1Password 8 for Apple Watch Released – Includes New Features and Complications

AgileBits has announced the release of 1Password 8 for Apple Watch, completing the rollout of the new version of its password manager that is available on most popular device platforms.

From the AgileBits blog post:

1Password now offers complications you can configure for quick access to nearly any kind of information from your 1Password account. Need to keep your booking code handy while traveling? Add it as a complication to your current watch face so you can get to it in a single tap. Always logging into a particular account for work that needs a two-factor code? Pin it to your watch face for at-a-glance access.

In addition to the new complications, 1Password for Apple Watch lets users view custom fields (including multi-line notes) and custom item icons. Users can designate individual items in their 1Password account using their ‌iPhone‌ to have them sync securely to Apple Watch.

From the App Store:
