Agile Web Solutions today announced 1Password 3 is officially out of beta and available for sale. The upgrade offers several new features, an upgraded (and better) interface, and full 64-bit support for Snow Leopard.
I’ve been in the beta for quite awhile and appreciate the many changes and UI refinements. It feels more like a Mac app now than ever before.
Users can also now organize their software licenses in a new, dedicated 1Password Vault category, customize exactly what information syncs to 1Password touch on an iPhone or iPod touch, attach and encrypt virtually any file in 1Password, use Smart Search to filter for just the right results, use tags throughout 1Password for new organizational power, edit 1Password items directly from its browser extensions, and more. For months the beta builds have been rock solid.
It is a paid upgrade, though users who purchased 1Password 2 on or after February 1, 2009 get free license upgrades to version 3. All other owners of 1Password versions 1 or 2 can take advantage of a limited-time, Early Bird Upgrade Discount. Through the end of November, save 50% off the purchase of a single license upgrade at $19.95 USD, or save 57% off a Family Pack upgrade of five licenses for just $29.95. Full licenses cost $39.95 for single users, and $69.95 for Family Packs.

Having already posted about 1Password a few days ago, this post is probably over the top but their add artwork was too cute to pass up. For today only, MacZot has 1Password for half off. I reviewed 1Password last year. I use this application every day. If you have any password management issues or simply want to do it better with unique, secure logins for every site, you really should jump on this.

So I woke up this morning to discover the 1Password iPhone application is now available in the iPhone AppStore. Being the fearless soul I am, I downloaded it and installed it immediately. The sync process was flawless and while there are a few bugs (Agile reports 1.1 is already in the pipeline), I must say it is very nice having my favorite password application in my pocket.

Well I probably sound like a 1Password fanboy and … upon reflection … I realize that I am.
Tonight I booted up my favorite password, secure data, kitchen sink application to find out there is another update. This is no small update either. The list of new and repaired features is thorough. When I met 1Password developer Dave Taere, we just immediately clicked. He is passionate about making 1Password the best application possible and he is delivering. Enough of my rambling though. Upgrade your 1Password and check out this feature list.
