Apple Watch has taken the world by storm. There are other wearables in the market, but Apple’s brand adds heavily to the company’s bottom line. With the watch’s popularity, almost every app that was available for iPhones and iPads is now available for the tiny device.

AgileBits, the company that created the useful 1Password app, have created a version for the increasingly popular Apple Watch. This app can be downloaded with all the updates from the App Store. 1Password is an app that remembers all your passwords. So, you can login to anywhere with just a tap.

With 1Password on your Apple Watch, you will be able to quickly and easily flag which pieces of important information you want to be available on your smartwatch. Any trouble remembering any of your passwords in now a thing of the past – courtesy 1Password for Apple Watch. In fact, you can also send one of your one-time passwords or your credit card information to the app.

1Password for Apple Watch features are limited to users who have purchased the pro product. Once you make an in-app purchase, you will see an Apple Watch setting. After enabling the support, you’ll see “Add to Apple Watch” as an option in your item details within 1Password.

You will also be able to disable the Message Centre badge. To add to its features, the app remembers whether you were looking at favourites or categories when you used it last.

The latest version of 1Password requires iOS 8.0 or later, and is available for free on the App Store. Unlocking the pro features will cost you $9.99 via in-app purchase. While paying that amount for an app does seem steep, the app’s features make up for the cost. After all, it is all about security.
