Hi JosieNurseTN,

All fair questions, I'm happy to address them!

For the vast majority of day to day use and item management, I recommend using the 1Password 8 desktop or mobile apps over 1Password.com.

Assuming a stable internet connection, yes, new items and changes are immediately saved to your 1Password account and can thus be accessed on all the devices where you've signed in to the same account. This includes the desktop and mobile apps, browser extensions, and 1Password.com.

The 1Password iOS app mentions the Safari extension since Safari is the default web browser on Apple devices. I would recommend it if you use Safari on your iPhone, but the choice is ultimately yours. You can find more information about this particular extension here: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad

Looking forward to hearing any future discoveries or questions you have!

And thanks for jumping in to support, DenalB, much appreciated. 😊
