Developer AgileBits today pushed an update to its password-management utility in the App Store, 1Password.

A forty-fourth update since 1Password for iOS was first published in November of 2012, the latest version 6.3 editionĀ brings improved integration with iOS 9’s much-enhanced Spotlight Search, as well as expanded Voice Over support, the ability to pick a vault at launch, better syncing, updated translations, bug fixes and other perks.

The ā€œSpring Forward Editionā€ of 1Password for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch lets you pick which vault is shown when you launch the app. In the Vaults section of in-app settings, tap the Always Open To option to make itĀ launch into your favoriteĀ vault.

It’s now faster to find your 1Password items in iOS 9’s system-wide Spotlight Search and they’ve also fixed some issues with accented characters in search.

Improved VoiceOver support now includes additional user interface elements like the vault picker button and the QR codes used for 1Password for Families and Teams.

ā€œYouā€™ll also enjoy the improvements we made to sync, our translation updates, the bug fixes to prevent crashes and more,ā€ as per release notes.

1Password requires an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iOS 9.0 or later.
