1Password for Linux 8.5.0

You can now search for untagged items using =untagged to quickly find items you haven’t organized yet. This joins our =vault:$name, =tag:$name, =category:$name, and =favorite advanced search scope options.

There’s a new Developers section under preferences. It’s a bit sparse at the moment 😂 and yes it is a little bit mean of me to tease you like this, but it’s something I’m incredibly excited about and couldn’t wait to share. Something cool is coming soon and I think you’re going to love it. 🤘

Other notable callouts include some huge improvements to export (you can select a specific account and the export now includes all files) along with improvements to the biometric unlock experience when opening the app.

We added support for changing vault collections within Quick Access. With today’s release you can now switch between them using the Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9 keyboard shortcuts.

By popular demand you can now add your 2FA secrets to an item by scanning QR codes from within the main app, in addition to saving QRCodes in your browser. Add a one-time password and then click the QR code icon to scan an image anywhere on your screen or from your clipboard.

While scrolling through item lists you’ll now find the number of entries being shown included at the end of the list.

And Quick Access now always remembers your selected account or collection, including across application restarts.

You can now view the history of items shared using our password secure sharing tool, Psst!. After you’ve shared an item you’ll now find a View history button in the sharing window.

The history enables you to see when you shared an item, who you shared it with, and how many times they have viewed it. You can also delete entries to expire the share link immediately. Here’s how my pie recipe looked after I shared it during Thanksgiving.

Watchtower banners for items with a compromised, vulnerable, or weak password now include a button to take you to the website to change that password.

A new Appearance section has been added to Preferences, allowing you to choose between light and dark themes. And it gives us plenty of room to add some customizations for the sidebar in a future beta. 🙂

Tags can also be deleted directly from the sidebar. This is super convenient and will automatically update all items that have this tag.
