Welcome to Agile Web Solutions!

Next, portable passwords. I've used the old Cryptinfo Palm application from NormSoft for many years, but I've been moving to 1Password on my Mac, and behold, the lovely people from Agile Web Solutions have released an iPhone app of their product. Again, some tooing and froing to get data off the Palm and into the new repository, but no real dramas

Recently, I watched a ScreenCast on 1Password and found it interesting. It seemed like the perfect solution for me, as I can easily forget passwords, and use sometimes the same password on multiple sites.

Agile Web Solutions' 1Password keeps an encrypted store of your logins and passwords, and the URLs associated with them, along with credit-card and bank account numbers, freeform text notes -- anything you might want to carry with you encrypted in your pocket. 1Password lets you log in to password-protected Web sites with one tap. Optionally, you can synch it with the Mac desktop version of the app

I’d heard a lot of other Mac users talk about an application named 1Password in the past, so I took the time to give it a close look. I was impressed enough with what I found to make the purchase. At $40 it’s slightly higher priced than I expected, but I think the end benefit will be worthwhile.

The new Agile Keychain format allows to save 1Password’s data to my DropBox, which syncs every change instantly to the other Mac where another 1Password install refreshes its database as soon as the file is changed. Works great!
