> 1Password got famous for building a great core product. It managed my logins I stored myself and autofilled them wherever I needed. It was clean and simple. Now they are so focused on growth and Product features like this that they have completely lost their way.

The issue is, the "core product" has been Sherlocked - i.e. is now an included feature on many operating systems and browsers. Apple's iCloud password manager is available on all Apple platforms plus on Windows. Android/Chrome and Windows are improving their in-built password managers as well.

So 1Password, as a business, has to pivot to selling to businesses, which is where they expect most of their revenue to come from. This has resulted in individual customers being sidelined, so perhaps you should switch to one of the free inbuilt alternatives.
