1Password: The best iPhone utility app in TUAW's Best of 2011

by Steven Sande Dec 26th 2011 at 2:00PM

If you just got a new iPhone for Christmas, there's one handy utility app that you might want to purchase right away. It's 1Password for iPhone (sale priced at US$5.99) from Agile Bits Solutions, and it was named the best iPhone utility app in reader voting in TUAW's Best of 2011 awards.

The app is a favorite of the TUAW staff, and it's obvious from the voting that 1Password is used faithfully by many of our readers as well -- the app pulled in 49.7 percent of the votes, thoroughly trouncing the other nominees in this category. It actually comes in two flavors -- the iPhone-only version linked to above, and the universal 1Password Pro (currently on sale for $8.99) that synchronizes with 1Password on Mac and iPad.

Apple had the runner-up in this category. Find My iPhone (free), an amazing app that has reunited many lost or stolen iPhones with their owners, nabbed 32.3 percent of the votes.

Congratulations to Agile Bits for their win, and thanks to all of the TUAW readers who took part in the nomination and voting process for the utility category in the Best of 2011.

I totally agree. Love this application; use it every day. This app allowed me to randomize all of my passwords for maximum security. Totally secure way to store all of my passwords and account information. Rock on, Agile Bits Solutions!

Hi, I've been using Last Pass on my Mac, iPhone and iPad and I like it. Do I gain any advantage in switching to 1Password?

I have 1Password on my Mac. Love it. I wish it did native apps in addition to web pages, but that's ok. I see a number of negative reviews for 1Password Pro and that worries me that I'll waste $8.99. Does it work like it does on the Mac?

I'm confused. I thought you could use 1Password for accounts for native apps. That's what the Accounts grouping is for I thought.

Works the same, different interface for the phone's screen size. It has sections for Wallet, Logins, Accounts, Software, Password, and can generate new passwords. When you say "native apps" I think you mean the ability to fill in logins and passwords in native iOS apps, or maybe Mac apps, but I suppose that would require those apps to have an API or extensible architecture that allowed 3rd parties to create such a thing. It does, of course, store your account info or serial numbers for such apps.

Your software is awesome and you guys have great support. 1Password is definitely the best software wallet available, and it's compatible with pretty much every device I own.
