If anything, I found myself letting Safari create strong passwords for me, which I then had to copy manually back into 1Password.
With the introduction of iCloud Keychain last year, Apple started providing a solution for strong password generation in Safari, which was great news for most users but brought no changes for 1Password customers. How many times have you skipped creating a strong password on iOS because 1Password required too much effort? The point of using 1Password is to have quick and seamless access to strong password retrieval and generation for web logins and other sensitive information without that, adding friction increases the probability of not using 1Password, which is both tedious and potentially dangerous. While AgileBits brought a more powerful extension and 1Password Mini to the Mac, 1Password users on iPhones and iPads were stuck with a great app that couldn’t communicate with anything else directly.
#1PASSWORD MAC 8 FOR FREE#
That changes today with the launch of 1Password 5 for iOS 8, available for free on the App Store.Įver since I started using 1Password on my Mac and iPhone in 2009, I had to accept the limitations of iOS (née iPhone OS) that forced 1Password to run in its own sandbox, completely separate from the rest of the system. For me, one of those immutable facts used to be that 1Password for iOS couldn’t be as powerful as its Mac counterpart. There are certain things in life that are resilient to change or that are bound to stay the same forever – February 29th happens every four years and some people believe the moon landing was staged.
