They decided to put many into marketing in the F1.\n\nWell... no... Autoupdate feature on Windows is bad, the app tells you there's an update pending, that will take place once you restart it... you hit \"restart now\", it closes 1password and then it does nothing...\n\nYou open 1password again, and it says \"there's an update pending, it will be installed next time you restart the app\", which is not true, and also fails to install if you select \"restart now\".\n\nConsidering Bitwarden is 20 USD per year, I'm really going to consider switching it when my annual subscription ends. Where's 1password's added value for over 2x the price?.\n\nThanks.",
