Nearby Items Feature

1Password has added a new feature that enables users to tag their entries with physical locations. This feature, called 'nearby items,' allows users to quickly access relevant information when they are near a specific location. For example, a user can tag their workplace door code or health records at a doctor's office, and when they are near that location, the information will be surfaced in the 1Password mobile app.

The feature is designed to make it easier for users to access the information they need when they need it, without having to search for it or remember exactly what they named an account. Location information can be added to any new or existing item in a 1Password vault, and the app has also been updated with a map view for setting and viewing the locations of items.

1Password has emphasized that privacy and security are paramount, and that a user's location coordinates are only used locally and do not leave the device. This means that users can trust that their location data is safe and secure.

The nearby items feature is available to 1Password customers starting today, and it is expected to be a useful tool for anyone who needs to access sensitive information on the go.
