Hey there,
1Password has been my go-to password manager app for years now.
And recently, the company added a fantastic feature that'll help securely share login details with our friends and family.
Here's how it works:
Instead of copy-pasting a password over chat or the web, you can use the share option to display a sharing dialog like this:
You can then share the generated link with someone, and they'll be able to access your login details when needed securely.
This feature will be handy to share login details for a shared account like Netflix or Amazon Prime if the other person doesn't use 1Password.
A tiny but useful feature. Better than openly sharing login credentials over WhatsApp.
Now, before we move on, here's an announcement:
This newsletter crossed 1,000 subscribers last week. Over 1,300 people, including you, received this week's issue. 🥳
It feels surreal to see what started as a casual weekly recommendation newsletter grow to what it is today.
This milestone wouldn't have been possible without your continued support of this project. Thank you. ❤️
Now, grab a coffee, sit tight, and enjoy this week's issue:
