Confide 2.1: New Features, iOS 8 Support and Optimized for iPhone 6

On the heels of a major Confide 2.0 release just last week, we are announcing another update to our iOS and Android apps today. Confide now fully supports iOS 8 and is optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This update also includes an optional passcode lock for both the iOS and Android applications, and several enhancements that take advantage of Apple’s latest OS.

Passcode lock with Touch ID support

With this update, you now have the option of using a passcode to unlock and open Confide. And if you have iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you will also be able to use Touch ID for faster access.

Passcode lock adds an additional layer of security for Confide. If you enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, the app will automatically erase all data and log you out. Touch ID is yet another layer of protection that allows faster access using something unique to you: your fingerprint.

1Password Integration

In addition to adding passcode lock and Touch ID, we’ve also added support for the 1Password extension in iOS 8. You can now auto-generate a strong, secure password when you first sign up for Confide without ever leaving the app.

More Options

As we add more features to Confide, we also want to provide a few more options. With this latest update, there are now settings to enable/disable In-App Sounds and In-App Notifications.

Confide 2.1 for iPhone is available now for both iOS and Android. Download it today!
