1Password 8 is now fully available for Macs, with a visual look more in line with Apple's operating system and several improved features.
1Password 8's Killer Feature Is a Game-Changer for Mac
This latest version of 1Password isn’t technically new, as it was released in early access back in 2021, but 1Password 8 is the “finished” version that’s been refined based on months of feedback. The most noticeable change is to the visual design, which uses a style similar to macOS, along with new iconography to make it easier to identify items. There’s also more information incorporated into the interface, with detailed views to tell you who has access to an item, and who else could gain access if you move it.
The new version of the app has also been streamlined to make it a bit more fluid to use. Autofill for passwords is available from within other apps, and you can log in to websites with saved credentials without having to open 1Password. There’s also an option for “guided experiences” to help you learn about features you might not be familiar with.
Security and privacy have also been overhauled in 1Password 8, using up-to-date industry standards like end-to-end encryption, stricter certifications, and more. It also supports biometric authentication (if your Mac has TouchID built in), and the Watchtower Dashboard will highlight potential risks like weak or compromised passwords.
