Well, until they intentionally break something like the 1password4 integration with the browser extention. And after asking why it broke they say: sorry you're out of luck but here is a shining new subscription just for you.
Now you're forced to buy the new version just for the integration that has always worked fine.
As far as I remember, I've paid for several versions and upgrades until they forced their crappy subscription service on us.
Not sure about OP but I can see a clearly dark pattern by hiding the non subscription option to the point where I had to google how to acquire one. At this point I simply gave up and choose other option.
If I have to pay yearly at least bitwarden gives me fair price and comparable service. Maybe 1pass is better than bitwarden but it's certainly not 4x better.
