The most notable change is a new Upgrade to Agile Keychain window that opens on first launch for those still using the OS X Keychain.” The latest changes include:
- OS X Keychain users are now prompted to upgrade to the Agile Keychain on first launch. You can see this help guide for details on the automatic upgrade process. - Added Upgrade to 1Password 3 menu item to Licenses window in the Advanced menu. - Now showing version number beside each license in the Licenses window. - Removed the Copy License Key menu item from the Licenses window as older graphical licenses did not have a copyable key. - The Help > Contact Us now opens the gorgeous new support page. - Now resetting Agile Keychain location before migration. - Removed some old entries from the Diagnostics Report to avoid confusion. - Fixed a rare exception that could occur when switching between keychain formats multiple times. - Fixed issue in Generated Passwords where the Location field could appear truncated. - Fixed a license validation problem that could cause some valid licenses to be rejected.
1Password for Mac OS X starts at $39.95 – Single User license. A Family license costs $59.95. The software is licensed on a per-person basis (a single license can be used by one person on as many Macs as they can afford), in order to reduce the total cost of the ownership.
