Asterex 3.0.9 suggests tags and smart folders for your items, gets passkeys working again and makes large vaults much faster. Organize • Organize Items, new in Settings > Data Management, suggests tags for your items from their websites and sign-in addresses, plus a smart folder for each new tag. Review the suggestions, apply the ones you want and undo in one tap. • Review Duplicates now finds copies of the same login saved under different titles, such as one imported from 1Password and another from Apple Passwords, and matches websites saved with or without https://. • When you edit an item, tap the × on a tag to remove it. Asterex asks first, so a stray tap won't take one off. Passkeys • Passkeys saved with Asterex sign in reliably again. • Passkeys imported from another app now keep their key. If you imported passkeys before this update, import them again from the app they came from, such as Apple Passwords. • Saving a new passkey asks for Face ID right away, and Save Passkey as New Login saves it in one tap. • Logins and passkeys you import now appear in AutoFill right away. Speed • Vaults, categories and All Items open much faster when they hold hundreds of items. Item pages open faster too, and swiping back to a list is smoother. • Deleting hundreds of items, or emptying Recently Deleted, now happens in one go instead of one item at a time. • On iPhone, tapping Search opens the keyboard right away, and × takes you back to the tab you were on. Fixes • If WiFi Sync, Folder Sync or WebDAV is on, turning on iCloud Sync now tells you which one to turn off first. • WiFi Sync no longer stays on in the background after it fails to start. • On iPhone, item pages no longer show an extra search field, and All Tags no longer indents every row when none of your tags are nested.
