Switched from a free password manager to a paid one and the difference is huge

I used a free password manager for about two years, but it only worked on my laptop. Last month, I paid for a family plan with 1Password for $60 a year. Now I have it on my phone and my wife's computer too, and it auto-fills logins everywhere. The big win is that it now checks my saved passwords against lists of known leaks and flagged three of my old ones. I changed them all in under ten minutes. Has anyone else made a similar switch and found a feature that really sold you on it?

That password health check sounds like a game changer. Was it just old passwords from like, random forums that got flagged, or did it catch anything you were still using for important stuff like your bank or email?

Totally agree, and @masondixon it actually flagged an old email password I was still using. The sync across all my devices is what finally sold me.
