1Password is launching a major update to its Android and iOS apps today. 1Password 8 fixes the design of mobile password managers in many of the same ways it does 1Password 8 Apps for Windows And the Mac It has been redesigned in recent months. The new mobile interface includes a dedicated home tab, which should make it easier to find logins, pin favorites, and organize your passwords.
The new custom home screen also lets you easily see the logins you’ve created recently and even pin individual fields from the login. You can also rearrange sections and add quick actions to the Home tab, and the navigation bar now provides quick access to search, home, and settings.
