AgileBits, 2006. Still the paid password manager people recommend without flinching.

## Why it lasted
- A password manager that families and companies both trust is a rare overlap.
- The UX is the moat. Competitors can match the crypto and still feel like homework.
- Travel mode and the watchtower features are the kind of taste you cannot sprint.

## Near deaths
- Apple and Google shipping built-in passkeys and iCloud Keychain. 'Good enough' is the long war.
- LastPass's breaches were a competitor's funeral and a category scare. 1Password gained the refugees.

## What would finish it
- Passkeys plus OS vendors making the built-in manager actually good for families and work. In motion.
