PiunikaWeb started as purely an investigative tech journalism website with main focus on ‘breaking’ or ‘exclusive’ news. That said, we will report back with more such stories as and when we get new details to share so stay tuned. It is still good to see that the password manager service is steadily evolving to meet the needs of current times as well as users. However, it must be noted that the $150 of credit can only be used on. So, those who wish to avail the said 50% off discount or $150 of credit just have to drop an email to with their license.

In return, users will get $150 worth of credit which would allow them to use the password manager service for over 3 years without worrying about the monthly charges.Īll in all, this is a win-win situation for existing license holders now that the service provider has ended support for the same. On the other hand, those who do not even want to pay half the fee on a monthly basis can purchase a $99 gift card. For such users, 1Password is providing a trade-in discount where users can exchange their existing licenses to get 50% off for first 3 years. However, there are still those who like to pay for a service only once and forget about it. Thus users can switch to a membership by signing up on, , or 1Password.ca and add their account to 1Password. It is only natural for such transitions to occur as monthly subscriptions have now become the new norm. Now, the password manager service is completely doing away with individual licenses in favor of memberships. Naturally, more and more users got inclined towards a monthly subscription or membership for 1Password as it provided additional benefits. So, 1Password 7 was launched in 2018 where users were given a choice between a standalone license for the service or a monthly subscription on. This further made software upgrades quite challenging due to their paid nature. Basically, the password manager service required license per platform and user. While 1Password gradually made it to other platforms, it still required licenses on an individual basis. Hence, the popular password manager service was initially launched only for macOS X 10.4 and required individual software licenses. 1Password first came out when monthly subscription or membership was not that common in the software domain.
