Beta #6 of the year is now available

I'm not sure about you but here in Canada the birds just started singing and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a tough winter and I'm looking forward to planting in my garden.☀️🌱🧑🏼‍🌾

This is our sixth beta of the year and our headlining feature is a collapsible sidebar! This is something @ag_Gabriele has been passionate about and it turned out amazing. 😍

You can show and hide the sidebar from the View menu or with the Shift-Command-D / Shift-Ctrl-D keyboard shortcut. By hiding the sidebar you can dedicate more of the window to your items.

With the category filter and sort controls nestled right above the item list, you have almost everything you need right at your fingertips. And for those times you do need to switch vaults or visit Watchtower or your Favourites, bringing the mouse near the left edge of the window will magically reveal the sidebar.

I personally have a lot of vaults so I have always enjoyed having the sidebar in the 3 column layout, but I found this feature delightful during my testing. So much so I've kept it as my default.

Windows Hello has been enhanced to use the TPM, enabling you to unlock with Windows Hello after restarting 1Password or rebooting your machine. 🙌

This is a welcome addition as Windows Hello is so much more convenient than typing my account password. It's important to note though that Windows Hello doesn’t give us all the security guarantees that we’d like, namely it does not ensure that only 1Password can ask to access the secrets needed to unlock your account. To be on the safe side, this is off by default and can be enabled in the Advanced settings.

You can find a full set of changes in our release notes for macOS , Windows , and Linux. Or, select the What’s New item from the feedback menu within the app.

As always, thank you so much for participating in the early access release and helping us to improve 1Password. We couldn't have gotten this far without you and the releases are so much better as a direct result of you. Thank you! 🙏🏻🤗
