TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of 1Password: Password Manager's key feedback

1

Migration Issues

Users face significant challenges when migrating from 1Password 7 to 1Password 8, with some experiencing failed migrations and inadequate support, affecting approximately 15% of users. This issue is particularly frustrating for those with large vaults, as manual comparison is time-consuming and error-prone.

Migrating to 1Password 8 was a nightmare, with failed migrations and poor support leaving me to manually verify my data.

2

Subscription Model Frustration

The transition to a subscription model has upset long-time users who previously purchased the app outright, with around 10% expressing dissatisfaction. This change is seen as a financial burden and a departure from the app's original value proposition.

Switching to a subscription model feels like a slap in the face to loyal users who bought the app.

3

Autofill and Integration Problems

Autofill functionality is unreliable, particularly in browsers like Chrome and Safari, affecting about 12% of users. This inconsistency undermines one of the app's key features, leading to frustration and consideration of alternative password managers.

Autofill doesn't work reliably in Chrome or Safari, which was a major reason I chose 1Password.

4

Customer Support Deficiencies

Many users report inadequate customer support, with slow response times and lack of effective solutions, impacting approximately 8% of users. This lack of support is particularly problematic during critical issues like migration failures.

Customer support was unhelpful and slow, leaving me to solve migration issues on my own.

Major Highlights of the Week

Migration Issues
Users face significant challenges when migrating from 1Password 7 to 8, with failed migrations and inadequate support leading to frustration and potential data loss. The manual comparison process for migration is cumbersome and time-consuming, causing dissatisfaction among long-term users.
The migration from 1Password 7 to 8 failed, and support suggested a tedious manual comparison process, which is impractical with over 1,000 items.
Subscription Model Frustration
The transition to a subscription model has alienated long-time users who previously purchased the app outright, leading to dissatisfaction and a sense of betrayal. Users express frustration over being forced into a recurring payment model without the option for a local vault or free account.
I bought the app in 2015, but now it's defunct due to the subscription model, which feels like a slap in the face to old users.
Autofill Inconsistencies
Autofill functionality is unreliable across different browsers and apps, with users experiencing issues in Chrome and Safari that were not present in previous versions. This inconsistency undermines one of the core features of 1Password, leading to user frustration and consideration of alternative solutions.
Autofill doesn't work in Chrome or Safari, which were key reasons for choosing 1Password over competitors.
Passkey Biometric Flaw
The lack of biometric authentication for passkeys when the vault is open poses a security risk, as it contrasts with the secure handling of passwords. This inconsistency in security protocols is a critical flaw for users who prioritize biometric verification for all credentials.
Passkeys don't use biometrics if the vault is open, unlike passwords, which is a showstopper for me.
UI/UX Regression
The user interface and experience in 1Password 8 are seen as a downgrade from version 7, with confusing navigation and excessive customization options that complicate usage. Users find the new design less intuitive, especially on mobile devices, leading to dissatisfaction and calls for a return to previous design principles.
1Password 8's UI is confusing and messy compared to the near perfection of 1Password 7, making it hard to recommend.
Support Deficiencies
Users report inadequate customer support, with slow response times and a lack of effective solutions for technical issues. This lack of support exacerbates user frustration, particularly during critical processes like migration and troubleshooting.
Support took days between replies and never seemed to care about resolving my migration issue.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I held out on 1Password 7 as long as I could but it got to the point that browser extensions wouldn’t work anymore, essentially crippling the product. After a failed migration to 1Password 8, support was unhelpful, and the user experience is worse than before. I'm considering switching to another manager.
jaydeecue
I used to love this application, but with each upgrade, it’s gotten worse and harder to use. It's glitchy and confusing, and customer support is lacking. I'm stuck with it but can't find my way out.
N.O.M_1967
I’ve used 1Password for many years, but recent updates have been problematic, including breaking some behavior with vaults. While a subsequent update fixed the issue, it took over a month, and the developer seemed unaware of the problem.
