But it turns out that if you want to buy a license, you still can; the company has decided not to prominently display that option, but it\u2019s still available.<\/p>\r\n<p>To purchase a pay-once version for the Mac, for instance, you have to go to their <a href=\"https:\/\/1password.com\/downloads\/mac\/\">downloads page<\/a>; the version in the Mac App Store is subscription-only.<\/p>\r\n<p>The pay-once version of 1Password 7 for Mac is currently on sale for about $50; the price goes up to $65 soon. (They don\u2019t show the sale price until partway through the ordering process.) Subscriptions\/memberships cost about $3\/month for individuals, more for families.<\/p>\r\n<p>The company really doesn\u2019t do a good job of explaining all this, but that\u2019s because they don\u2019t want people to buy one-time licenses; they\u2019re mainly providing that option for longtime users who don\u2018t want to subscribe.<\/p>\r\n<p>They also don\u2019t do a good job of explaining that if you have a membership and you let it lapse, you don\u2019t lose access to all your passwords.<\/p>\r\n<p>I like 1Password a lot, but I gather that the other prominent password-management apps (especially LastPass and Dashlane) have a clearer and less offputting pricing model.<\/p>\r\n<p>For a lengthy and contentious, but informative, discussion\/argument about all this, see this <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.agilebits.com\/discussion\/92040\/how-to-purchase-a-1password-7-license\">AgileBits forum thread<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-software"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17523"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17523\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17526,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17523\/revisions\/17526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
