1Password is out today with an update to its Mac application. The main focus is the 1Password mini with solid improvements to drag and drop support, complex passwords, and search.
1Password 7.3 is available now for Mac and includes a lot of changes. Developer AgileBits noted in a blog post that it has been processing user feedback over the last year to bring thoughtful updates to the app, particularly 1Password mini.
As it worked on this latest update, the company had three guiding goals for 1Password mini:
- Show items that match the frontmost app or website
- Fill your passwords, credit cards, and address information into a web page
- Generate new passwords quickly and easily
Here’s the short version of the major updates:
- 1Password mini has been redesigned to make it easier than ever to get your information out of 1Password.
- Our all new “filling brain” analyzes web pages when you bring up 1Password mini and only shows you the items you can fill on that page.
- Dragging and dropping your login information into supported third party apps has never been easier.
- You can now select your accounts in the vault picker to see all the vaults in that account.
Here’s a closer look at the changes. First up are improvements to creating complex passwords:
To get back to your previously generated passwords, just click the menu button above the item list and select Passwords. All of your passwords are there, conveniently sorted in reverse chronological order:
Another major change is improved search for 1Password mini:
The last major change for 1Password mini is improvement drag and drop support, which can be particularly useful for native Mac apps.
1Password 7.3 for Mac is a free update for 1Password 7 users and starts from $4/month for new individual users.
