Removing the ability to use it in a non-saas (local vaults, vaults shared by other syncing solutions) capacity is what drove the final nail into the 1password coffin for me. I can't trust that they don't hold master keys to all the vaults on their saas offerings.

The swap from native to electron on macos was hugely disappointing but something I could have probably lived with if they hadn't gone full saas no alternative.

So you think they could be lying about their fundamental selling point, and hiding it in all of their audits? Personally, I'd trust them more than Apple/Google/etc.

Yep, ramming online vaults down everyone's throat is also what killed it for me. Since then I've gone from a massive supporter to recommending everyone look elsewhere.

Their online security-related UX is also a freaking nightmare. The desktop and mobile apps are excellent and still clearly the best, but yikes, their password plus secret uuid plus device identity is awful. I know multiple people who permanently lost everything thanks to that (remember, no local backups any more! That's what cloud storage almost always guarantees!), and they now push others away too.

I'm now a (relatively) happy KeePass user.
