I'm guessing this user is like myself; someone who _purchased_ 1password back when it was $40-60.
Yes, I appreciate the fact that they're continuing to support things, and I am glad that they're finding a revenue model that supports their team, but I very much like my current setup and still haven't upgraded 1password on my Mac past version 3 because I like the old model. Skipping updates on iOS is much much harder.
I would probably pay a flat $40 again for an upgraded version with a standalone license if such a thing were still available.
