1Password 7.8.8
AgileBits has issued 1Password 7.8.8 with support for adding file attachments to all item types in 1Password.com accounts. That enables you to add a photo of your license to your Driver License item, a picture of your vaccination card to a Medical Record item, and more. The password manager also improves the Security preferences to indicate that Apple Watch unlock isn’t possible for Macs without a Secure Enclave, improves the types of concealed fields in Watchtower’s Reused Passwords so it no longer includes bank PINs and Social Security numbers, and improves the lock screen’s biometry interface refresh when waking from sleep or returning from fast user switching. ($35.88 annual subscription from AgileBits or $35.99 from the Mac App Store—TidBITS members setting up new accounts receive 6 months free, free update, 78.4 MB, release notes, macOS 10.13+)
It took me a moment to comprehend exactly what the file attachment enhancement had to do with 1Password.com accounts. I’ve been attaching such items as a scan of my driver’s license to a Driver’s License record in 1Password for a long time. A standalone 1Password account is the key. Users of the subscription version syncing to 1Password.com weren’t able to do this because of storage limitations.
