Same issue for me, having online vaults was the killer for me. Also the subscription made me really think if the service was worth it after all, specially after buying the apps they are asking me more money. I moved to Keepass (and opensource apps) and im fairly happy with it.

I dont think i will go back to 1Password.

A program worth using is worth buying

Woah! I think a lot of people in the free / open source community might have a problem with such a statement.

However, I do pay for a password manager because I recognise their importance and view them in a slightly different, almost unique way. I'm not averse to paying for software and services online, too.

What problems do you think they have?

Software is moving away from the classic buy-model and into a subscription/rent based model.

Free/open software does not mean no-cost.

How many times do I have to buy the same software, though?

It depends on how risk-averse your are.
