While the app is free to download, users who wish to unlock “Pro” features, such as multiple vaults, all category types, organizing of passwords with folders and tags, and adding of custom fields, can purchase a Pro membership for $9.99 via a one-time in-app purchase.
Fear not 1Password 4 for iOS users, your previous purchase entitles you to the Pro features for free. (The app will recognize this after you’ve downloaded the update from the App Store.)
Probably the most exciting new feature for owners of iPhone 5s, 6, and 6 Plus devices is the new Touch ID unlocking compatibility.
1Password also includes iOS 8 app extensions, which allows 1Password to fill in logins, credit card info, and other information in Safari, as well as third-party apps that add support for it. It can also update a login password if you change it in an app, and generate passwords and logins during a signup process.
AgileBits says the extensions already work with over 100 apps in the App Store, including Twitterrific, Pocket Informant, and more!
Note: 1Password uses Apple’s new iCloud Drive to sync data via iCloud, and iCloud won’t be available on Macs until the release of OS X Yosemite. So, if you currently sync with you Mac via iCloud, you might want to disable automatic app updates until both iOS 8 and Yosemite are both publicly available. Another option is to sync via Dropbox.

1Password for iOS 8 is now available FREE for the iPad and iPhone. [DIRECT LINK]
