They also seem to be very keen on promoting the workgroup and sharing features, non of which interest me. I used to use 1P, but like others abandoned it when they went subscription service (yes, they do a standalone as well, or did, but made it very hard to find). Links to info available online as well since for some reason I wasn't successful in locating anything. I'd appreciate hearing how others might answer her question. a subscription for 1Password but I'm open to reasons why someone in her shoes may want to go the latter route.)
