I just don&amp;#x27;t yet feel like migrating to bitwarden.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been using 1password for 12 years since I saw it on a tutorial on peepcode.com. I actually taught my mother how to use it, she&amp;#x27;s been using it for 9 years, and last weekend she was upgrading all her passwords to use 2fa with the QR code capturing facility.&lt;p&gt;We had to go find the 1password classic browser extension (something stopped working, needed to reinstall it) and that took a bit of doing. 1password is not making it easy to find anymore, and when she contacted customer support (before talking to me), their response was to upgrade to a paid account and store your passwords on a server.&lt;p&gt;Ugh.&lt;p&gt;Honestly, now that they&amp;#x27;ve raised this much cash, would it really be that big of an inconvenience or lift for them to give mac users a native app instead of the electron one and keep allowing legacy users like me to use 1password with our existing licenses and dropbox?&lt;p&gt;I think they&amp;#x27;d be able to hire some additional developers and product&amp;#x2F;project people to make it happen. Not continuing to work on the classic project just feels like a kick in the shins.&lt;p&gt;Now, I&amp;#x27;m building out my kubernetes cluster at home, and bitwarden is something I&amp;#x27;m going to experiment with as a backup, but 1password 7 works fine and I just don&amp;#x27;t want to migrate to a paid account.&lt;p&gt;C&amp;#x27;mon 1password, make your legacy customers happy!</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>jeffrallen</author><text>They should take 20 million, endow a foundation, and have the foundation hire a couple of their original devs to make a clean room, open-source equivalent to 1Password 6. Then those of us who actually just want a self hosted password manager, not a massive whacky cloud secret factory, can use that.&lt;p&gt;Sigh, what a stupid world we live in, where greed destroys everything good.</text></comment>

If they force me to &amp;quot;upgrade&amp;quot; to 8 and it&amp;#x27;s not a native app then I&amp;#x27;ll just use something else like bitwarden.</text></comment>
