Some third-party was billing me for a fortune telling service.

(A decade ago, I noticed a recurring extraneous $1.00 charge on my Sprint bill. Not that AgileBits will do this, but that's how you successfully execute lock-in. At what incremental cost will you finally decided that the huge hassle of switching password platforms is worth the extra buck a month? Probably never. The more likely scenario is that in 2019, the price is $4. But if they don't, you're kind of trapped. Hopefully they'll continue to produce great and reliable software. In the past, they had to earn my upgrade money. Nobody is against subscriptions because they don't want companies to have a 'viable and ongoing revenue stream.' They're against being held hostage. Maybe Dave Teare succumbs to his meth habit. Then what are you going to do? Maybe they get bought out. Hopefully they'll always, 'do the right thing.'

One central password repository that works across every device you own.AgileBits, move to subscription aside, seems like a great company.

It’ll work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac – but also rival platforms like Windows, Android, Linux, and Chrome OS. Once you’re signed up for a trial, grab the app to get started. (Pro tip: the same applies to lots of subscription services, so always shop around!) We’d advise subscribing online and then logging into your account via the app afterward. Note that due to Apple’s cut of in-app purchases, registering within the 1Password iOS app is generally more expensive than signing up from the 1Password website. This is by far the best value option and a great way to ensure your tech-averse parents and/or naive kids stay safe and secure online. There are also business and enterprise plans if you needed to secure a whole team. Beyond that, it costs $2.99/month for a single user or $4.99/month for a family plan that covers up to five people – even if you don’t live together. You can try 1Password for 14 days to see how it works. Get alerts when websites you use are hacked
