Back for round two! After this I'm heading to bed so I can be up early to answer any other questions you all have
This is exactly what I wanted to see.
Put the cool shades on man, the new and shiny is pretty blinding
Does keychain access and Touch ID make apps like 1password obsolete?
Never used touch id, so excuse the question.
Not at all. I think Keychain is a fantastic entry level feature that gives everyone access to strong secure passwords. However, it does run into some limitations. 1Password does a lot more than just store web page logins (admittedly so does Keychain). For advanced users or those who want a bit more flexibility 1Password is a great choice. There will always be a market for it and there are a lot of our good friends at Apple who use 1Password daily
The pro and con roundup definitely changes depending on whether you're talking about Mac or iOS. But one big thing is that we do support Windows and Android. So if you're in a multi platform house/workplace we offer more flexibility there. The other is on Mac, if you use something other than Safari, then Keychain won't work for you. We support Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and a variety of derivatives (and beta/nightly builds of those).
I'd be happy to discuss further though if you have any specific concerns or questions.
I definitely want this to be configurable. I don't want 1Password to unlock with Touch ID in all circumstances, as Touch ID has significantly lower entropy than a well-chosen password. Touch ID would be a perfect replacement for a PIN, once 1Password has been unlocked with a master password.
In other words, I open 1Password, type my master password, switch out of the app, then whenever I want to fill a password I use the Touch ID. After a certain amount of idle time (or the phone is locked, etc.), then the master password would be required again.
1Password already does this with their master password and a separate unlock PIN.
See my previous message above, it does go into some of the security details but if you have more questions we can definitely address those.
We'll say more about this in the future. It's still several months away from release so we want to announce all the goodies at once
Hang in there, as we get closer to iOS 8 release I'm sure we'll post something for you.
Of course, if you have questions please PM me.
Very nice! Headed in the right direction! good, good, good!
I kind of want to respond to this in a Pinky and the Brain kind of way...
I suggest you post your concerns in
their forums or send them an e-mail.
Not at all. 1Password does a lot more than just storing your web logins and credit cards. I store all sorts of sensitive information with it, including security questions, software licences, banking details. iCloud keychain doesn’t work with every website, which makes it useless as a password manager.

While I try to monitor what's on here, it isn't an "officially" supported support medium so I cannot claim to be able to read everything on here. If it's important to you, get in touch.
1password extension ALONE will make iOS 8 worth the upgrade
That's the kind of positivity I like to hear
Hopefully LastPass does something similar.
I conceptually like 1Password but it's just so god damned expensive…
I like to think we're not that expensive in the long term. For example:
1Password 3 was $50 for a single user license. Many got it on sale during it's 6 years worth of free updates
$50/6 = around $8/yr. We charged $25 for the version 4 update on Mac for users who weren't in the free upgrade period, which was quite generous (all of 2013, when we released in October).
1Password 3 for iOS was a free upgrade for all users who purchased the original version (version 1). That was, what... 4 or 5 years of free upgrades? Many of those again purchased on sale. The upgrade was $7.99 for most who purchased during the over 1 month introductory sale. We did that to get users who wanted to upgrade plenty of time to do so at a discounted price.
That said, it does cost money to provide support and add awesome new features like this
We try to do everything we can for our users, including answering questions like this on forums that aren't actually our own.
If you're in a tough spot, PM me.
Won't apps like this become irrelevant when apps can access keychain? Don't get me wrong I used mSecure on android for a long time before I switched back to iOS, but apple already does this with the web, and if I am not mistaken this functionality was revealed at WWDC. So what is the point of purchasing a app like this when keychain will control it all?
As mentioned before, there's a lot more than 1Password does than keychain. See my previous reply above for more on that. I'm happy to dig into this more if that answer isn't satisfactory
Naowwww?
Edit: Signup link was removed due to immense demand. We're full up, sorry all!
Does require iOS 8, obviously.
