The email I got with individual plan went from $35.88 USD / year to $47.88 USD

The new price then is $4/month. From $3/month. (So still 33% increase, similar to family plan in OP].

I found it very cheap before, which is part of what encouraged me to get it in the first place, vs trying to do something free. Would I have signed up for it originally at this price? I don't know. But it's not enough to make me switch to a competitor now, or try to find a way to do password management for free -- so they predicted succesfully for me that they'd keep me as a customer. Even though annoyed.

Definitely can't go back to having no password management. (I also use it for TOTP and passkey).

If I was on all Apple/iOS, I'd probably just use iCloud. But I need multi-OS-vendor support.

What one actually needs these days is not something one can get a reasonable UX for free for. (unless you only need apple OS's maybe? Or only chrome?). There's really no alternative. I think they realized that, and that they were leaving money on the table. I got 1Passowrd originaly when I needed TOTP, and wanted something that was multi-device and secure, and certainly didn't want to host it myself. I don't know what else I'd use.

I'm building an alternative called Lockstep: KeePass-like local-first password vault but with build sync https://github.com/lockstepvault-hq/lockstep

Sync requires a server, however server does not see any secret data, it is only used to relay encrypted hash-chained ops log between devices. It's intended to be self-hosting friendly - server is single binary backed by SQLite.

It's project is early-alfa, CLI app, Keepass import and sever/sync work for the most part, there is MacOS app in progress and plans for a iOS app and a browser extension.

Not ready for production and it's not audited.

I'm currently using KeepassXC/Keepasium with Syncting, but I want a better solution - something that supports trouble-free sync natively and allows me to own the system

I'm going to follow your project, it looks good. It's "alpha" btw. I wouldn't usually correct but as you're posting about something you want people to look at you might be interested in a correction.

That sounds awesome, and I personally want to self-host nothing. I do enough of that at work.

Have you tried StrongBox? It uses standard KeePass vaults and covers the Apple platforms, sync the file with whatever you like and use any KeePass client for Android, Windows, and others. Strongbox is $25/year, but has a trial. If I remember correctly, the Windows and Android clients I chose are both free (of cost).

Note: no affiliation with the developer, I just discovered it from a post similar to this, having never heard of it, and thought your needs sounded similar to mine.

> After you set up iCloud for Windows, you can use iCloud Passwords to access your passwords in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox using a browser extension. You can also manage your passwords in the iCloud Passwords app.

Could be worth a try.

I haven’t use this on Windows, but the Apple Passwords extension on Chromium browsers (maybe all non-Safari browsers) is rather annoying. Every time I launch the browser I need to type in a random 6 digit code to link the session to the extension. As a result, I never actually close my browser and get annoyed when I see there is an update that wants me to restart the app.

I use passwordsafe https://pwsafe.org/

Sync the file to Dropbox. Available on all my devices. 2fa protection in password safe - yubi + password.

This is probably not the most secure system in the world but I've been using it for 10+ years. And it's free.

similar, keepass synced with google drive. sure it's on some platform, but if my master file is stolen I feel like it taking ~1s and 128MB per guess it's unfeasible for my file to be cracked.

Bitwarden, keepass
