Summary

  • Password management app 1Password has launched a new tool which enables users to add specific physical locations to their credit card, passport or password information.
  • Using geolocation, the relevant details will then appear in a new Nearby section of the app’s home page, depending on the user’s proximity to the selected locations.
  • Locations can be added when saving new items or to existing saved items, either by being at the location in question and selecting it via a map, or by dropping a pin on the map when elsewhere.
  • Users can also specify the maximum distance they would like to set for the Nearby feature, or browse all locations linked to saved items on a map.
  • “Your location data is never stored, shared, or tracked,” according to 1Password developer AgileBits.
