1Password, the best password manager, announced a new subscription tier this week. John Voorhees (MacStories) wrote a great summary of the new change for 1Password, and offers some insights into how this new plan makes it easier than ever for people to use 1Password across their devices. This new plan seems to round out the different options between Teams, Families, and (now) Individuals.
