Post your comments for 1Password 3 here

I've used 1Password for two years and I couldn't do without it. It just works. Also, the developers are extremely involved and constantly committed to improving the program. Help is an email away - they are incredibly responsive.

You can update stored passwords. If it recognizes the URL it pops up with a dialog asking if you want to update. If it doesn't, and you go to the login page again and reenter the password, there is a dropdown that by default says "Create New Login". Just change that to update the existing login.

And I also call the uncrackable master password a feature. Why would you want a backdoor in a security product?

Ditto what snagitseven said.

Wow, the author was really searching for cons.

"Another slight issue (I think Agile would call this a feature) is that there is absolutely no way to recover your master password if you forget it. I’d prefer some incredibly secure online storage system where you could recover it"

And what if you forget the password to the "incredibly secure online storage system." Sorry, but no, there shouldn't be a way to retrieve the master password - that's the point of having a master password - to keep everything secure.

As for no business version - that's a good feature request, but I'd hardly call is con for the product. That's like saying "it doesn't edit video" is a con.

I'll have it for a year in January. It used to be my New Year's tradition to plop down in front of the TV and change passwords on every site. I gave 1password a go on their trial and was hooked. I've got it, of course, on my Mac...but also I've purchased the iPhone app (the Pro version). Before multitasking, the Pro version let you create a bookmarklet that would switch to 1P, you copied the pw, and it would automatically switch back to Safari. Now, the Pro version is for iPad's resolution.

I am also using the beta of the Windows version, and pre-purchased a license for it. While not nearly as robust as the Mac application, it is still an essential piece of software for me. Three of my chief nit-picks in the current beta are: 1) no handy, small popup displays next to your mouse when 1P isn't sure which log in to use; instead, a full 1P menu window is displayed. 2) personal information and credit card filling in aren't supported yet; gotta copy from the application. 3) This is probably the biggest one: can't fill in logins that are pop up windows. Gotta C&P from the application.

My final comment is about 1P-Anywhere. UNFORTUNATELY, syncing with MobileMe just absolutely does not work. This is not Agile's fault, but I do have iDisk, so I don't really want to have another cloud service (i.e. Dropbox). They warn against using iDisk, but I tried anyway. Forget it. I was beach balled for MINUTES when I'd try to have it fill in my info. So for now, I annoyingly just upload the library file to iDisk and pull it to my work PC. (The iPhone syncs automatically.) Waiting on Apple to make iDisk a better experience, but I may bite the bullet and get Dropbox just to have a place to store 1P.

I was all set to buy 1P when I read Hayesk's comment that it does not edit video.
Bummer.
I guess I can't buy it now¡

Oh, wait. I already own it and use it to manage 675 logins/passwords. Seems to do the job for me.

Well I can't add a user-review. When I click submit, it just sends me back here to this this Review page. /sigh

Name it as you wish, a glitch or a feature, but I am specially thankful that a master password is NOT recoverable if you forget it. My Mac mini was stolen last year, and one of my big worries was that the thief had access to all my passwords if he had the time to call Agile and ask for a retrieval or something. Fortunately, Agile told me I shouldn't worry about that, since resetting the master password would be a security hole, and I fully agree with that. Peace of mind is priceless.
My advise? Keep your master password in another safe place, like... 1Password for iPhone!

One of my other favourite features is the password generator. I would actually like direct access to this as I usually have to go to a website that requires a password and then pick password generator when I need a non-web password generated. For instance all my work passwords must be changed every 90 days, and between all the systems I have to come up with a password that I can remember/type and will pass all the requirements for character/number/length/non-dictionary/etc. So I keepp generating pronounceable (roughly speaking) passwords with letter and numbers and 8 characters in length until I find something that I think will work.

Used for website fill-ins, this also allows you to use the maximum length/complexity in a password, and since you never have to type it that is great for security.

I figured I would sign in and write a quick response...and guess what 1Password remembered my login. Yes great program especially when used with dropbox. All 5 of my macs and iPods are in sync.

Can someone tell me what is the use of this program ?? I save my web passwords in safari and for retrieving many other passwords use Key Chain access of Mac OS X. So what is really the point of this program ??
