I ran both local and subscription until I stopped using local vaults. If you use iOS then 1Password 7 for iOS supports local vaults and subscription. The concept, in my view, is a benefit to the company - not the end user.

Password management isn't alone in my endeavor to avoid the subscription model. Keychain is an obvious contender and I do use it on a very limited basis. I don't believe that 1Password 6 will be functional beyond Mojave, so I was hoping this forum thread would reveal more alternatives. An IOS version of Secrets is available, but doesn't support local wifi sync. Yes, i maintain two password databases, but once established, there isn't a great deal of effort to maintain currency. 1Password is the mechanism used to keep my mobile devices current by way of local wifi sync.
The subscription model, in my opinion, alleviates developers of releasing enhancements that make upgrades attractive enough for the customer to upgradeĪlthough my intent isn't a promotion for Secrets, it is the password manager that meets my basic needs and primarily what I rely upon. I see that as a loyalty agreement between myself and the developers. I have no issues with paying for version upgrades, when/if new features and compatibility are distributed. Secrets is hardly as robust as 1Password, but it's gets the job done and without the "pay for life" subscription.

Rather than upgrade to 1Password 7 where the subscription model was being heavily promoted (yet a perpetual license was available), I downloaded a copy of Secrets anticipating AgileBits would eventually eliminate the perpetual license model. I'm still using 1Password 6, on a Mojave platform. They overestimate my dependency a great deal, and only generate ill will with this move, as far as I'm concerned. I will not be bullied into the "pay for life" scheme. If it comes down to it - I will quit using 1P and move on.
1password export vault full#
a full up to date set of data resides on the local HDD - so if the internet goes does I still have access. Of note 1P7 residing on my desktop does not depend on the cloud - that's only used to synchronize the vault data with other devices like phone, laptop, tablet etc. I switched my online vault in 1P from Dropbox to iCloud some years ago - it works well. Meanwhile, OS X Keychain does a pretty good job (my needs aren't that complex) - and I'm sure it will be a long time before 1P Version 7 standalone won't run at all any more. Before 1P I was using a spreadsheet! Not as convenient as auto-fill - but it does the job and can be shared securely. I've had 1P since 2007 - if it stops working, I'll simply move on.
The writing was on the wall however (with all this subscription scheme developing over the last few years). It's more like - "we decided to force everyone using our program to subscribe and start paying us every month for the rest of their life". Given the overwhelming popularity of 1Password memberships “It’s time to say goodbye to standalone licenses
