Never lose a password again

February 7, 2011 Posted by workingdesign in Featured

“Have you ever forgotten a password? We all have. Now you don’t have to worry about that anymore.” With that pitch, our favourite new application – 1 Password – has been winning fans and awards wherever computers are found.

Think of it as an impossible-to-crack bank vault. Which is apt, since the system’s icon uses that metaphor.

1 Password is inexpensive and easy to install. Users choose a single password and then store all other password information in a series of folders.

It’s safe, secure and simple.

When you visit a new site and create a username and password, 1 Password automatically pops up asking if you want to store the information. You can also enter and store your passwords manually. And, if you prefer, 1 Password will generate complex passwords for you.

So, not only does it save you the problem of remembering numerous passwords, storing them in an unsafe way or using the same passwords over again, it will provide you with strong and secure passwords.

Accessing websites from within the 1 Password program let you automatically log in to sites.

You can also write notes and store a variety of information such as software licenses, FTP access, or any other data that needs to be secure. 1 Password is mobile friendly allowing you access your data using an iPhone or iPad app, your Android phone or another computer.

The application can also integrate with the free Dropbox service for “syncing to the cloud”.
