  1. [R4] 1Password 2/5 · US From Hero to Zero: Usually when you pay at the high end for a simple password manager, you expect better service. Since they raised the price by 33%, this app fell off a cliff. Support is abysmal despite no doubt seeing all these responses asking you to email them. Trust me, that’s another interminable situation. Has significant issues with Safari it never used to have. Cannot recommend under any
  2. [R6] 1Password 3/5 · US 33% price increase for long-term loyal customer?!: Just learned new price for 1Password increased 33%. Feels like a smack in the face for being a long-time loyal customer. Great app but pricing / loyalty team needs to an upgrade! Really disappointing :(
  3. [R12] 1Password 3/5 · US Good app and service, but: Genuinely, great app. Works well. Desktop app and addon works well. However, the price increase from 30 to like 60 bucks is ridiculous. Will be moving password managers.
  4. [R15] 1Password 3/5 · US Great but…: The app is great. I used it for years. But since they’re increasing the price it’s hard to justify posting for it when there are really good free alternatives such as Bitwarden which I just started using and is great.
  5. [R1] 1Password 1/5 · US 10 Years of Data Lost. Poor Support: 1Password, after an update that they recommended, could not recover 10 years of password data. Nearly six months later I am forced to rebuild this info. Email help only is not enough and very frustrating.
  6. [R7] 1Password 2/5 · US Unacceptably poor on Mac: Update: developer responded asking me to contact them. But I had already reported these problems to support without much progress. Response was either disingenuous or just out of touch.. Once THE pwd manager for Mac, now terrible. Often opens new tabs in Safari with "welcome" screen... why? Several times in the past year it was unable to fill credentials on sites. (Unacc
  7. [R16] 1Password 1/5 · US Just horrid: This used to be a great app, but it’s just lost its way. Long time user who has upgraded since basically v1. Would not recommend any longer. Hard to manage family, safari constantly loses connection, and the QR code to enable new devices no longer works for me. I give up.
  8. [R13] 1Password 1/5 · US Why do I have to keep entering my password to 1P every single time????: this makes no sense and support has not been helpful
  9. [R9] 1Password 3/5 · US What happened???: This app used to work really well but it has succumbed to the bloat so many other apps have. Basic things like finding a login are mystical… No search box unless you go to each separate category, for example.
  10. [R10] 1Password 2/5 · US Complex and counterintuitive: Tried using this for my family. Spent hours setting up and changing passwords only to have constant issues across family members, multiple devices and multiple accounts for same websites. If I can easily back away from this i will
  11. [R18] 1Password 3/5 · US Not easy to use: Still can’t figure out how to delete entries in the app. Why does it have to be so hard? Why does it show me SIX entries to eBay most of them wrong? How do I clean up this mess? And I don’t need this “unlock every 14 days” - dudes, there is more important stuff on my device accessible without this. Like via Face ID.
  12. [R31] 1Password 1/5 · US Not worth the complexity: The platform is too complicated. I ended up loosing access to accounts because of it. I would stick to Apple or Google
  13. [R52] Passwords 5/5 · US Esto se merece 10/10: Esta es la mejor puedes guardar muchos pasword sin problema me encanta
  14. [R58] Passwords 5/5 · US Still Learning: So far I think I’m liking this…

  16. [R64] Passwords 5/5 · US Help: This is so so so helpful because remembering my passwords is a struggle
  17. [R66] Microsoft Authenticator 5/5 · US Five star review loses points for lack of back up instructions: App works great. I had to wipe my iPhone and reinstall all of the apps. All of my app data was lost and I was unable to get back into some of my accounts that failed to reload when the app reinstalled itself. Be sure to have multiple ways to access your account, including a mobile number and email address in case your device is stolen
