I think the developer, mSeven, is making a big mistake and they lost me as a potential customer. But then I learned from the forums that mSecure 6 will, like 1Password 8, be a subscription-only app. So, I was initially excited and was planning to probably buy mSecure 6 when it's released. However, poking around mSecure's developer's website, including their forums, I learned that mSecure 6 is going to be released very soon (possibly in a week or so) and will have support for tags and an auto-fill feature for Mac. I liked the user interface but it doesn't support tags, which I use heavily in 1Password 7, nor does it have an auto-fill feature for macOS. Then I found mSecure, which is currently at version 5 and is on sale for $19, down from its normal price of $29. You can only order items by name and I couldn't get the auto-fill feature to reliably work. Initially I tried Secrets, which only costs a one-time fee of $19. But I just learned, as has been posted in this thread, that version 8 will require a subscription, so I've spent most of this weekend trying to find a suitable alternative. I'm still using a standalone license for version 7 and I've been happy with it. I'm new to this thread, but I've been a 1Password user on macOS since 2006. But has everything I need and on stacksocial you can get the lifetime license for 30 dollar at the moment. I used 1password for 12 years and now that they kicked the support for local vaults, I decided to find an alternative. That should give me enough time to see how 1P8 compares with the competition in the real world and narrow down the software I would consider switching to. I've decided to stick with 1P7 until an OS upgrade or something AgileBits does makes it unusable. Bitwarden is their first choice among software that still offer a free version. In its December 2021 update Wirecutter still loves 1Password and it is the top pick for fee-based software. Sometimes I find that Wirecutter's reason for skipping something doesn't pertain to me. In many cases it doesn't require a lot of reading to get the gist of it. Wirecutter also tends to inform readers why they like/dislike a product, more or less info provided depending on where it falls in the rankings. "The Competition" section is where most of that info is available. One reason Wirecutter is helpful is because it provides links for many competing products, which makes it easy to access the websites without having to do multiple Internet searches. Like many review websites, Wirecutter makes money from affiliate links and it is getting harder to find even "editorial" reviews that don't go that route. I'm not saying that it is the best review source but it's often the best place to start for me. Wirecutter, the New York Times product review website, is usually the first place I go to for reviews.
