🎉🥂 Happy 1Password Updates for the New Year!

I have sympathy for anyone using anything other than 1Password and losing sleep over their security. If you have a friend or colleague who’s limping along with another service or nothing at all, you can be their hero and introduce them to 1Password.

Getting started is easy – you can share our welcome page with them for all the details, and our lovely customer support team is ready to help them every step of the way.

Even more exciting? If they have a password manager already and email us their current invoice, we’ll give them full credit for their remaining balance. You can share our Switch to 1Password page with them or by all means reply to this email directly and we can help.

Your friends will love the better experience, will sleep better with the best security, and with a full trade-in credit they have nothing to lose.

Thank you for spreading the good news about 1Password. We wouldn’t be here without heroes like you.♥

There were many cool things that happened in 2022 that I didn’t have a chance to share with you yet. So let’s fix that now with a whirlwind roundup.

The biggest news is 1Password 8 for iOS, iPadOS, and Android has been released. It’s an entirely new app so you’ll want to grab the latest 1Password from the App Store. See Roo’s^[2] post for all the details:

Say hello to 1Password 8 for iOS and Android

There’s a lot to love here. I adore the kickoff video and all-new Watchtower experience, and what makes me the most excited is we now have 1Password 8 published on every platform, including Apple Watch. This was a huge lift from the entire team and I’m so excited to be entering 2023 with our new apps available for all of our customers.

Another thing that brought me joy is our new Sign in with feature in the browser. Now when you use a social account like Twitter or Facebook to login in to a website, 1Password will remember that for you. It takes the guesswork out of remembering which account you used when you go to sign in.

Sign in with Google, Apple, and other providers… and save it in 1Password

Oh and you can now include files and documents in items you share. It’ll make working with accountants so much easier during tax season this year. I’ll touch on this more in my next newsletter.

And for the developers and technical software folks among us, we have a ton of updates and new features available for you:

• Sign your Git commits with 1Password
• Unlock any CLI using biometrics with 1Password Shell Plugins
• Go ahead, delete your .env.example file
• Community spotlight: Extending 1Password for JetBrains users
• Introducing 1Password for Visual Studio Code

Don’t worry, if VSCode, git, and environment config files don’t ring a bell for you, you can happily ignore this section. If they do resonate, one of the best ways to see how these features can fit into your workflow is in this post from Jack who used the 1Password CLI to make managing his DNS easier.

Our 2023 planning is just finishing up and it’s going to be an incredible year for 1Password. I can’t share everything just yet though one of the things I’m most excited about is passwordless.

What is passwordless? Well it’s many things, but in a nutshell it’s a new technology that is going to simplify logging into websites. It will take years for everyone to adopt, but it’s so exciting that we’ve made several incredible investments into passwordless already as we see it as a critical part of everyone’s future.

We’ve joined the FIDO Alliance to help keep the future of passwordless open and accessible to all, acquired Passage to accelerate the adoption of passwordless everywhere, and created a demo site to show off how a passwordless future could look in 1Password:

The passwordless experience you deserve

There’s a ton of excitement and plans around passwordless and it’s only one of many things we’re working on this year. I’m looking forward to being able to share more with you as the year progresses.

Take care and have an amazing 2023! As always please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. You can reply directly to this email or stop by our 1Password support community to say hello. 👋
