Popular password management app 1Password today announced a new feature that allows you to view logins, passwords, alarm codes, PINs, and more based on your location.
You can now assign locations to items stored in your vault, and those items will show up in the 1Password app for iPhone when you're near those physical locations.
So, for example, if you have work-related passwords in the app, you can set it up so those passwords will be surfaced first when you're at work. Or, if you're at the Starbucks, you can have it surface your Starbucks Rewards number. Or your medical record number if you're at the doctor's office.
Locations can be assigned to a 1Password item by editing the item and choosing the new Add a Location option. 1Password says that like everything kept in the app, location information is not shared, stored, or tracked. Location information is checked locally, so current location coordinates are kept on-device at all times.
1Password is priced at $2.99 per month for an individual plan, or $4.99 per month for a family plan (price requires purchasing a 12-month subscription). There are also business plans available.

macOS 27 Golden Gate is not compatible with any Macs with Intel processors, marking the end of an era. The update, which is currently in beta ahead of a release later this year, is limited to Apple silicon Macs with an M1 chip or newer.
Last year, Apple said that macOS 26 Tahoe would be the final macOS release compatible with Intel-based Macs, so this was an expected development.

After years of holding out, Walmart today announced that it will finally begin accepting tap-to-pay options like Apple Pay in some of its Walmart and Sam's Club stores in the U.S. starting Monday, August 24. The retailer plans to roll out tap-to-pay support to all of its U.S. stores by the end of 2026 and to its gas stations by mid-2027.

Ye I’m not trusting 1Password with my location constantly. I’d barely be using the app after they changed to subscription model and I had to make a complaint to get my account back after paying full price. Sketchy company. Apples passwords app does everything I need it to do, it’s so good.
I loved it before and paid for a license. But I feel they became to greedy with the subscription. Im fine paying once, but not monthly. The only software I really can't replace is Adobes suit and Office.
Why is it greedy? It's a service (e.g. cloud services) that runs in perpetuity, right? Isn't it better they just charge you directly via a subscription other than estimating your lifetime usage with a large upfront fee (which, if wrong, may cause the company to fail... or otherwise overcharge you)?
Call me paranoid, but I don’t really trust any Password app with my location data other than Apple passwords. That being said, I can see the usefulness of the feature though.
