How can I get a job at 1Password?
Just wanted to share some info about switching from 1password.com (USD billing) to 1password.ca (CAD billing) that might be relevant to fellow Canadian users. With the current exchange rate (1 CAD = 0.70 USD), there can be some savings since you're not paying the USD-CAD conversion - in my case about $20 CAD/year.
A few important details I learned from support:
The CAD pricing is set independently, not just a direct conversion of USD rates
Switching requires creating a new account on .ca and migrating your data over
You'll need to manually re-upload any Document items after transferring vaults
Plan benefits stay the same
Step by step:
Create your new account on 1password.ca
Sign in to your new account
Copy your items from the original account to your new account (make sure to copy from all vaults if you have multiple)
Sign out of the original account on all your devices
Not a huge deal but thought I'd share the process and caveats for other Canadians either considering the switch or perhaps not even aware that it was possible. The savings might be worth the migration effort depending on your situation. I was also credited the difference in unused time on my old account and noted the 1Password Support team were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process.

I just received an invoice for my renewal of their service and thought that I might share this with you.
1Password is made by AgileBits, a Canadian company (I think they are based in Toronto) and way more secure than companies like LastPass (which have been hacked quite a few times in the last few years)
They offer decent family plans.
I am not part of 1Password: Just a happy customer for the past 3+ years.
I have been a 1Password user since about 2013. Back then it was the good ol' days where you would pay for software once and then use it. If you wanted to upgrade, you paid for it.
A while ago they went the way of most companies and implemented a subscription model, but because 1Password6 was working well and because I didn't like the price, I didn't upgrade.
Recently I updated my computer and of course Safari 13 does not allow the extension to work. The only way is of course to upgrade. So I went and looked at the current pricing structure.
I was disappointed to see that as a Canadian, the price is just too high. After exchange rates, this software comes in at about $80... per year. Sure, I realize $80 isn't exactly going to break the bank, but it feels too expensive for something I use only a few times a week if that.
If I compare that to other subscription services... take Microsoft Office for example ($115/y) the value for money is just not there.
So, I am trying to decide. Do I try out one of the other password managers? Do I stick with KeyChain?
Thoughts?
Not sure where you got $80 but if you visit 1Password.ca, the price is $3.75CAD/m or $45/year
Ultimately this is a decision only you can make. We've priced 1Password at what we believe is a fair cost for what we offer, which is the most secure password manager out there, with beautiful apps across our platforms and friendly support to help when things go wrong. The family plan even with just two users is more cost effective than two individual accounts and ensures you always get the latest version of our apps and includes seamless and secure syncing without the need for a third party like Dropbox. But in the end, you have to decide what is right for you. :)
