1Password 2.7 gets a little sexier
I know we just mentioned the upcoming iPhone version of 1Password yesterday, so I'll make this quick. Version 2.7 (of the desktop variety) was just released and it adds a brand new feature: a fully keyboard-accessible HUD window which allows you to instantly navigate to a website and log in.
According to the developers, this feature has been In the works for over a year. It integrates all of your "Go & Fill" 1Click bookmarks directly into your web browser. The HUD window (yes, I have a weak spot for those sexy, transparent black HUDs) has a search feature at the top of it which allows for speedy location of the bookmark you're looking for.
So, please excuse the extra mention; I think this new feature is useful enough to warrant a quick note. Current users just need to check the auto-updates within the application. Curious parties can visit the 1Password page.

Any chance we'll be able to incorporate the click-'n'-go sites in a bookmarks toolbar? I've got all my bookmarks arranged in a highly organised toolbar and it works miracles. Would be lovely if 1Pwd would be able to provide something like it.
And on another note: the feature where you can wait and see if your login works in Safari is wonderful. Alas, I've been moving to and fro between Safari and Firefox and since FF3, it has become my browser of choice. Any chance you can incorporate that feature in there as well?
What a joke compare to RoboForm. What is this whole additional window of bloat? Can they just make a simple drop down window in the browser?
They need a reality check if they think this is as good as RoboForm's go-to-and-fill. The sad thing is, I'm a paying customer and 1Password is the best alternative for mac.
They're on the right track- but I doubt I'll ever us this feature.
You can do this already using 1Password and Quicksilver. By creating bookmarks of your webforms in Safari and having them indexed by Quicksilver you can launch your website and log in in one step.
The 1Password HUD looks nice, but I'd rather just use one HUD for everything.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the comments and feedback folks! As mentioned, we've been working on this for a while now and I think it's an awesome feature. If you think this looks and works great just wait and see what I've got in store for you guys next! :)

Great shame that the issue with the 1P toolbar icon, which doesn't appear in Safari when Stand is installed, hasn't been fixed.
That would have been worth a hell of a lot more to me than some HUD.
Seriously, 1P does a great job when it's working right, but it's one hell of a high maintenance app. I seem to spend more time having to mess around with it than I do actually benefitting from its functionality.
I can call the HUD by clicking on the 1pwd icon in FF3 and then select Bookmarks from the dropdown, unfortunately it is not showing up in the toolbar of 1pwd in FF3.
I reinstalled the plugin from 1pwd prefs window, restarted the browser and even the whole OS.
CMD-Option- does not work either on a german system :(
as is shift-option in german layout of OS X.
any suggestions how to invoke the HUD by keystroke on a german system?

I wish that when you did this method of opening a page [from the HUD that is] it opened windows in a new tab, not a new window [when running Safari or Webkit]. Can this be incorporated?
