The Best Password Manager Out There, 1Password, Now Lets You Use Your Fingerprint To Log Into Apps
AgileBits
Acting like a digital wallet, 1Password stores your personal passwords, login details, and credit card information safely away, and it helps you easily generate super-strong, unique passwords too.
But the best part of 1Password is how it speeds up the browsing experience.
With iOS 8's new app extensions feature, 1Password can now log in and fill in your passwords to apps and online forms with just one tap; no app hopping required like before.
Say you pull up Facebook. Instead of filling out your username and password, you're now able to swipe up, choose the 1Password app extension, select your Facebook details, and 1Password will fill in the rest.

1Password for iOS 8 is also the app's first move to a freemium model, meaning you can try out the app for free. The free version still lets you do quite a bit: You can create and edit logins, credit cards, identities, and secure notes, and it'll even sync up with 1Password for Mac, Windows, and Android if you're using another version.
If you've already purchased a previous version of 1Password for iOS, the iOS 8 version will be a free upgrade, and since you paid last time, you'll immediately get all of the Pro features for free. Freemium users can always choose to upgrade to Pro for $9.99 from within the app, but it's not required.
It's important to note that you'll have to upgrade to iOS 8 in order to use the newest version of 1Password, since that's the only way you'll have access to app extensions.
It'll be worth it though, and with over 100 developers already looking to integrate 1Password's extension, you'll soon find yourself wondering how you manually typed in your info all the time.
