First Look: 1Password for iPhone

Do you have a Windows based program, where I can sync my iphone to?

I have been waiting for this for some time. Once again I am very impressed by 1password and was more than pleased to see the iphone app is free. Which is a good model for them - this will benefit them as it give a great new extension to their product and a whole new world of marketing for the desktop app.

As you can see I am a big fan of 1password. I have been using it for some time and would not consider anything else.

Does the "wallet" feature not work if you aren't syncing, and are just using the iPhone app as a standalone?

Because i don't see wallet at all.

Question for the creator.

Is the wallet feature only for people who use the mac sync. I'm just using it as an iPhone standalone, and don't see wallet.

I have one issue with a Wallet item that on the MacBook was in the Trash which I have now emptied but it still shows up on the iPhone with this in the title VISA - ~$TRASH$~.......

Also I miss the Logins feature from the previous Safari version that allowed me to be on a web page and have the Logins window appear with that pages URL entered. I don't go to web pages from within the 1Password app, but now it seems I have or go thru the rather tedious process of leaving a page in Safari, open 1Password, look up the log-in info, remember it and return to Safari to enter it. Or am I missing something here?

The app functions and it recognizes my G4 Powerbook, I send the sync request & type in the code as seen on my phone but then nothing happens. I try to force it to sync but I get an error message.

I'm on a 1st gen iphone. Hope this helps.

well the 1.0 version doesn't work fine for me. it doesn't work at all. it crashes immediately upon launch after a sync. not sure why i paid for the upgrade to get a free app that doesn't work. FAIL

I just have to comment on Fritz Laurel's post about keychain insecurity.

First, the article he links lists 2 separate memory related exploits and both require physical access to the machine. Keychains are no more prone to this attack than any encrypted databases. In fact they show attacks on BitLocker (Vista) and talk about breaking FileVault the same way.

The simply truth is that it physical security is the responsibility of the owner and is paramount in any security plan.

Think about the wallet or purse you carry with you every day. Are you credit cards encrypted? your cash? business cards? etc. Of course not. So we tend to keep a tight reign on our valuables in that regard. We wouldn't hand over our wallet to anyone and say "have at it."

Computer security should be no different. If you ever go to a commercial data center you will see multiple locked doors that require badges, biometrics, keys, etc. to pass. You will then be met by rows of locked cabinets sometimes enclosed in separate locked cages. Why? Because someone figured a long time ago that no matter how well software protects something, stealing the hardware is a hug vulnerability to the data.

So unless you have something else regarding the OS X Keychain being insecure, I would think about retracting your statements. If you want to say that encryption (overall) doesn't protect you 100% from data theft, fine...but I don't see any evidence to support your attack on keychain.

I just imported 68 items. Every time I try to access the wallet from my iPod Touch, it crashes.

This software is not ready for use.

Somewhere i read something about an auto-login feature.
Anyone saw that one yet? 1password enters all my password and visits the websites, but doesnt automatically login.

Isn't this possible yet? Was it only in the jailbroken version?
