Master Password is now becoming Spectre!
A fully redesigned app with a modern new customizable UI, improved privacy, security and reliability as well as new features and systems integrations.
Migration is very easy: just tap the pop-up message in Master Password to copy your user over to Spectre.
You can keep using Master Password for as long as you like, but development and maintenance efforts will now be shifting over to Spectre and Master Password is no longer actively maintained.

To all iCloud users: We sincerely apologize for the bad stability that you've experienced in the past versions. Apple has a lot to prove with its new iCloud integration in iOS 7. Until then, a LOT of time and effort was put into developing a stable and reliable way of using iCloud on iOS 6. Your app should be a lot more reliable and should no longer experience desyncs. If you experience problems regardless, try turning off iCloud.
Remember: Master Password's generated passwords are ubiquitously available on all your devices even without any form of sync or backups and even if you somehow lose everything.
That is exactly what sets us apart from the flock.
NEW:
• Emergency generator: Shake to generate passwords without logging in.
• A step-by-step initial setup process.
• A new animated guide.
• Shake on Preferences to open Log Inspector.
IMPROVEMENTS:
• Much more reliable iCloud integration.
• Fixes with regards to screen orientation.
• Reliability improved with regards to threading and data access.
• More modern integration of social sharing.
• Subtle UI improvements throughout.
• Refreshed icon.
• All-sites now easier to access via modal list on bookmark button.
• Reduced the size of the app.
• Sort by recency by default.
• Font updated to Source Code Pro for clarity.
• Password prediction in type selection.
• Give a password strength estimation by time-to-crack.
• Improved navigation between locked and unlocked state.
• An upgrade-all button in the all-sites view.
