In November, AgileBits announced 1Password for Teams, giving 1Password users a way to share passwords with friends, family, and coworkers. As of today, 1Password for Teams is expanding to 1Password for Families, introducing a special pricing plan designed to give all members of a family access to secure password options at an affordable price.
For $5 per month, a family of up to five people can have full access to the 1Password software, allowing them to keep individual secure vaults to store their private passwords and share household passwords using a family vault. 1Password for Families is available on all platforms, including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
It's never been easier to share 1Password with your whole family. There's no sync service to set up, vaults appear automatically, and there's an Admin Console where you can invite people and manage sharing with your family.
Every family member gets their own copy of 1Password, and their own personal space to store private information. With this, you can give them the tools they need to stay safe without taking away their independence.
Early adopters who subscribe to 1Password for Families before March 21 will receive a $10 credit equivalent to two months of free access, double the amount of secure storage for documents (2GB), and the ability to invite two extra family members for a total of 7 users per family account.
Customers interested in signing up for a 1Password for Families subscription plan can do so on the 1Password website.

If 1Password goes to a subscription model (this seems to be them testing the waters), I will simply never upgrade.
Everybody wants some of that sweet, subscription revenue. Most things don't deserve it - not that they're bad products, but that they don't warrant continuous payment and a 'rental' model for software. I think AgileBits are getting greedy.
I sync with Dropbox. I could create a shared Dropbox account and sync with that to create a family-wide vault.
A subscription model would reverse my opinion on 1password.
I imagine agilesoftware are feeling the effects of the no upgrade price policy of the AppStore..
I'm not paying a subscription fee of say $60 to store my passwords, secure notes, software license numbers on some
Remote server.
But I strongly suspect 1Password for Family ($5/month for up to 5 members of the family) and Team ($4.99/month per user) are precursors to Agilebits moving toward a subscription model. I bet we will see $3/month individual plan by end of this year.
For now, it costs $49.99 for Mac or Windows client (although the app is occasionally on sale for $24.99) and $9.99 for iOS "Pro" In-App-Purchase (for features such as multiple values, OTP, Apple watch, additional categories).
I think it's unfortunate that existing customers get only a meager one-time discount of $10 to move to Family subscription. It should be free for 1-year for users that have both Mac/Windows and mobile clients.
