Start early access to password management software "1Password8for Windows"

Build in "Rust" language. Add the function of generating answers to "secret questions", etc.

　On November 15th (local time), AgileBits began early access to the password management service "1Password", the next client application for Windows, "1Password8for Windows". You can first experience the next generation of "1Password" applications.

　In "1Password8for Windows", the user interface is redesigned, the quick search box is enlarged, and the newly created button for the project is moved to the title, and the desired item can be found immediately. The sidebar has also been updated to make the design more colorful and easy to understand. The new "Watchtower" dashboard can easily grasp the integrity of passwords (weak passwords, no duplicate passwords, no compromised passwords).

　On the other hand, the internal implementation, like the Linux version, uses the programming language "Rust". Rust has recently attracted much attention as a system language to replace C++. It is characterized by ensuring memory security while achieving the same action speed as C++. Although there has been no significant change, the overall response of the app has improved, from unlocking to adding accounts and searching for items, he said.

Official version of the Linux application for password management service "1Password"

　In terms of function, through the improvement of intelligent ceiling and new password generator, it is easier to edit the project than ever before. The project editor has also become powerful, introducing the ability to generate security answers to questions as a response to the thorny "security questions" required by some websites. Data protection has also been enhanced, adding the ability to restore recently deleted items or restore incorrectly edited and deleted items to previous versions.

　In addition, the "1Password Families" and "1Password Business" accounts will be assigned to people who can restore the account if they forget their password. Integration with browsers has also been enhanced.

　It is worth mentioning that early access applications for other platforms will be launched in the coming months.
