Yes Peter highly praises 1Password, as I also do & most of us do! ;-) /quote from one of Peter's responses to list way back on 26 April 2012
"If 1Password were simply a password protector it would still come highly recommended, but it goes much further than that. It is also an excellent repository for all your software licence codes/serial numbers, credit card details, passport details, etc, all nicely tucked away in a secure environment which can be synced across all your devices. It also allows information like credit card details to be used to autofill forms in web browsers. It's an indispensable tool." /End Quote Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 14 Oct 2013, at 10:10 am, Tim Law <t...@peoplehelp.com.au> wrote: > > Oh yes, so it could be! ooops > > Apologies to Peter if I have misconstrued your message. > > Tim > >> On 14/10/2013, at 10:06 AM, Neil Houghton <n...@possumology.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Tim, >> >> A big +1 for 1Password from me too. >> >> I must admit when Peter talked about the problems that "this type of >> software" creates - I thought he was talking about AppCleaner (which deleted >> the keychain) rather than 1Password - though I now see it could be read >> either way ;o) >> >> >> Cheers >> >> >> >> Neil >> -- >> Neil R.
