1Passwd Beta Giveaway Winners
MacApper recently held an interview with 1Passwd co-author Dave Teare, where he revealed some tasty information relating to their future roadmap on the iPhone. Turns out, 1Passwd could very well be running natively on the iPhone.
For the time being, expect a “Web 2.0″ app known as My 1Passwd very soon. Following our tradition of giving stuff away, we decided to put 5 early invitation passes up for grabs.
It’s taken us quite some time to sort through all the great features that our readers wanted to see in My 1Passwd, but we’ve finally reached a verdict. Here are the five lucky winners who will soon receive their invites to the My 1Passwd beta.
- Securely store photographs and images (Frank Cantu)
- Automatic syncing between mobile and desktop (Matt)
- Automatically change web passwords on a regular basis (Graham)
- Recognize the login requirement without having to click a button (Mitch)
- Manage OpenID identities/share info with trusted users (Kerim Friedman)
A big thanks to all who participated and congratulations to all winners; you’ll be contacted as soon as My 1Passwd is ready for testing.
Can’t wait to try it out on my iPhone. Thanks, guys.

Congrats to you all. I’ll be trying it out on my iphone as soon as it becomes available to us regular 1passwd folk.
Thanks for all the ideas everyone! Starting XCode now…
Cheers!

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on where we are at with my1Password.
We are getting close to sending out the invitations and will send them in a few weeks. We had planned on sending the invites sooner, but it was necessary to tie the my1Password release to version 2.5 of 1Passwd and we have put a LOT of work into both.
my1Password is coming along nicely; another few weeks and it will be perfect!
Cheers!

Wow, it has been a month since I posted about my1Password! Time sure flies when you’re coding!
As I mentioned last time, the my1Password website release requires 1Password version 2.5 to be released first. 2.5 has taken longer than we expected, and I apologize for that.
The good news, however, is we are much closer now. Version 2.5 is now in Beta, and initial feedback has been very positive.
Best of all, the 2.5 Beta included a secret new feature: sync to iPhone! You can use the “Sync to iPhone” feature to create a Safari bookmarklet that contains all your encrypted 1Password data. This data can only be viewed once the correct Access Code is given, and all the decryption happens within Safari. Here is a post that details how it works, along with plenty of screenshots:

You can see we tried to make it look like a native iPhone app, even though it is actually a web page. The 1Password for iPhone bookmarklet does not require any hacks, works on both iPhone and iPod Touch, and does not require an Internet connection. This is possible because everything is stored as a Safari bookmarklet, including all your data, images, and code required to run the application.
You might wonder if this “competes” with the my1Password web site; after all the my1Password site will support iPhone as well. While there is some overlap, we have completely different visions for my1Password and 1Password for iPhone. The my1Password infrastructure will allow us to do many more advanced things. For example, my1Password will eventually allow you to create a new secure note on your iPhone, which will then automatically sync back to 1Password on your Mac.
Cheers!

@maryam: We did send out an email about the new 2.5 Beta, but obviously that is too vague a statement to prove the email you got was indeed the same email we sent.
If you are in doubt, please forward us the email to our support address (support at agilewebsolutions dot com) and we’ll let you know.
Cheers!

I just wanted to update everyone about the special my1Password prize for all the great ideas.
The my1Password web service was significantly delayed by the huge changes we made in the 1Password 2.5 code base, and then it was completely thrown off track when Leopard started shipping. Leopard stretched us to our limits and we had to neglect my1Password for a while.
Thankfully things have returned to normal now and my1Password is back on track! Today I will be sending out the early access invitations to all the winners.
Cheers!
