![]() ![]() ![]() But the next version, version 8, is subscription-only and I dislike paying subscriptions for software. I’ve used the standalone version the whole time and it’s met all my needs. I’ve been using 1Password for Mac for over 12 years. Myself I dropped Evernote for Apple Notes and never looked back. If we want to keep independent developers alive we must accept that they-just like the rest of us-can't work for free.Īnd there is a good side to subscriptions: It can make you think about if you really need those apps or if you can drop them. Which also means that you have a better chance of there actually will BE a new version. Difference is you pay per month instead of when a new version comes out. It's no big difference from paying an update cost for a new version. The old version you can still use but it will not be updated in the future. But that is in fact the way it is for most apps that go to subscription. ![]() And if you don't really need all the extra bells and whistles that 1Password (and Dashlane and the rest) has, and you don't want to run Chromium on your computer then this is where mSecure can get new customers.Īs for the subscriptions: I too had that view before. Regardless if it is subscription or mot is costs less. So THAT is what makes me think mSecure has a niche in the password manager universe. 1Password will only allow their own cloud solution. So as I see it, what mSecure has that 1Password in the future will lack is the possibility to save locally on your computer, and the possibility to use iCloud or Dropbox. I can't really say what the status of msecure 6 is, since I haven't received any answer to my question to re-join the beta program. And to be honest it has come a long way from the first version of the v 8 beta. I am now also beta testing v 8 of 1Password. I have a license of v 5, and earlier beta tested v6. I'm glad 1Password 7 "looks like it's supported on iOS16" but personally, I'm not willing to take the chance that an Apple update breaks something with 1Password 7, unless 1Password makes a commitment to supporting (and updating) 1Password 7 until the accessibility fixes are truly implemented in 1Password 8.As for a re-written app: that will also be the way the new v 6 of mSecure works, right? And also v6 will be subscription. Much though it pains me to do so, I'm starting to look at alternatives. It looks like it's supported on iOS 16 from our testing, but if something does break it's unlikely that there'd be an update to it." I asked the question: will 1Password 7 continue to work on iOS16? Their In terms of 1Password 7 support on iOS, we're not actively working on it anymore. There is, however one caveat and for me, it's a big one. IN fact, you can even have both versions on your device at the same time. As such, if you upgraded and wish you hadn't, you can roll back to 1Password 7. The 1Password team indicated that they are aware of the issues and are working on them, but as we are at version 8.9.3 as I write this, I'm beginning to lose some hope.Ĭurrently, both 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 are available in the app store and for the moment, the vaults seem to be backward compatible. Anyway, I have been a long-time user of 1Password, I love the product, I love the company, and I love that they've been pretty responsive to accessibility issues in the past. ![]() IN addition, there are numerous elements which seem to have no accessible name, VoiceOver just reads nothing if you swipe to these. Specifically, sensitive data such as passwords, usernames, and credit card numbers cannot be read with VoiceOver even if toggled to visible. Hopefully next year Apple will bring its features more inline with those of 1Password, and I can make the jump.Īs many have already expressed, there are a number of critical accessibility issues with the iOS and iPad OS versions of 1Password, 8. I'm beginning to think that iCloud keychain is looking increasingly attractive. There's likely more niggles that I have forgotten. There's also far less available through the VoiceOver rotor than I remember being the case. Oh yes, and when you go to customise what sections are displayed on the main screen, VoiceOver doesn't announce the current selection status of sections. My guess is that these are decorative elements, but who knows. There are also many phantom UI elements which VoiceOver finds when navigating some screen - all you get is a tone to indicate that VoiceOver focus has landed on something, but a double tap does nothing. VoiceOver no longer reads the username, web address, password, and so on, even though they are visually displayed. It's mostly accessible from my experience, but some way short of the previous version.įor example, when viewing details of a saved password, login, etc. ![]()
