1Password: same great taste, new price

I am also having trouble learning how to use it. Any tips?

I got an email today stating it was the author's birthday. They took 40% off the price. I got 1Password for 19.99. I think thats a bargain and I highly recommend the product. I use Roboform for Windows so this is a great replacement.

Thats cool and answers my question. But I cant let myself accept my passwords are out there somewhere even with their security and confidentiality assurances. Especially when we are talking about bank accounts and whatnot. Difficult to make that leap.

This looks cool, but what happens when you need to log onto something and you are away from your own computer? You wont be able to remember your passwords because pswd1 has been doing it for you.

Isn't this the same update that you wrote about on 19 March?

I waited for a while to install it after getting it in a Heist, but it's awesome. I love the password auto-generation on top of all the rest.

I recently found 1Password, and ended up buying is almost solely because of the iPhone compatibility feature. SplashID was really the last thing I still missed from my prior palm device, and have found 1P to be a very good replacement for it.

I've since come to really appreciate 1P's other features.

I was fortunate enough to get 1Password for free in last November's MacGems giveaway and will definitely be paying for the upgrade whenever the free updates run out.

First sample's always free, as they say.

I tried it when it was free, and I still didn't see any value in it. It doesn't seem to do anything that can't be done within Safari or Firefox anyway, but it adds another program running in the background to accomplish it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't have that much need for a separate program for password management. The keychain works fine on its own.

1Password is the best application in its class and certainly worth the price of admission for many.

With applications such as iLife and iWork retailing for $79, I personally can't justify spending $35 for password management. I will just stick to inferior Firefox and/or Mac OS X's built-in keychain/password.
