That doesn't seem to be entirely true anymore.

They previously said the current iOS app and 1Password 7 for desktop would continue to support standalone vaults and that a NEW SEPARATE iOS app would be released to go with the new desktop version. AutoFill still works, but they want you to subscribe to use previous functionality that worked just fine. The new Safari extension only supports subscription accounts.

So if you use a standalone vault, you're outta luck from now on. Warning: iOS app version 7.8 removed the old Safari share sheet extension that supported standalone vaults. The plethora of apologies coming from /u/dteare7 and everyone at AgileBits are becoming really hard to stomach. It can’t be that difficult to add the share sheet extension back, but that idea seems to be a complete non-starter? I’ve read /u/dteare7 and many other members of the development team apologizing for its elimination, and expressing regret at the lack off communication about its removal, but there have been no efforts to actually rectify the situation. Unlike many of the other decisions made recently (the move to Electron, deprecating local vaults, and elimination of stand-alone licenses in 1Password 8), the removal of the share sheet seems really arbitrary, and honestly comes across as a big FU to many of your iOS users. The frustration, and even anger that AgileBits is experiencing from this decision should be very concerning to everyone working at 1Password. I also find the excuses, that the new extension is so much better, extremely disingenuous when the extension won’t work with local vaults, and is also not compatible with iOS 14 and below. That seems to be a pretty arrogant decision, as it is obvious that a lot of users (including myself) did use the share sheet quite often. u/dteare7 mentioned in another long winded post that he and most of the dev team haven’t used it in a while, so they didn’t really see it as important. I have yet to read a legitimate reason for the removal of the share sheet extension.
