Con Support sucks
Support does sometimes does not read requests thoroughly, and offers ham-baked or non-workable sulutions.

Only icloud, wifi and Dropbox support.
Con Tough/impossible to get on Chromebook
Con Does not auto-fill and generate passwords in Microsoft Edge for Windows 10
The 1Password Edge extension doesn't work as well as in other browsers, as it can't auto-fill and generate passwords. Only LastPass seems to have a fully-functional browser plugin for the Edge browser at this time.

Con Not open source
Con Not free on mobile
