1Password beta: Secure name and password filling for iPhone's Safari
Merlin Mann | Jan 31 2008
Safari AutoFill for iPhone and iPod Touch (Switchers' Blog) Babies, iPhones and very-high-security passwords can be a bitter cocktail; it's really hard to enter a 28-character/mixed-case/special character password on the iPhone while you're holding 15 lbs. of undulating infant. Trust me. So, if you caught video of my recent interview with Agile Web Solutions' Dave Teare, you could see how excited I was to learn about a then-upcoming beta which would support autofill name- and password-entering via secure bookmarklets on your iPhone. Well, the day has arrived, and, brother, am I ever loving this. From Dave's post on the company's blog:
Dave tells me via email that the hosting service he'd mentioned in our interview is still being planned, but, personally I'm thrilled that this "just works" out of the box as well as it does from this first cut. I have seen a few problems in 1P seeming not to remember a login associated with a site, but more often than not, it's been just spot-on -- even when entered with my one, daughter-free hand. Anyhow, check 'er out. 1Password is shareware ($29.95) and a free download. The updated functionality appears to start with version 2.5.10 (build 6102). One of my favorite Mac apps just made life a lot easier for iPhone users. 8 Comments

I'm crazy for 1PasswdSubmitted by fabiodebe on February 6, 2008 - 3:56am.
I don't even remember how I got to know 1Passwd but now I'm totally addicted to it! Been using for a handful of months now and when I had to bring my Mac into repair for 5 days I felt totally lost without my passwords!! I gave it as a gift to 2 of my closest friends and they're both very impressed! Haven't got any feedback about the iPhone compatibility yet but I'm pretty sure it'll be sweet and seamless! Also, I find that the price is absolutely ok for a useful tool that does the job the way it's supposed to! IMHO mobile browsing will ever be as big as laptop/desktop browsing but a good point is that managing passwords could be even more of a pain on small devices, so long life to 1Passwd! » POSTED IN:
