1Password Gets Browser Improvements Including Biometric Unlock, Dark Mode, New Save Experience, More

1Password has announced some big changes to how it works in the browser. Improvements include biometric unlock, dark mode, and a new save experience.

The browser experience has been the core of 1Password since the very beginning. We’re constantly rolling out improvements, and today I’m happy to announce some huge updates that take things to the next level.





Highlights:
● Touch ID, Windows Hello, and biometric unlock
Our #1 requested feature has been Touch ID & Windows Hello support. Now, if 1Password is locked and you have the desktop app installed, you can use biometric authentication to unlock faster than ever!




● Dark mode
If you stay up into the wee hours of the night like I do, you likely favor websites and apps that do dark mode well. This update brings full support for dark mode to 1Password in the browser—and it’s never looked better.




And the pop-up isn’t the only piece that looks great in shades; our on-page suggestions also look right at home on both light and dark websites.




● A brand new save experience
Since it’s critical to use a different password for each of your accounts, we’ve made it easier than ever to create, save, and update logins right in the browser.

When the save window appears, you can instantly see everything that will be added to the new item. You can even adjust the contents and add tags to help you stay organized. In addition, our recently updated password generator will suggest passwords that fit the requirements of the website you’re on so you don’t have to worry about the details if you don’t want to.



This is even more awesome when updating an existing Login item. If you’re updating a login to use a strong, unique password or changing your username, you can see exactly what will change in your login before saving.



You can try 1Password for free at the link below. If you already use the app, check out the full release notes here and click here for instructions on getting started with the browser extension.
