1Password Coming Soon to an App Store Near You

Now that the iTunes App Store is open many people want to know where the 'native' version of 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch is. Well, I'm proud to say that not only do we have one in the works but it is almost ready and it looks GORGEOUS too!

Roustem and Dan have been burning the midnight oil for the last month making 1Password for iPhone amazing and we just submitted it to the App Store. Once Apple approves our submission 1Password will be added to the App Store. We don't know how long approval will take but likely by this time next week you should be able to find 1Password there and install it.

Below is a sneak peek at how to use 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch so you are ready to use it when it becomes available.

1Password 2.6.5 Released

1Password 2.6.5 is now available! Changes in this version include improved support for Firefox 3 and newly added support for the Safari 4 Developer Preview, DEVONagent 2.3.1, OmniWeb Sneaky Peeks, and the Beta of Flock 2. Also in this release are several stability improvements. This update is free to all paid 1Password customers.

Below are the highlights of this new version, and at the very bottom you can find the detailed Release Notes.

1Password's Internet Pants

Merlin Mann shared some serious love with 1Password today!

Must be 1Password's new Internet Pants!

Carl and Shawn King will discuss 1Password on Your Mac Life Show tonight

Tune-in to the live video or audio feed of Your Mac Life show tonight between 8:30pm to 11:00pm EST to hear our Carl and Shawn King talking about 1Password: Your Mac Life show – Alien Skin & 1Password.

From the YML site:

What's your password? It's a question we get "asked" constantly while using the Internet. Most of us have fairly simple to remember passwords and we often use the same password for multiple web sites/situations. Agile Web Solutions makes 1Password and their Chief Evangelist will be on tonight's show to talk about how it can not only create strong passwords and remember them for you, it can also prevent phishing, auto-fill forms, sync with .Mac and much more.

Come join us!

1Password coming to the literary world

It is amazing the things we learn about from 1Password. On a daily basis we correspond with people from all walks of life. People from countries all over the world and from just about every industry and background you can imagine. I remember a few months back talking with someone who was using 1Password in the relief effort in Darfur. I was just fascinated by the thought of our software being used in those conditions. I have heard stories from a lot of other people as well and sometimes they cause diversions as I check their stuff out as was the case with the custom motorcycle builder awhile back. Most recently I corresponded with a Vietnam-era helicopter pilot and learned some interesting things. So when Carolyn Wilma (the Contest Queen) approached us several months ago about her contesting book it certainly was par for the course. She was interested in the use of 1Password for entering contests and sweepstakes and her upcoming book is now available for pre-order.

You can pre-order the U.S. edition of the book You Can't Win If You Don't Enter! using by clicking here.

There is a short section on 1Password in the book that yours truly helped on.

I hope it is wildly successful unlike my book entitled How I turned 10 million dollars in real estate into $50 cash. Still not sure why that one didn't get more audience. Tough crowd out there. :)

Fluid support comes to 1Password

Since the Fluid was released we have had many requests to integrate 1Password into this site specific browser.

1Password version 2.6 addresses this and now Fluid support is available! 2.6 is not officially released yet but it is available now in beta. You can upgrade to the beta by going to 1Password > Preferences > Updates, clicking "Include BETA versions when checking for updates", and then clicking "Check Now".

1Password 2.5.12 Released! Safari 3.1 Support and Many Enhancements

1Password 2.5.12 was released today and includes support for the new Safari 3.1 update that was included in the recent Apple Software Update.

Since the release we have had over 200 emails kindly asking if we knew 1Password was broken in the new Safari update. Amazingly, Dan set a new Customer Service record today by answering 190 tickets! This update should slow the tide of questions.

This update is not limited to Safari, however. In fact, this is the biggest release we have had for quite some time. The changelog has over 40 items in it! Below are the highlights of what we have been busy building over the the last 5 weeks, along with a full change log at the bottom.

Despite this huge list of enhancements, this update is a FREE update to all 1Password license holders.

Dealing with Rejection

Face it, no one likes to get rejected, but when you use 1Password's strong password generator to generate a secure cryptic password and the site rejects it for some reason it can be a bit frustrating. Sometimes the password is just fine but that username you picked was already taken. Who knew R2D2Rulez would not be available on the Star Wars message boards? However, 1Password has some features that help you deal with the craziness that is the world wide web when it comes to registering at new sites and saving the login information in 1Password.
