70€ is quite expensive



For the secure storage of hundreds of passwords that sit in front of insane amounts of personal information, with support for auto-filling on desktop and mobile, easy syncing, archive sharing, and more...

It's really not that expensive for what you're trusting it with.

Edit: not affiliated, but it has to be my #1 favorite application on any platform.

I have all those features plus a proper web extension for $12/year.


What annoyed me and made me switch to Last pass is that once I had all their apps, they released new versions which I had to pay for, again.


Hi themartorana,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your love of 1Password! We love our customers and with folks like you, is it any wonder why?


Not cheap, but undoubtedly the most common paid app I use. For me, the workflow of jumping in and out feel smoother and saves time compared to other products I've used. It's only a few seconds, but to me at least, I stay much more productive and in flow, which easily makes it a cost savings.


yes in US$ 12 vs 40+ dollar for single user


$12 a year vs. a one-time purchase. Just for clarification purposes.


One time purchase until the next major upgrade, then you need to pay more to stay up-to-date.


Hi Goronmon,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

While it is true that we think it is important for our potential customers to know that we may charge for a future version of 1Password, we have only done this once in the 9 years that 1Password has been available. And that was after a significant upgrade from 1Password 3 to 1Password 4 when we rewrote the entire app from scratch.

Customers who purchased 1Password 4 for iOS have received free upgrades (including Pro Features) to 1Password 5 and 1Password 6. The same is true for our 1Password 4 for Mac customers, who received 1Password 5 (our current version) for free.


I'm still on v3. I have the family licence. I'd like to move to v4+ but I don't see a cost effective upgrade route, for windows, ios and android in my case.


Hi junto,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

For Windows you are eligible for an existing customer discount. Just go to our store at http://agilebits.com/store and click on the Upgrade button under the license you are wanting to purchase. You will be prompted to enter your 1 Password 3 license code and then you will see the discounted prices you are eligible for.

We have also changed our sharing policies to match Apple's Family Sharing plan. Now a family living in a single household can have up to 6 users on a single 1Password for Mac or Windows license.

As far as Android goes, we have put the in-app purchase on sale for 40% off.


Does the free Android reader app still work with v4 as well?


Hi junto,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

To answer your question, yes it does.


I use LastPass on Android, Windows and OS X, that means at least $80.


1password for Android is free for the basic edition. The Windows & OSX bundle doesn't cost anything like $80 ($42 atm).


You said it, basic edition. I use the Android app to edit and create logins and secure notes. That means buying the pro features.

And, until the surprising 40% sale, the OS/Windows bundle was $69, if I add the pro Android app, it was $80.

With the 40% sale it is now $48, full 4 years of lastpass subscription


Then by all means, please continue trusting a complete database of the most valuable information in your life to the lowest bidder.


Which lowest bidder?


that means there is a annual subscribtion? i can't find any indo about that on thier site.


Hi Isn0gud, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

1Password is not a subscription service. Instead we charge a one-time fee to purchase the app. That license remains valid for the duration of that version's lifetime.
