I haven’t had a chance to try the beta yet, and betas come with the usual caveats about bugs, but so far I like what I’ve seen a lot. 1Password, the best password manager platform, can be used as an independent application or as an extension on browsers.

I’m a fan of the Courier Prime font, which is one of a few fonts I switch between to write. You can also edit a vault’s name, description, and avatar from the sidebar. That should reduce a lot of friction if you use multiple vaults. You can drag items between vaults or onto the ‘New Vault’ button to create a vault containing the item you drag onto it. The newly-collapsible sidebar comes with enhanced utility too.

It has a more modern look and serves the purpose of focusing users’ attention on the selected items. I particularly like the new dark-themed sidebar, which is reminiscent of Slack’s default theme. It also integrates with the command line to allow SSH key filling. The company says there are more features to come during the beta, but what was released today already includes many new features and a refreshed design. On macOS: 1Password supports TouchID on the Mac for authentication and unlocking. AgileBits has announced a public beta for the next Mac version of 1Password.
