Mobile app teams up well with desktop version
1Password for the iPhone is a tool that lets you record user names and passwords for Web sites, along with free-form notes, and store them securely on your iPhone. It shares a name with 1Password for the Mac (
), a $35 program that makes it super-simple to not only save Web site login information, but to automatically log in to those sites in your browser of choice. 1Password for the Mac is an excellent program; we covered it briefly in this Mac Gems column from last year. Also, if you own 1Password for the Mac, you can sync your iPhone/iPod touch data with your Mac—and this works in both directions, so records can be added on the iPhone and then synced to your Mac, and vice-versa.

Worth EVERY cent!
This is one of those apps that you kind of resent 'paying' for. I mean, after all, it doesn't crunch numbers, it doesn't render video, it doesn't do any of those cool, whiz-bang things you bought a computer for in the first place...What it does do, however, is allow you to really secure your online life. You can use unique usernames and unique STRONG passwords for every account log in you have. It has a 'wallet' where you keep your credit cards. Every time you need to fill in a credit card number, 1Password will fill it in for you.What about all those pesky membership numbers? Yep - keeps those too!More importantly, 1Password just works the way you'd want it to. It seamlessly manages your passwords. When you log in to an account and they 'force' you to change your password, 1Password offers to remember the new password for you. And if you want, it will generate random strong passwords that meet any criteria you set (upper/lower case, numbers, symbols etc) and fill them in for you!Finally, 1Password is offered on the iPhone and iPod-Touch... so you'll always have these things available when you're out. Spend hours filling all this into your iPhone? Fah-Get-about-it! 1Password wirelessly syncs to your iPhone! And if your phone gets stolen? Not to worry, as on your computer, your data is encrypted, and no one's gettin' in without the master password! 1Password: The only password you'll ever have to remember again!
Finally
I only give it 3 in ease if use because it takes a learning curve. BUT, this is the program I have been looking for ever since the iPhone came out. I used 2 different programs before, neither of which would sync with both the Mac and iPhone. One was developing the program for Mac desk top, the other was developing the app for the iPhone. Both responded (that's nice, but didn't help) they were developing their program to be used in all Mac systems (NOT!!!)I finally found 1Password, WOW!!! Thank you for understanding there are those of us that have an iPhone and also use Mac computers as our daily computers. Goodbye Passport Plus! Goodbye eWallet! Hope you have some Mac users left when you finally figure out that Mac is really more than just the iPhone (ewallet) or more than just a home computer (Passport Plus). Thank you 1Password, I transferred all my data from Passport Plus to 1Password and within a few minutes then after a few more was synced totally to my iPhone, I finally had all that data on my iPhone
