14 DAY TRIAL // Agile Web Solutions has released a new version of its password manager and form filler for Mac OS X, 1Password. Although not listed as a major release, 1Password 3.0.4 adds a ton of new features, enhancements and bug fixes, making this a must-download for existing users of the software. Newcomers, as usual, are encouraged to download the free trial version and give it a try.
Working seamlessly in modern web browsers like Apple’s Safari, as well as Firefox, Camino, and Flock, 1Password stores all of one's information into the built-in Keychain. 1Password 3 requires the Agile Keychain data format. Users are required to make sure they upgrade their 1Password data to the new format before installing 1Password 3. There is also a mobile version of the application. The iPhone client, appropriately named 1Password Touch, securely stores a website’s names and passwords.
According to Agile Web Solutions, 1Password 3.0.4 is “an update to 1Password 3 with several new features, many improvements and bug fixes.” The company has added the ability to quick-look attachments under Snow Leopard, tag folders to Go & Fill menus, an untagged smart folder, preferences to hide certain sidebar elements, an “extra scope setting to show login items in every HTTP auth prompt regardless of domain,” and support for importing from KeePass, in addition to KeePassX.
In addition, the Tags and Folders sections have been separated in the 1Password sidebar, and users can now import passwords from Firefox 3 and above. The new version also adds the ability to import stuff from LicenseKeeper. Other changes include a new Go > Tags menu, an improved License window, improved printing of accounts and wallet items, and an ability to preserve quick search while adding or duplicating objects. Advanced search is still ended when performing such an action, according to the developers.
