SLOB  Still my favourite (tho recent data guardian looks nice, but doesn't have the same flexible notes frame, which now won't open on the icon click btw), except..

still brushed metal!?.. And could be nice to doubleclick on a record (or that same icon) and have it open in its own window - easier for editing imo.

SILVASURFER  As a registered user of Steel I am very pleased with the overall package. It does what it is supposed to do and well. Only comment I would make is that it has not been updated now for over a year and we have had no word from the developer. Shame, because with a few more added features it would be at the top of the class.

GUNTIS  When the Category is empty with no entries, double-clicking doesn't create new entry... If there is already one entry, then I can create another one with the double-click. Can this be corrected?

GUNTIS  Now when all iApps have Unified theme interface, maybe Steel could follow in their path?... Brushed metal now isn't as good as new smooth Unified theme.

MUDFLAPPER  I tested every single last password organizer for the Mac over the last few months, and Steel came out on top. I was leaning towards Wallet because of it's snazzy interface and icons, but there were just too many hiccups. I got all excited when Waterfall said they were going to ad dotMac/iDisk syncing so I could have one password database that I could get to from any Mac with a copy of Wallet. Turns out, they only added an import/export feature to your iDisk--a complete waste of time. I want it to just WORK. Like a Mac.

Steel, on the other hand, has been rock-solid since day one. It doesn't directly support dotMac syncing, but I've found a nifty workaround. Just save your database to a folder on your iDisk, and set the prefs to open that database automatically when launching Steel. Then, do the same with your copy at work or on your MacBook, make sure you sync your iDisk after saving your Steel database and BAM!--you're all set.

Anyway, if you're looking for the best password organizer for OSX, this is probably it.

DCT  Excellent. Easy to use. Easy to search. The developer is very responsive to questions and appreciates constructive comments and new feature ideas. Very stable... no crashing. Safe and secure.

POOLIE  Steel is the best Passwort Organize App for the Mac. I'm using it since one year now.

FLARCH  Out those i've tried, Steel is the best software of this type.

However, i find it's whole GUI a bit off. Not entirely happy with the restriction on fields either, or the use of the drawer.

Good, but not great.

RICHO  2 weeks in, registered, and this is the best password storage app I've personally found, esp for the price - imports pretty well too. (finally moved away from Realbasic Besafe ;).

ANONYMOUS  Eh?

Bout as much as it looks like iTunes. And what's the point. This is not the same type of thing.
