1Password 8 for iOS released, adds Apple Watch support, assorted other changes

Software developer AgileBits has announced the release of 1Password 8 for iOS, the new program also adding a version for Apple Watch as an extension of its iOS app.

Per 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.

The Apple Watch feature also allows users to 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. 

The company also offered the following fixes and changes for the iOS app:
