I was one of those people that used the same password on many sites. You don’t need me to tell you that that isn’t the brightest of ideas. I had never used a password manager before, instead preferring to use Excel to keep track of all the sites where I had signed up to and all my login credentials. There were only a few sites where I visit regularly so having a common password to all those sites was the easiest.
The iPhone based client that works very well with the desktop based password manager, 1Password. This is an extremely handy app for storing passwords, usernames, credit card numbers, and so on. It’s also protected by a PIN when you open it, and you can also assign a second password to specific entries, such as credit cards. While you don’t need the Mac-only desktop software to use this, it’s handy if you’re an OS X user, as you can sync them both over WiFi. This is also easily the most useful and productive app I have on my iPhone, and I would highly recommend both it and the desktop app if you have a Mac!
