I found out about the "CMD + \" just now. I guess it wasn't there before or is that because I never used the browser plugin. Btw, my upgrade was free at the App Store. Quick observations; * Snappy and Fast. * iCloud Sync will make it easier to sync between Devices - iOS and Mac OS X. Dropbox sync wasn't that great if I don't open the app often. (I hope I don't regret saying this.) * Finally, "CMD + SHIFT + c" copies…
I don't really see the point of having 1Password on anything but your phone (unless you don't have a smart phone). It seems like the most secure way to use it, assuming you've enabled back ups in 1Password to iCloud or DropBox. Whenever I need a password I just grab my phone and look it up, then type it in. Sure, I have to manually type passwords, and my randomized passwords all have a minimum 18 character length, so…
For me, not-memorizing it is the whole point of 1Password. 1Password lets me generate and store passwords which are MUCH longer/more random than normal people can memorize.
I store them on my PC, and lock/unlock them with a strong master password - They're synced via local network to my phone, and never travel outside my network. Where possible, accounts are additionally secured via 2-factor auth.
This seems like a much better solution than variations on song-lyrics, cat names, 'P4zzw0Rd', which is the 'standard' solution to passwords.
FWIW, passwords are something I'd consider a 'hair on fire' problem. The current solutions are very very broken.
I've been using 1Password for years, and until I saw the picture of everyone in their t-shirts, I had no idea that CMD-\ was the hotkey for the password menu. Still waiting for seamless Linux integration though. It's one of my killer apps that keeps me on OS X, connecting via ssh to headless Linux machines or VMs, as opposed to using the Linux desktop. And yes, I realize that there are other password managers out the…

Good point and that is probably the reason for releasing 1Password 4 now. I have paid for 1Password for too many times and I'm jumping off the wagon now.
it's a free update if you bought 1Password 3 from the Mac app store

Serious? All my passwords are randomized with their generator. There's an extension for every browser. So any time I need to login to a site I hit Cmd + \ and it auto fills and logs me in. Fuck typing and remembering passwords.

It's one of the reasons I can get my parents to use 1P at all.
I use 1Password so extensively that the money I paid for it always seemed well spent, if not cheap. 1Password 4 is a big leap for me in terms of usability (vs. v.3): the mini application can be quickly accessed via a key chord, similarly to what you can do within a browser. Very helpful for things like VPN access, encrypted HDs, and other non-web softwares. The security audit is a great feature too: it can tell you w…
I also use it to store secure account information like bank accounts and CC numbers. Ever needed your credit card or some account number but only had your phone on you? With services like 1Password that's no problem.

I guess I just don't want to install plug-ins on every browser/computer I use, since I have a lot. Plus work, library, friends' computers, etc. Memorization comes in handy at that point. As for typing, it's not like typing in even a 18+ character password is that slow.
