1Password update fixes 10.5.2 Safari problems
OS X 10.5.2 threw a few curve balls at developers, and many of them are doing an admirable job of catching them with updates so timely you might think they were prescient. 1Password developer Dave Teare ranks high on that list, having put out an update yesterday that rapidly fixed the Safari problem that 10.5.2 introduced.
1Password is a favorite at TUAW, and it's possibly been mentioned previously for its time-saving, form-filling, credit card-remembering abilities. In addition to the Safari fix, there are several other enhancements to the application, such as user-assignable "restore form" shortcut keys in Firefox that should help keep my Services menu happy by avoiding conflicts, and an improved credit card fill should ease some frustrations with not-quite-filled forms and help speed up the draining of my available cash during the occasional online shopping spree.
So that bleeding-edge surfers aren't left out, the release also adds support for the latest Firefox nightly builds, as well as Camino 1.6b2. And improvements to the new iPhone Logins bookmark should also be welcome for those surfing on the small but oh-so-touchable screen.
1Password runs $29.95 for new users and the update is free for current users. You can download the new version (free demo) at the 1Password site.

honestly, I haven't noticed any problems on Safari on 10.5.2, but it's good to know they are fixed ;) definitely great support from devs there - they will get my money when 3.0 comes out ;)

"the Safari problem that 10.5.2 introduced." And what problem would that be? I, like the first two posters, do not know what problem this is and the TUAW article doesn't specify or link to what it is. Safari in 10.5.2 is working fine for me. I even went to the 1Password site and it also doesn't say what Safari problem it fixes. Can someone elaborate?

From the developer's blog: "1Password support for Safari was broken in the latest Leopard. The recent OS X 10.5.2 release from Apple included changes to Safari which temporarily prevented 1Password from loading."

I like to use Sxipper. It's free, fast, and well integrated with Firefox. It also uses personas, each one with different data. It's trainable and also provides OpenID and Disposable Email Addresses.

Typo: "for it's time-saving" --> "for its time-saving"

Dunno if it's just me but they seem to have updated the icon to a more Leopard-friendly one, too.
