1Password has been a heaven sent app for those who are either too forgetful to remember their digital passwords (or any password for that matter) or too paranoid that you need to change your passwords every week (as maybe we should). The latest update to their Android app, version 4.2, brings even more features, including a custom keyboard that you can use as your default or as a back-up, auto-fill for the times when you're just too lazy to fill up forms from scratch. It even gives you a time-based, one-time password for sites that have a two-step verification process.
The 1Password keyboard now eliminates the need for copy pasting passwords and usernames, or getting locked out of accounts because of typos. It will automatically or manually fill up your log-ins in other apps or web browsers on your Android smartphone or tablet. Or if you already have your preferred keyboard, you can just use it when you want to fill in usernames and passwords and then switch back to your regular keyboard.
Another important feature included in this update is the time-based, one-time passowrds (TOTPs). The name is pretty self-explanatory but we'll still explain it just to be clear. These passwords are only for one-time use and is usually used for apps or sites that have a two-step verification process for added security, mostly involving financial transactions or those with sensitive information. Once you've activated this feature, it will then generate these one-time passwords which you'll use to log-in, aside from your existing username and password. It will also be displayed in your login item's details so you (but hopefully not other people) will easily see it.
The update has also brought an improved help system and the usual bug fixes and improvements. It has rolled out to users on Android through Google Play Store.
