Learn more here: this video we check out 1Password 7. This is a new update to 1Password for Mac that includes a brand new design and t. 1Password 7 combines the main app and 1Password mini into a single process, which eliminates connection issues and provides a secure and reliable communication channel. 1Password version 7.7 introduces support for macOS Big Sur and features like Apple Watch Unlock. One of our most highly requested features, Apple Watch can now unlock 1Password on any Mac with a Secure Enclave. If you’re using macOS 10.15 or later and using the latest devices, you’ll now see an option in 1Password preferences to turn on Unlock with Apple Watch alongside the Touch ID option.
1Password, one of the most popular password management services, has been updated for macOS Big Sur today, adding several new features that take advantage of the new capabilities of the operating system.
7.8k members in the 1Password community. 1Password is the award-winning password manager designed to make your life easier, and /r/1Password is the Press J to jump to the feed. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Then, you can select whether you want to update macOS from Catalina to Big Sur (or Big Sur to Big Sur if you are switching from a different patcher) or do a clean install of Big Sur (currently unavailable). After that, your Mac will start downloading @barrykn's micropatcher for kexts and a couple other resources.
Chief among those is the option to use your Apple Watch to unlock 1Password: if enabled, you’ll get a pop-up on your watch when you open the app, which you can then unlock by double clicking the side button on the smartwatch. The Apple Watch feature doesn’t interfere with the usual Touch ID option for Macs that offer it — customers will be able to use either method to unlock their passwords. (That said, Touch ID will still be considered the “default” method.)
The new update for 1Password also increases its integration into Safari on Big Sur, allowing the service to automatically fill in your passwords directly from text fields on websites.
Lastly, the newly updated app features some light design changes that make it a bit easier to use (as well as a new, Big Sur-style icon).
While 1Password has been updated for Big Sur, it’s important to clarify that it hasn’t been updated with a new, Arm-based version of the app for Apple’s latest M1 chip Macs. The app will run on those Macs through Apple’s Rosetta 2 translation software, and AgileBits tells MacRumors that it hopes to have more information regarding M1 support in the future.
