Extension Autofill
  • Nothing leaves your vault without you saying so — every autofill request now asks for your approval, showing exactly which site and which extension is asking
  • Import and export, finally here — encryption recommended by default, and confirmed with Touch ID or your V-Key
  • A brand-new password list — compact cards that open in place, and you can pin the ones you use most to stay open
  • Reworked for big vaults — tens of thousands of passwords load, scroll and search instantly
  • A sharper Firefox extension — a new "ask me every time" option, and messages that indicate what went wrong
  • A long list of fixes, from empty search results to the app's startup speed
