Can someone please list the advantages of using 1Password instead of Keychain Access? I can't find a simple difference list anywhere.

Besides the items listed by others, 1Password also will store things that aren't web logins. Like SSH logins, or encryption recovery keys.

It's kinda lame that website customers have to pay for the upgrade while appstore users get it for free. Yes, I know appstore doesn't support paid upgrades, but at least they could have made it a little cheaper for us.

I'm okay with paying for the Mac update. What I'm not okay with is them disabling Dropbox support in the old iOS program and then making the new version a $18 app. That means I'll need to spend $51.58 ($33.59 for Mac + Windows upgrade plus $17.99 for iOS app) to regain functionality the worked perfectly fine until they crippled the iOS app. I'm doubting that I'll actually do this because I'm so steamed about the disa…

They claim that Dropbox deprecated their existing API, so the software broke on it's own. AgileBits did not disable the integration, upsteam changed.

In the same way that Netscape 4 can't talk to SPDY-only websites, 1Password 3 can't talk to the new dropbox API.

I haven't found the doc from Dropbox that describes an API change on Sept 1 - They did do a V0-V1 change this year, however, and AgileBits' story is plausible.

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…

Are you happy with the browser support?

In my browsers, 1Password 4 still works less reliably than 1Password 3. Manual completion (I don't use auto competition) sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. In the former case, the user credentials get listed but not inserted. The issues occurs more often in Chrome than in Firefox. It might be just me of course.

In any case, I am already in contact with the great AgileBits support team. AgileBits is one of the companies where your support mails are taken seriously.

I am upset by this as well. 1Password 4 for iOS didn't seem like a useful enough upgrade to make me pay full price (again). And then since they pulled 1Password 3 from the store, they couldn't update it when Dropbox changed their API.

The new feature in 1Password 4 for Mac that has me interested is shared vaults. Now you can finally use 1Password as a password sharing solution for a business. This has been on my wishlist for years.

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…

Is CMD + \ an easily reachable shortcut on American keyboards?

On my Non-American keyboard, CMD + \ equals CMD + Alt + Shift + / …

I have never used the setting so far. The current setting in 1Password on the Mac I am using right now is CMD + S, that does not work of course. I guess I changed it years ago since AgileBits is very unlikely to have chosen CMD + S as shortcut for Non-American keyboards. I changed the shortcut now to CMD + ALT + 7 …

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here are just a few. (Disclaimer: I use and love LastPass, but am familiar with 1Password). Sync- it's possible with Keychain Access + Dropbox, but not seamless Easy password generation- no switching to Keychain Access, copying, etc. iOS access- up until iCloud sync, passwords were not easily transferred to devices Support for Windows browsers Form filling- Keychain will do addresses, but not credit cards

Everything except windows support is solved in mavericks.

But all that stuff will only work with safari in Mavericks right?

But the only reason they couldn't update 1Password 3 to the new API is because they pulled it from the store -- in order to force all users to upgrade for $18.

I've been using 1Password for a couple of years. I will probably switch soon given the current state of their Android app, but maybe this OSX update is a hint at a visual refresh for all of their products?

I hear that there will be more than a visual refresh of the Android app (it will fully participate in the 1Password ecosystem for update and read, less iCloud support)—but it will be released when it’s ready.

In other words, Real Soon Now http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/r/RealSoonNow.html
