Your opinions oregarding 1Password
Hi there folks, I am getting weighed down with logins and passwords, to the point that I am having to write them down. This concerns me as it defeats the purpose of having passwords ! Has anyone experienced the 1Password application and what is your view on this ?

Hi Stephen, There is quite a bit of info on 1Password in WAMUG Archives. 1Password, by Agile Web Solutions, can best be described as OS X’s Keychain concept on steroids. To quote their website: 1Password takes care of all your online passwords so you can use strong and unique passwords for every site and never forget any of them! … In short, 1Password keeps track of all your web passwords, automates sign-in, guards from identity theft, and allows you to stop worrying about your safety while online. http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password I have always Keychain Access for all my Passwords and Secure Notes etc. But have been trying to find time to input all the passwords and information I have in my Keychain into 1Password. Finding time is the difficult part ;-) Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66GHz / 8GB / 1067 MHz DDR3 / 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: Your opinions oregarding 1Password
That's a +1 from me - I also use dropbox to keep the logins maintained across multiple computers. From memory the licence allows EITHER One user on multiple computers OR Multiple users on one computer. I love it - very Mac-like - it just works. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Thank for all those opinions regarding 1Password. I will definitely take a look at it now.

Re: Your opinions oregarding 1Password
1Password is excellent software. An alternative is LastPass. This is nowhere near as easy to use as 1Password - despite doing the same things as 1Password it is quite clunky in comparison. However depending on your requirements it has a feature that could be very important - it allows for secure sharing of passwords with others (on Windows or Mac), primarily because it stores passwords (securely) off your computer, not on it. Sharing is something 1Password can't do.

It is a bit of work to set up 1Password in the first instance with all your stuff, but it's time well spent.

Re: Your opinions oregarding 1Password
Hi Wamuggers I find that 1Pasword does not fill in the passwords on sites that require you to click on a screen qwerty board or similar. Otherwise works fine. Also sometimes I wonder what would happen if one of the writers of this software went bad or the program was hacked??.
