1Password 8 for iOS and Android Released With New Design and Features

[MacRumors]

AgileBits today announced the release of 1Password 8 for iOS and Android, completing the rollout of the new version and bringing parity to the desktop and mobile apps.

1Password 8 for mobile takes into account customer feedback gathered during the early access launches earlier this year, and includes a new customizable home screen.

Users can personalize the home screen in several ways, such as by highlighting favorites, reordering sections, viewing recently created items, pinning specific fields from a login, and adding quick actions.

First seen in 1Password 8 for desktop, the new Watchtower dashboard has also made it to mobile. The dashboard is designed to provide actionable alerts and a holistic view of security risks and vulnerabilities, with a view to making it easy for 1Password admins and users to protect themselves by quickly identifying and updating weak passwords, inactive 2FA and compromised passwords that put them at risk.

An updated always-on navigation bar also allows users to quickly access the home screen, search for items, and open Watchtower or app settings. It also includes new item icons, typography, detailed views for items and vaults, and more.

1Password 8 for iOS is available to download on the App Store. A subscription is required, with individual pricing set at $3.99 per month for unlimited access across several platforms, including iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, and others. A 30-day free trial is available.

Ug, isn't this the version that isn't native anymore and is a resource hog?

 

[rKunda]

Man, I used to be a diehard 1Password guy. When they went to subscriptions I moved to the native iOS function, which has got progressively better.

Death by micro transactions. Could prob pay annually instead of monthly, but I don’t feel compelled with the native function working well.

I really hope that the latest 7.x release continues working in future versions of macOS and iOS. Since removing local vaults, I have decided I will not upgrade, as I do not trust my password vault to be stored in anyone's cloud, including 1Password's. It's sad for me, as I've been a customer since 3.x.

Who cares? It’s a password app.

@icanhazmac I've been looking for that version for months on my Mac but haven't fount it yet. I heard a LOT of talk about it, still haven't been able to find it. May have been a lie.

 

[MNGR]

Local vaults no longer supported. So goodbye 1p.
I will not store my passwords on the net

Version 8 is that version:

Understanding the 1Password Move to Electron

People are up in arms about the 1Password move to Electron on macOS. It seems like a bad call, but it is also a necessary one for older Macs.

Moved away when 1P went subscription, found Enpass, bought it, and never looked back. There are preciously little new enhancements and features that might justify paying a subscription for a password management app, and "maintenance" is certainly not one of them (or not worth that much).

Ah, and 1P doesn't allow local vaults. No way, José.

 

[TinyMito]

Love the app, it's nice. That's just me, and it works for my personal and work usage between Windows, macOS, iOS, and my GF's Android.

Sorry, if you have something against it. 🙉

What about the server hosting customer encrypted data? They are free to operate?

 

[karnac]

Sad to watch a great company destroy itself. I'd be a loyal purchaser if they still offered the standalone model and private vault support. Makes you look at them a bit sideways, suspect ulterior motives in centralizing our databases... 🤔

 

[afd]

is it a different app from previous versions? The version I have that uses a vault in iCloud won't upgrade to a version that needs a subscription?

It [Version 8] uses the exact same amount of resources on my MBP 2021 as Version 7 (within 3MB of RAM, sometimes higher, sometimes lower, which is negligible and within margin of error). So I still have not found the resource hog version. If you find it feel free to link it.

 

[icanhazmac]

Who cares? It’s a password app.

I care, I don't tend to like resource hog apps written in a REPORTEDLY bloated language so the dev can save $$. I'd gladly have paid a reasonable amount more if they hadn't moved to Electron.

I've found Codebook pretty much comparable, but without the subscription fee.

 

[iansfury]

I paid for 1P years ago, both on Mac & IOS, then sadly went to subscription and took away WiFi sync for my wife to stay up to date. Recently switched to Minimalist (read about it in a thread on here) and gave it a try. Native IOS, simple to import all of my 1P data, extremely quick, devs quick to respond. Currently no vaults which they advise they are working on. I purchased the lifetime to help them along with their future endeavors. Plus I can simply send the back up to my wife to keep her up to date until they release their version of vaults.

 

[sniffies]

For the first time in 14 years, I’ve uninstalled 1Password from all my devices. I have no need for it anymore ever since Apple Passwords.

Bye, was good while it lasted.

 

[incoherent_1]

I have been a proud supporter of this company since the original version came out… until this one.

The deception and downright lies about moving to a subscription-only model (by the company’s own reps on this very forum), moving away from resource-efficient design, etc. all pushed me away.

It was SO EASY to switch to Bitwarden I’m sorry I didn’t do it sooner when the writing was already on the wall. To hell with 1Password.

How you expect them operate with servers and the pricing then ? One time pricing is gone

Glad to hear it as I am still using 1password. Will probably migrate off eventually and use Keychain as I hate supscriptions.

"Your passwords are encrypted before you send them to us, we promise"

I actually don't mind subscriptions, as long as they improve the software, but damn I'm not gonna send you my passwords and keys. Add a local storage option.

This doesn't show live on the app store yet. I think Macrumors published this before they should have.

 

[Taz Mangus]

I am still using 1Password 6 on my Macs under macOS Monterey and version 7.9 using iOS 15. I am still using a stand-alone vault. I do need to use Dropbox for syncing between my iPhone and my Mac computers. I am going to use this for as long as I can.

They put it as a separate store app, 1Password 8
