NIGHTONE Sometimes it is the little things that make life great. 1Passwd falls into this category. After switching to Mac in the fall of 2005 I started the journey to "replace' all of my PC applications with Mac equivalents. Some were easy such as Microsoft Office. However, at the end of a few months it became clear that there simply wasn't a replacement for Roboform for Windows. I searched long and hard and after almost a year, I ran across 1Passwd. While 1Passwd is not Roboform, it is certainly a trusty replacement. It is being actively improved and provides the main functionality of Roboform. So what does 1Passwd do you for you? Very simply, 1Passwd is a smart web password manager and form filler. What distinguishes this application from "other" OS X password vaults is its integration with the browser. This is the real power of 1Passwd. Once you start using 1Passwd you no longer have to remember your hundreds of web logins. You only need to remember 1 main password. (thus the name) When you browse to a site, simply hit Command \ and the username and password are automatically filled. (and submitted if you choose) More importantly, unlike Safari's auto-fill, it actually works on banking and financial sites that block Safari's auto-fill. 1Passwd also allows you to fill web forms for orders, registrations, etc. using multiple identities. All info can be synced to multiple machines using Apple's .Mac service. Finally, 1Passwd has recently added Secure Notes to save your registration codes and other private information. To summarize, 1Passwd does what no other Mac password manager does and will cure the addictions for those switchers who miss their Roboform functionality. (Version 1.5.3509) |
