Creator AgileBits calls it “our best Mac app to date.” Its user interface has been reworked to make it easier to use, with more information at your fingertips.Ī new Quick Find feature makes it easier to find the usernames and passwords you’re looking for, and you can now create collections that put associated accounts or vaults together in one place.ġPassword’s dark mode has also been improved, as has item editing. On the face of it, 1Password 8 looks like a pretty stellar update.
