After using this little App for a while now, I can’t imagine living without it. 1Password saves your passwords in a keychain, much like the OS X keychain already does, but with the ability to add other confidential information (secure notes, credit card information, etc), an auto-fill plugin for *every* OSX browser and an iPhone app to synch the whole keychain with your iPhone.
If you’ve got plenty of website-passwords, this is really cool. For example, I save the 1Password-database on my DropBox account (soon to be replaced by my private fileserver :D), this way I can sync it easily to every machine I work on, at home and on some office machines. You can also configure a session time on “critical” machines, so for example, you have to enter your master password after not using the app for 15 minutes.
The database is saved using strong encryption, so your data is pretty much safe. A strong password generator is included aswell and you will never have to use your “standard” password on every website you want to create an account for. ;)
What I miss right now is that 1Password doesn’t save system passwords, for example WiFi keys, logins for shares et al. But on the other hand, you can just create a secure note for this purpose.
Note: Apparently, 1Password + Snow Leopard Dev..A421 + Safari 4 = FAIL. Works with Firefox 3.5 tho.
Some screenies: The app’s user-interface and the integration into safari using a plugin (“1P”).

This was so great, I had to read it twice. The first time, I just read the very first sentence and walked away, a smile on my face. I came back later to read the rest of the post. Thank you, we’re glad you find 1Password so useful!
Note that Safari 4 isn’t officially supported on Snow Leopard yet, but with a bit of tweaking, you should be able to get it to work:

Again, thank you! Please don’t hesitate to write if you have any questions or feedback for us.
