I purchased a "Perpetual" license for 1Password 7 just one week before they announced the switch to a subscription-based model. To me, it's frustrating and feels like an unfair business practice. Why sell a perpetual license and then make it nearly impossible for your customers to get the extension for supported browsers and operating systems?

If I choose to continue using "outdated" software and OS, that's my choice, but at the very least, I should be able to access the tools I paid for. I also strongly resist buying into subscription-based software and entering what I see as the "Subscription Exploitation Economy."

I've tried downloading the extension "1Password-4.7.5.90.crx" from multiple sources, only to be hit with the infamous "Error 400." I even found official posts from 1Password staff linking to the file, but the same error persists.

Does anyone know where I can download the classic extension that works for 1Password 7? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since Chrome has Google's noodly appendages all over it, I wasn't sure if it was best to keep a 'safe distance' from the browser itself? (There's a bit of irony in this question since I've been using Chrome's password manager for years, so all of my logins are already firmly lodged in the belly of Google.)

Or should I forego using Chrome altogether? I'm brand new to 1Password (I just started a trial) so I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to what's going on behind the scenes.

When I try to set up the 1Password browser extension in Chrome, there are 3 options:

1Password - Password Manager (Most reviews and ratings)

1Password Beta

1Password Nightly (never seen this one before)
