Joe Kissell is back with an important update to Take Control of 1Password. This is the fourth edition, and a relatively quick update from the previous version. This was necessary because of the rapid changes in the security landscape, and 1Password’s response. Joe talks about what some of those changes are, because of both what the bad guys are doing, as well as updates to the macOS, and outlines new features that AgileBits are implementing to make you safer.
