1Password Gets an Update – Gains Native iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Support

AgileBits gave some update love to its popular 1Password app for iOS today, bumping it up to version 5.1. The update adds support for the larger screens of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, displaying more information on the screens of those two devices.

The update also adds improved Touch ID and PIN functionality. (The Auto-Lock timeout will now function across both the Master Password and Touch ID/PIN Code, removing the confusion the separate settings caused.)
