer experience and better integration with the host operating system.
