#2Isn't Apple about to release comparable native functionality into 10.9 in a few weeks?

#3Well, almost here.
Early adopters of 1Password 3 must wait a few more days in order to purchase a v4 upgrade from the web store.

Yes, but Apple's functionality only supports Safari on Apple devices. 1Password supports other browsers and Windows.

#6Can someone please list the advantages of using 1Password instead of Keychain Access? I can't find a simple difference list anywhere.

Haven't tried Mavericks beta. Is there a management interface for saved passwords or is it just the plain old Keychain Access utility?
All this "iCloud Keychain" hype looks like just a sync functionality on top of current implementation.

#8I'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 there for Linux. The point is that I already have my passwords and many notes in 1Password, and anything I switch to would have to sync with OS X and iOS.

#9I 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 where you are using weak passwords, or even repeated passwords. If you have used the same password on many sites, and one of those sites is compromised, you might want to change that password elsewhere, or better, make sure you use a unique strong password everywhere; so knowing what sites could be compromised is a huge help.
If you want to feel safe in the web, 1Password's high usability and new features will help you get there.

You can sync your passwords across multiple devices using DropBox. It will work with IE, FireFox, Chrome and Safari.
It will also allow you to share passwords (via Dropbox) between Macs and Windows machines. It can generate strong passwords as well.
