You can quickly access your entire vault, Watchtower (more on that in a moment), and items you’ve either recently added or modified. The new Home tab extends far beyond Favourites (which is now simply an option within Home). In practice, this removes the inevitable pause in the user journey when trying to work out what to do next. In 1Password 8, the Home tab enables users to customise the first screen they see when opening the app. In 1Password 8 for iOS, there’s a new ‘Home’ tab, which is a very welcome sight.Īs much as I enjoy using 1Password 7 on iOS, it is missing a base from which to start, unless you count ‘Favourites’. That effort is clear to see the more you dig into version 8 of the app, be it on Windows, the Mac, or, iOS.Įverything is starting to look and feel very familiar across each device, and the new design for 1Password on iOS is both fresh and in keeping with the simplicity that has always made for a brilliant password manager. What’s encouraging, however, is confirmation from Fey that the team at 1Password have been “making a concerted effort to unify our design language”. This shouldn’t come as a surprise every platform has its own idiosyncrasies, rules, and limitations. 1Password is available on practically every platform you can think of, but the experience isn’t always that consistent. It also reveals the inherent challenges that come with developing software across multiple platforms. This has led me to a far more wholesome experience of Android and getting reacquainted with Windows. A unified experienceĪs noted previously, one of my goals this year is to take a look at what lies beyond the Apple ecosystem. Oh, and while this blog post isn’t sponsored by 1Password, I’ve worked closely with them to get you, my loyal readers, an impressive 25% discount off your first year.
And pretty exciting, because there are four features in particular that have immediately impressed me on the next iteration of 1Password for Apple’s mobile devices. Michael Fey must have been listening, because later that day, he published a blog post detailing the Early Access launch of 1Password 8 for iOS. While playing around with 1Password 8 beta for macOS yesterday (which is quite simply brilliant, by the way – more on that soon), I started to wonder when we’d be able to get our hands on a new iOS version.
