1Password!!!

Okay seriously 1password is one of THE apps that keeps me on my mac.  
It generates, strong passwords, saves your logins, works with all mac  
browsers (safari, opera, camino, firefox... you just have to add the  
"1password button" to the toolbar), has a wallet and secure note  
features as well.

It will even autofill forms, but it usually messes up if the forms are  
in german for example, but it usually fair better at just filling in a  
credit card and cvv code with start/expiration dates.

The best thing is, it has an iphone app too which does wifi sync with  
your mac. Only caveat is you have to click "edit" to be able to copy  
and paste the PW. And also, you can export your passwords as html, but  
this will have your passwords stored in an encrypted HTML file. I use  
this on my ubuntu subnote sometimes.

Last thing worth mentioning, the next version will support UPEK  
thumbprint readers, which is awesome cuz i have one. Then you won't  
have to enter that ultra secure, really long password you use to  
protect your database

Hope that helps,

D.

All,

I, like everyone else, have 10's and 10's of passwords and PIN's and
paper simply doesn't cut it - a password manager it is then!

So my main machine is a Mac but I also use various OS's and I have an
iPhone. I'm heading off for a holiday shortly and will be taking the
iPhone and a netbook with me and will need access to the passwords and
PIN's.

I'm trying to find a secure method where I can access these passwords
and PIN's from anywhere I want using anyone of those devices and OS's.

Anyone have any suggestions to how is best to do this and also which
apps you would recommend?

Regards,

K41zen
