Popular password storage app 1Password is increasing the cost of its individual and family plans. Individual subscription plans are going up to $48/year from $36, while family plans are hitting $72/year up from $60.
The password storage platform announced the subscription hikes in an email to current subscribers earlier this week. The new rates go into effect at the next subscription renewal after March 27th.
While this price hike is pretty substantial, to be fair to 1Password, the app hasn’t been slowly increasing its yearly subscription cost like pretty much every other platform. That said, this is a pretty substantial cost bump, no matter how you look at it.
Over the past few years, 1Password has added several new features to the platform, including useful cybersecurity tools such as phishing protection.
It’s worth noting that 1Password has a long history of offering substantial discounts, especially during seasonal sales like Black Friday, so keep an eye out for a subscription deal. I’ve been a 1Password subscriber for well over a decade now, and while I have issues with the password app’s sometimes confusing user interface and its glitchy Firefox plugin, I don’t plan on switching from it any time soon.
