Hello,
just started to test the iOS app v8. It's gorgeous, at least as first impact from UI. For UX, we need some more time.

I used to have the watchOS app on v7 of iOS. Is this planned? I think is still something useful for Apple Watch users.

OS Version: iOS 15.4.1 (19E258) / watchOS 8.5.1 (19T252)

No worries. Thanks for trying out the v8 Early Access. 🥰 While we have you: we'd be interested to hear about what you're looking for from a watch app. What functions would you like to be able to perform there?

I used it a lot to rapidly see and use OTP codes using not-mobile apps, without unlock the iOS app. watchOS app allows to do that rapidly even if is is pretty rapid with 1Password browser's extension too. But sometime, due to how the web page/app is done (something that 1Pass cannot prevent in 100% of cases), 1Password browser extension is not able to detect the OTP input field, so I used watchOS app mainly for this.

The apple watch app absolutely has to show all details of an item rather than just the username and password. Also having the TOTP on the same page would be great and not having to unintuitively click the screen to switch bewteen TOTP and other item details

@1P_Ben I would like to see support for searching vaults by voice or "Scribble" on 1Password on Apple Watch. Coming from LastPass years ago, one of the few features I missed was having complete access to my vaults from my Watch, even for credentials I hadn't marked to be available on the Watch. You could still mark "favorites" that would be shown in a simple list up front for quick access, but all of your credentials are searchable on their Watch app.

With the Series 7 adding its own QuickPath keyboard, that adds yet another input method that would make vault search more practical and viable on Apple Watch.

Another request: Can you show the QR code for Wi-Fi credentials? I'd love to be able to show the QR code for my guest Wi-Fi to someone on my watch and just have them seamlessly scan it with their phone to connect.

For those who aren't already aware, you can generate your own QR codes that contain the SSID and passphrase, which Apple's built-in camera and QR scanner will accept and simply input. There are some Android camera/QR scanner apps that will also read these QR codes. https://qifi.org

Ooh..., I like @1bvr's idea of the QR code for Wi-Fi. That would be AWESOME!

Agree that TOTP codes are my primary use for the Watch app.

The QR code idea for WiFi passwords is great.

hey 1Password team, how about Apple Watch app for Version 8? Will this come later - or won't?

Thanks everyone for sharing what you'd like to see from 1Password in terms of Apple Watch. We do plan to have an Apple Watch app for 1Password 8. I couldn't say when or exactly what that'll look like, but we're continuing to gather feedback and hopefully we can address a lot of what folks are looking for. 😊
