Popular iPhone and iPad Password Manager ’1Passsword’ Gets Major Update

1Password 1Agilebit’s password security app 1Password has been in the news quite a bit lately. With the recent revelation of Heartbleed, the company dropped the price of both the iOS and OS X apps by 50 percent. Today, the company has launched the biggest update since 4.0 and it brings with it some fantastic changes that will make your password updating experience even simpler than before.

Even though it is not the most important aspect of the update, 1Password finally has the iOS 7 look that we’ve been waiting for. The program finally supports the iOS 7 keyboard, and has been completely redesigned to match the flatter look of Apple’s current operating system.

They are calling it the “Reimagined Edition.”

1Password for iOS is faster and stronger than ever with a better user interface for a more productive experience. Users can now search for logins from the categories tab, as well as under credit cards, secure notes, and more.

The app is now AirDrop compatible so you can send login or credit card account information using Apples near-proximity service. The details section on the iPhone version of the app is now easier to see and edit from.

The iOS Version also has the following updates:

1Password 2Multiple Vaults & Sharing



If you create multiple vaults with 1Password 4 for Mac or Windows, you can now add them to 1Password for iOS and switch between them in Settings. Great for securely sharing items with team members or family, or simply for your own organization!

Demo Mode is dead, long live the new Demo Vault
We moved our popular Demo Mode feature to Settings > Vaults. You can add demo information as a secondary vault to demonstrate 1Password without revealing all your personal information

Multiple Dropbox accounts – Have more than one Dropbox account? Great! You can now sync vaults that are shared from different Dropbox accounts



1Browser is better than ever



Our built-in browser is faster and more powerful, making it easier to login, checkout, and fill forms with a single tap.

One AutoFill to rule them all – Logins, Identities, and Credit Cards are all under the same button in 1Browser, similar to 1Password mini on the Mac!

1Browser now prompts the user to permit it to open non-http and non-https URLs, such as FaceTime call prompts

Swipe it to the left, swipe it to the right. *Ahem*, to go back and forward in 1Browser, that is

The 1Browser tab view got a facelift
