1passwd.com — With the explosion in the number of websites we rely upon it has become impossible to securely keep track of all your passwords. The old techniques of password memorization and password reuse are no longer acceptable practices in today's security conscious environment. But most users continue to rely on bad practices in order to remember their pass

It actually uses the OSX Keychain program to do it's encryption. If you look at some the screenshots it says it will need to set up a new keychain. Kinda funny how a program replicating the behavior of another program actually requires that other program to function. Did you get all that? So yea, it's just like using Keychain.app cause, 1Passwd does.

I've been using this application since an early beta and find it indispensable. I bought it within a few days. It is essentially what RoboForm is on the PC. It stores data for ALL fields. I've seen many folks bitching about the fact that it uses keychain... Yes it does, and I'm glad it does. Why rewrite a secure way to store passwords when apple has already provided a "container" that is already secure and heavily encrypted? It also makes transfering your passwords to a new (or another) machine a breeze and it also lets you sync your passwords on multiple machines just by using iSync. Great Application.

Nice, but this strikes me as a $19.95 application. The current price is more than I personally would pay for a password manager.

I would agree with you but I still can't figure out how to get the keychain to fill my forms after I add my password to it. Can someone please explain it to me because the people at the Apple store don't seem to know.

I can also recommend this app. I got it through MacZot at a discount and well it really works well.

For a Mac only solution info.xhead is still the best out there <a class="user" href="http://www.xheadsoftware.com/info_xhead.asp">http://www.xheadsoftware.com/info_xhead.asp</a> KeePassX <a class="user" href="http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/screenshots/">http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/screenshots/</a> is nice also since it's cross-platform, but it doesn't allow for customizable fields like info.xhead. Auto-fill to me isn't that big of a deal (although info.xhead will launch and fill logins for you), what is important is an "all around" versatile password manager which this current dig post is not. I care more than just auto-fill on web based accounts - password managers should be able to keep all your accounts in one place (maybe bank account info, credit card info numbers, etc.) This is why I choose info.xhead over the ones listed.

Obviously, Kroc, you realize as great a program as Notepad is, it doesn't automatically fill in passwords and such. Plus, it's a Windows program. Here, we're looking for a form filler, password filler for Macs.Thanks for the input, though.Walt D in LV

You guys have to try this app before you talk it down. This is one of the only password managers for OS X that ALSO has an iPhone app. For those who have an iPhone, you'll appreciate how necessary it is to have this software on the iPhone as well. Aside from all of that, this app is very versatile and has many useful features. It's fully capable of holding any secure data you may need to store. I run a business and have a plethora of secure information that I need to remember. This app now does it all for me and I don't have to worry about it. If I'm out and about and some business information is requested , such as my company's tax ID, I can easily pull it up on the phone. It's free to try, I urge you guys... give it a shot. I did and just now made the purchase. I would say that it's a bit spendy in relation to the other applications that serve a similar purpose; however, 1Password does have much more to offer. It's not just an OS X app, it's an iPhone app and soon a web app.

I've just managed to get Roboform working on OS X. It's not great, a little buggy, but I've managed to get all my passwords accessible within Firefox. I just bought my first Mac 2 days ago and when I realised Roboform didn't officially work for OS X I was at the point of despair. I have almost 70 passwords saved in Roboform. During my getting to know OS X phase, I stumbled across a piece of software called Crossover which sits inside OS X and allows you to install Windows programs in a 'bottle' directly within OS X without the need of Boot Camp or virtualisation software (Parallels VmWare etc). I then installed Firefox for Windows in a Crossover bottle, which although Firefox isn't one of the officially supported apps by Crossover, it still allows you to install unsupported ones (at your own risk though they say, so install in a separate bottle to any other bottles you may have set up). After that install Roboform in the Firefox bottle. I even managed to get Roboform Pro activated, although this crashed a few times first, and after removing the Roboform (and once even the Firefox) installs from OS X and reinstalling them, Crossover somehow picked up the previous settings and no sooner had I reinstalled roboform, it was already pre-set to Pro settings with all my passwords. Voila! I can now access all my passwords and save them. But... there are a few caveats. Firstly, as I've said, it is buggy and the Roboform toolbar does tend to close itself and disappear. Sometimes it can be made visible again by 'right clicking' the toolbar area and ticking it back on, but other times it isn't even available to be ticked back on. Just restart Firefox and it appears again. Also, I can't vouch for Roboform's encryption. Indeed, it seems to be opening up websites and logging me in without even asking for my master password! So ok, it's not perfect, but I'm willing to take the gamble given that OS X isn't as much a target by hackers as Windows is. I won't use it often, only when I need quick access to a site for which I don't want to wait the time it takes to start up XP under Parallels.I will be contacting Crossover, Firefox and Roboform to see if they can't work together on this one to make it slightly less buggy as a workaround until they come out with an official Mac version. Good luck guys and I hope this post makes life easier for some of you out there,
