Well, they don't stop working on an improved app and new features while you don't want to update.

You don't only get compatibility with X with the new version but all that as well.

If no one wants those improvements, why should they pay them to keep working on it? Maybe 1pass should start working on something else to sell, and move the old stuff to minimal maintenance.

They should not pay them, they should use one of the numerous alternatives.

Yep, and in the case of 1pw, I use Bitwarden instead.

Fine. They can work on the app and sell me on the benefits they’ve added.
