Hi @Samtheman67,
1Password 4 for iOS will receive a free update for iOS 8, which will work on any iOS device, including the iPhone 6. :)

@JasperP, I also came here to discover whether this Friday, when I pick-up my iPhone 6, which will come with iOS 8 pre-installed, I should restore the current copy of 1Password for iOS and have it connect to my vault (which is hosted on Dropbox). The last thing I would want to happen is have my vault messed up. Of course, I will back-up my 1Password vaults before the switch.
While advice to "Stay tuned!" is tantalizing, it's not really helpful with respect to the decisions that your many customers who are using iOS 7 now will have to face on Friday morning.
I know that Agile has a beta version of the iOS app out there, for which iOS 8 is a requirement. If it should be the case that the new version of 1Password for iOS is not available by Friday morning, should I attempt to get access to the beta version, install it on the iPhone 6, and only then access my vault? Or will the current version of the app be OK to run on the new OS?

And a related question, will you be able to use Touch ID to enter your Master Password in the iOS 8 version of 1Password?

Touch ID replaces the PIN? That's virtually useless. It's typing the master password that's the pain on the iPhone keyboard, not the numeric PIN, which is easy. I hope this isn't the real answer.

Seems like from the 'freeware' post's KB article that this is NOT the case, and that Touch ID actually unlocks the app, as I had thought. Be nice if people would post the correct info on the new app! The new version sounds great, and I'm looking forward to upgrading to iOS 8 and to my new iPhone on Friday!

@leesweet chrisdj, who works for AgileBits, did post correct information. Direct from the Touch ID FAQ:
I have Touch ID enabled. Why am I still being asked for my Master Password?
Touch ID in 1Password works in much the same way as the existing PIN unlock feature. It’s a convenient alternative to entering your Master Password, but it’s not an outright replacement for it. 1Password will always ask for your Master Password after a certain length of time.

Yeah, I went back and reread that and the FAQ... Since we can change the timers to be pretty much what we want, it's about the same as having the Touch ID be a replacement for the master password (most of the time). I don't know if any or all of this info was available before today, but I sure couldn't find it.

The FAQ I linked to didn't mention durations but I see from somebody who posted recently that they've set their master password to 30 days. Personally I'd be worried at possibly forgetting it if I was only being asked roughly once a month. It sticks because I have to type it in more often. Maybe setting it to once a day so in the morning you unlock with your master password in the privacy of your own home and then relying on TouchID throughout the day.
Just don't forget, if you forget your master password that's it, you're screwed.

To help with not forgetting, it is always a good idea to have it stored elsewhere in a safe place (brains are fickle, forgetful things). Also, this is helpful for survivorship should something happen to you. It's never a fun thing to have to consider, but we all die sometime, and we don't know when. If you have data that a spouse or relative would need, they may need that Master Password.
For all of this I recommend the Emergency Kit
