I imagine that a less technically-inclined user would have had a much harder time figuring things out. The solution turned out to be as simple as removing the old copy of 1Password from my Mavericks partition, but it took several minutes to figure out. When I upgraded to 1Password 5, Yosemite decided to open the main 1Password app from the new download, but then tried to run the 1Password Mini helper-which runs as a separate executable-from my Mavericks partition, resulting in a cryptic “Cannot launch 1Password Mini” error. I’ve been running Yosemite in its own partition alongside my previous installation of Mavericks-which also contains an older copy of 1Password. That said, for the first time since I started using the app several years ago, I had trouble installing 1Password on my Mac.

I’m glad that the AgileBits folks decided to forego a major update just for the sake of piling on new features over their existing software, and instead chose to perfect the existing user experience with a number of small but significant improvements. I have very few negative things to say about 1Password.

Even though password sharing is generally frowned upon in the security community, it is sometimes necessary when dealing with service providers that don’t allow multiple logins to the same account (a more widespread problem than you’d think, particularly in the IT community).ġPassword Mini, which sits quietly in the Menu and gives you quick access to your vault without having to launch the full app, has probably received the most significant changes as part of the product’s redesign. Given that, I hope that AgileBits will find ways to improve the functionality to provide multi-user sync in the future. Given Apple’s big push in this arena-and the birth of technologies like Family Sharing-I expect that 1Password’s sharing will be more commonly used. This has existed inside 1Password since at least version 3, but was rarely used by regular users, if only because online privacy and security issues affected just an unlucky few.
The ability to securely share passwords and other bits of private data. One feature that I think will get more use is Of note, the iCloud sync functionality has been rewritten from scratch using the newĬloudKit framework, which will hopefully bring increased stability to those who choose to store their 1Password vault using Apple’s cloud storage solution. Outside of these cosmetic changes, most of the functionality provided by 1Password remains unchanged-not a bad thing if you consider that the established user interface works very well.
Again, no paradigm-shifting changes, but a few nice touches that, as a frequent user of this feature, I’ve found very useful.ġPassword’s interface has been redesigned for Yosemite, but still matches its predecessor in all the important details.
In its latest incarnation, the helper sports both dark and light interfaces to match Yosemite’s menu bar, and can be quickly invoked with a global keyboard shortcut that makes it appear in the middle of your primary screen. The 1Password Mini helper app (which sits in the menu bar and provides a quick way to grab a password or credit card number without having to launch 1Password), has received more significant interface changes.
