on “1Password 8 for Mac is now in Early Access”I think people are missing the point a ton. This isn't Bank of America buying the naming rights to an NFL stadium.

Someone with decision making power at 1Password loves this park (or this area) and is using the money they've collected via 1Password to keep it alive and going. This is wonderful and I love it. It reminds me of how…
