I use Key Manager. It is easy. It is simple. And it is FREE! I don’t need to pay that kind of moolah!

I am concerned about the Dropbox user agreement. It allows them to access the dropbox folder on your computer. I don’t like that idea. I think I understand what they are trying to say, I just don’t like the wording in the agreement.

@James: Yes, there is an iPhone app! I don’t know much about it, not having one myself, but I know exists, to help with syncing.

get dropbox, place the 1password library in your dropbox folder and connect all the machines you use to your dropbox. install 1password on all machines and point to the library in the dropbox folder. done. there is an app for the iphone but i think it only syncs up... (haven't tried it, as i still dont have an iphone)

This works great on your local mac perhaps, but what should I do when I need to acces one of my password protected sites on anther machine?

Is iPhone sync an option? So that we can read the password from the iphone?

I bought this lovely application in Oct of 08, store my Agile key chain on my iDisk for cross machine sharing and have it on my iPhone – I extol the virtues of this program to all my mac friends and put it on a “reasons to switch” list for those other folks . One issue is that more and more financial institutions (several of mine) have two factor auth and other wonky stuff where their “userid” and “password” fields are not so identified in the html and not picked up by the plugin. For these I just make a custom form entry – a little bit of a pain because you don’t find out till after you login the first time and 1Password doesn’t catch it. Never the less this is an app I really use all day every day and would never be without.

IMHO:

1Password is not only a very nice app, their company culture also play an important role to make it “nice”.

They offer excellent customer service and very often their management staff will take part in responding customer’s feed back – which I regard this is very important for how to distinguish if a company can provide excellent product.

Thank you for the great review!

I agree with you about the aesthetics of version 2. Dan (our lead designer) has made version 3.0 look amazing, and I can’t wait to share it with you! I’m itching to tell you the release date, but my team has forbad me from sharing it as we don’t want to jinx it

Re: creating logins from within the main application, I see what you mean, we really should remove that comment from the default login template. I’ll fix this in 3.0. One thing you can do in the meantime, however, is to manually select Save Form from the browser extension to create the new form. This has the benefit of allowing 1Password to save more information about the page as well, such as field names.

Cheers!

I think version 3.0 isn’t too far away and they seem to have worked a bit on the aesthetics.

very nice app.

to push the price down: a) they have a good education discount! and b) enter a promo-code. you can use both together! (promo codes also works for family-licenses!)

Just a few comments. 1Password is coming out with a new version very soon (beta is almost out). This should clean up the Non-aesthetic design issues you were referring to (among other things). Also, it is possible to store your database on a DropBox site allowing you to span your passwords across multiple computers.

It’s also worth noting that they have an iPhone app which you can sync your passwords to so you have access to them on your phone.

1Password is a great app. After using it for awhile, I can’t imagine not having it. Otherwise, I probably would not have different passwords for all of my sites.
