I still don&rsquo;t really like the idea of browser extensions, as there seems to be no way to audit where they are sending my information.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s much to like in the new interface, however:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The non-widescreen layout is gone. I&rsquo;m now forced to view the items list in a narrow column, with a large font and a two-line display that truncates much of the text.<\/li>\n<li>Custom fields are now hidden behind a popover (&ldquo;Show web form details&rdquo;) even when there would be plenty of room to display them in the window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.agilebits.com\/2013\/10\/03\/1password-4-for-mac-is-here\/\">blog post<\/a> mentions 96 beta releases and 20,000 beta testers, so I was surprised to find version 4.0 a little rough:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unlike in 1Password 3, text in Secure Notes is not fully searchable.<\/li>\n<li>The pop-up menu for changing vaults activates on mouse-up instead of mouse-down.<\/li>\n<li>The multiple vaults feature is not supported by the iOS app (or iCloud), and if you move your primary vault the iOS app won&rsquo;t be able to find it.<\/li>\n<li>There&rsquo;s no good way to move items between vaults. The Item &#8227; Share menu looks like it will let you copy multiple items, but it only copies one at a time. You can export from one vault and import into another, but this entails writing all the decrypted data to your hard disk.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/learn.agilebits.com\/1Password4\/Mac\/en\/the-basics.html\">Basics<\/a> section of the manual refers to an &ldquo;In Depth&rdquo; section that doesn&rsquo;t seem to exist.<\/li>\n<li>The Preferences window simultaneously says that Dropbox is not running (with a button to install it) and that it is running.<\/li>\n<li>When I created a new vault, it continued to show the password detail pane for an item in my old vault.<\/li>\n<li>There was <a href=\"http:\/\/learn.agilebits.com\/1Password4\/Security\/1P4-security-changes.html\">much talk<\/a> earlier about the new <a href=\"http:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/08\/1password-and-the-crypto-wars\/\">Cloud Keychain<\/a> format that&rsquo;s more secure. However, 1Password 4 does not seem to <a href=\"http:\/\/discussions.agilebits.com\/discussion\/16289\/switching-to-the-new-cloud-keychain-format\">actually be using<\/a> this with Dropbox. Perhaps it&rsquo;s only for iCloud? [Update: AgileBits support has confirmed this.]<\/li>\n<li>It can no longer export to a regular CSV file, only to its custom JSON-based format.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Update (2013-10-03): Not related to this release, but I wanted to note: 1Password users who have an iPad 1 are now <a href=\"http:\/\/discussions.agilebits.com\/discussion\/12660\/1password-3-for-ios-5-devices-like-the-first-generation-ipad\">out of luck<\/a>. 1Password 3 for iOS uses the old Dropbox API that&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.agilebits.com\/2013\/08\/08\/1password-3-dropbox-sync-faq\/\">no longer functional<\/a>. 1Password 4 for iOS requires iOS 6, so the iPad 1 can&rsquo;t run it.<\/p>\n<p>Update (2013-10-07): Some users are reporting <a href=\"http:\/\/discussions.agilebits.com\/discussion\/16559\/revert-back-to-1password-3-from-apple-store-since-1password-4-does-not-work-with-dropbox\">data loss<\/a> and other <a href=\"http:\/\/discussions.agilebits.com\/discussion\/16408\/dropbox-sync-not-working\">Dropbox sync problems<\/a>.
