If that makes you think I’m a paid endorser, you’d be wrong, but there you go.Welcome to 1Password 7.0, the greatest password manager ever created. 1Password has sponsored my podcast, the Mac Power Users, for years.

There is a whole lot more thatyou can read about at the 1Password blog.

This latest version turns the dial up on all of those features making them more discoverable and easier to use. As your list of notes increases, tags can be a big help keeping them organized.įor some time now 1Password has made it easier to share passwords securely with vaults and their cloud family and work accounts. I hear increasingly from readers and listeners that do the same thing, and 1Password makes that easier with the new version, adding the ability to place tags on your secure notes. This adds a level of security for this information and keeps the information safe from anyone that otherwise has my unlocked phone in their hands. Putting that information in a 1Password secure note allows me to lock it behind the 1Password vault. As an example, I want access to my kids’ Social Security numbers, but I don’t want to put that information in something as ubiquitous as an Apple Note. All of us have little bits of data that we want to keep on all of our devices and yet maintain security. I have often considered the notes field in 1Password one of its hidden treasures. For instance, you will never confuse a capital “I” and the number “1” again. They even had a font created to make the display of passwords easier to read and understand. (Hooray!) Also, the overall design and typography are better. With the new version, you can use markdown in the formatted text field of individual password entries.
