1Password introduces a feature allowing users to assign physical locations to items in their vaults, enhancing access to passwords and codes when near those locations. This capability, developed during a Hackathon, enables quick retrieval of information by simply being in proximity to associated places, making it the only password manager offering this functionality. Users can easily add locations via the app, view items on a map, and their location data remains private, not tracked or shared. This feature aims to provide secure and convenient access to essential information wherever needed.
