   1Password 5.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   AgileBits has released [1]1Password 5.3 for Mac, improving how the
   password manager handles two-step verifications with [2]Time-Based
   One-Time Passwords (TOTP). Used for adding an extra layer of security
   when logging into sites such as Dropbox and Tumblr, TOTP logins are a
   one-time password that is automatically generated for you and expires
   within a short period of time. You'll need to first create a TOTP field
   for a login item in 1Password. After selecting a login and clicking the
   Edit button, click on a blank label field under the Section heading,
   give it a name (such as TOTP), and then press tab twice. Next, click
   the circular ellipses at the right side and select One-Time Password
   from the pop-up menu. From there, you can copy and paste a text code
   into the text field, or click the QR code icon that appears and move
   the barcode scanner that appears over the QR code that's provided by
   your online account. (For more on adding TOTP to 1Password 5.3, see
   this [3]tutorial video.)

   1Password 5.3 also now enables you to start FaceTime Audio or Skype
   calls from stored numbers in Identities, adds more Custom Field types
   (URL, email, address, date, and month/year, in addition to One-Time
   Passwords), improves date handling, improves 1Password's Brain for
   faster, more accurate password filling, and brings the capability to
   add sections and custom fields to Secure Notes. ($49.99 new from
   AgileBits and the [5]Mac App Store with a 25 percent discount for
   [6]TidBITS members when purchased from AgileBits, free update, 34.8 MB,
   [7]release notes, 10.10+)
