OK, that's it, I'm going to give Outercorner's Secrets a try - I've been meaning to do that anyway, since I trust iCloud syncing much more than a third party, and don't want to get locked in to using a sub-standard non-native application on my desktop just because your market strategy relies on holding my data hostage while removing key platform features between versions.
(full disclosure: I also know the developer personally and have watched as he evolved the product, and since it has comprehensive import/export features I know I can get my data in and out of it safely - and without being beholden to a subscription that adds effectively zero value)
It's a shame, really, I've been using 1Password forever and have kept at version 6 precisely because I want to limit my data exposure and have a bloat-free experience.
