Overview

• 1Password's new 'Nearby Items' feature allows users to associate saved credentials with specific physical locations for quicker access.
• The feature works by surfacing relevant items in the app's home tab when users are near the associated location, such as medical documents at a doctor's office or Wi-Fi credentials at a gym.
• Users can add location data to new or existing items in their vault through a map view or by dropping a pin at the desired location.
• 1Password ensures privacy by processing location data locally on the device, with no storage or sharing of location information outside the app.
• The feature is optional and can be disabled at any time, and it is now available to all 1Password customers following successful testing in the app's experimental labs.
