I'm hanging on to 1password 6 for as long as I can. I can't use the browser plugin on firefox anymore, so I have to copy&paste my passwords in, but at least I have my vault stored locally. I also paid something like $70 and had the rug pulled from under me when they wanted to start charging monthly on top of that.

It's not that I expect support forever for software I paid once for, but I think that the monthly, no local vault is worse than what they offered in 1password 6. I am OK with having to manually copy in passwords.

I am using 6, and the classic extension still works for me on Firefox. It was only when they discontinued (and refused to port) the Safari classic extension that I couldn't use Safari anymore.

Works for me on Chrome too, but not Brave (my browser of choice).

Are there any security concerns holding on to 1p 6.0 ? I notice the mobile app still sees updates, but could there be in theory an unpatched security hold in the desktop app ?

That's part of the reason I am OK with just copying and pasting in firefox. It keeps the desktop app isolated from the browser.

Yeah but the chrome plugin still works at full functionality.

Yes but I don't want to use chrome, especially after they break ad blocking.

To answer your question about the security: I don't know. I don't audit it, and copying and pasting lets me not really have to worry about the security of the browser extension.

Ublock Origin still works for me, what are you referencing ?

Basically all of the above makes me very sad. But it's still useful enough that I'll still be paying, but they are drawing down that goodwill.

They have virtually endless developer resources and aren't building native apps?! This is insane. Not only from a performance perspective, but more importantly from a security standpoint. The more they rely on 3rd party code, the more vulnerable they are.

This is crazy. Is there any reason to learn how to write with a speedy native toolkit anymore??
