Hi, from one of your past https://blog.1password.com/wwdc21/, I saw that you are also redesigning the application for iOS. Since I haven't seen or read any big news for the Apple Watch app, will it be kept? 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided

Hey @simonemargio: Glad to hear you like the Apple Watch app for 1Password! I hope to have more details to share about 1Password 8 for iOS in the coming months. Jack

I second this. I hope the Apple Watch app gets updated sooner than later, because I don’t want it to be “forgotten” to the point they delete it. Also, I like the idea of being able to maybe “hide” a password on the Watch app, until maybe tapped? There’s quite a bit that could be done to take the Watch app to the next level.

Our community and other social media are great places to stay up to date on the happenings around 1Password. If you have not signed up for our newsletter, it's a valuable resource. Especially when you may not get to check the community each day. 📰 News about keeping your passwords secure

is the new 1Password8 iOS app providing at least the same level of support to the watch as 1Password7?

karlieeuh I'm afraid it does not. Just installed 1Password 8 and the watch app is currently missing from the update. 1Password's VP of Engineering https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/wk2pbl/comment/ijktw6r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 regarding this topic: We have nothing to announce with regards to a Watch app in 1Password 8. If the Watch app is a part of your workflow, please let us know how you're using it (you can write in to mailto:support+ios@1password.com). In the meantime, you can leave 1Password 7 installed on your phone to retain the Watch app on your wrist. I've been running with both installed for over a year now and they do not conflict. This is also what I am currently doing and it works fine so far.

Is there a beta we could try yet?

I certainly hope so as this is definitely a step backwards in functionality. 1PW, with it's now cartoony interface, has slipped from 'must have' to I'm now looking at alternatives.

Hi folks:

We’re actively working on an Apple Watch app and we’re very excited about it. We weren’t able to get it in the initial launch but it is coming soon. 🤗 Until then you can run 1Password 7 alongside v8 to use the Watch app in that version.

“If the Watch app is a part of your workflow, please let us know how you're using it”

I’m dumbstruck that 1Password’s VP of Engineering apparently didn’t know how the Watch app they provided is used.

It was used to look up passwords quickly without having to reach for your phone!

@mwil thanks so much for explaining how to downgrade. It’s more than just the lack of Apple Watch compatibility for me… I don’t like the new UI at all, and the auto-fill feature in iOS Safari is significantly worse in v8.

@Bond5000 You can go to App Store > Account (click on your Logo), then Purchased. You will find he old App there with a cloud symbol, you can install it again from there.

I will just downgrade to the old version, I prefer functionality to a new design.

Now this is a problem. I downloaded ver 8 deleted ver 7 and when I went to use the watch app it was gone. Tried going to the App Store to download ver 7 again and can’t find it. Not sure why the 1P team did not mention this anywhere. Not happy at all. Please bring watch support back. Any way to get ver 7 downloaded again?
