Password manager recommendations? - DeusxMac - 02-14-2021
I've been using 1Password myself for some time now, but stopped upgrading at version 6.8.9 because I do NOT want my passwords stored on some developers servers, nor do I want to "subscribe" to it as a service.
Does anyone have recommendations for a password manager app that:
1. Does not require a subscription; is purchased outright
2. Stores user's passwords ONLY on the user's devices, not remotely
3. Works across the user's devices, i.e. a Mac app that can sync with an iPhone app
TIA

did 1Password get rid of the non subscription license or is it merely well hidden?
I'm still on 1Password 6.8.9
I use dropbox to sync passwords to my iphone.

If you like the 1Password, I think you can still get a stand-alone license (no subscription) and to can store the keychain on the local machine. I think, not 100% sure.

yes, you have to hunt around a bit but there is still a one-time purchase ($70) app. i think you can store the vault locally. i use Dropbox because I want 1P available for all my devices.

What are you referring to with "the built in Mac app"? Keychain?
If so, that really doesn't have the capabilities of apps like 1Password.

1Password 7 is subscription only, and it's the only version the App store offers now.

Well then your "sync" would be going through DropBox's servers wouldn't it?

Isn't LastPass syncing through their servers? "Anything you save on one device is instantly available on any other device you use"
