You can just start using the app and begin adding new logins, changing your existing passwords with stronger ones, and perhaps taking a few notes with information you don’t want to keep elsewhere.ġPassword 3 for Mac has been a trusted companion for four years now: the app was released in September 2009, before Apple made a Mac App Store, before the iPad, and when (I’m fairly certain) Apple was already doomed. I wouldn’t say there’s a learning curve in using 1Password. With version 4.0, the app syncs its database using iCloud and Dropbox, and it doesn’t come with a confusing combination of strikingly different iPhone/iPad designs anymore. That’s what 1Password does: it’a a single app that will let you easily create stronger passwords and store them in an encrypted database that only you can access. Here’s how, last year, I explained the purpose of 1Password in my review:īecause you need to stop using the same password on every website you subscribe to because you need stronger, unique passwords others can’t guess and because in doing so you’ll probably want a single app that keeps them all together. The work I do on the web depends on 1Password’s feature set, which makes it easy to manage logins and web identities with the peace of mind that the app, and not your brain, will have to remember secure data for you.

I have been using 1Password since I got my first Mac in 2008, bought the iPhone and iPad versions, followed the development of the Mac client, and praised the major 4.0 update for iOS that was released in December 2012.

I don’t think that 1Password, AgileBits’ popular password management and form-filling tool, needs any introduction for MacStories readers.
