1Password for iPhone
1Password
Here’s some
excellent news for iPhone owners, 1Password have
decided to release their iPhone version
of the Mac
application absolutely FREE......
Yep thats right, one of the best Mac app’s ever (In
my opinion anyway) is going to be available FREE
hopefully by the end of next week. (25th July)
Unlike the Mac version of 1Password, the iPhone/iPod
touch application will be constantly closed and
opened throughout the day.
Not only is the device turned off frequently (i.e.
placed in your pocket) but only one application can
run at a time so 1Password will be constantly closed
and opened as you multitask.
Because of this unique usage pattern we did not want
to require a Master Password every time 1Password was
opened. Since you will often be accessing “less
important” login details like Forum logins, Digg
accounts, etc, we use an Access Code to open
1Password.
The Access Code is a 4 digit number that allows you
to quickly open 1Password without entering your full
Master Password. Since the Access Code is short and
only contains digits it can be entered very quickly,
but as a consequence items protected only by the
Access Code are not as secure.
For items that require a higher level of security,
such as bank accounts, a real password is needed to
keep your data safe and secure.
These types of accounts are used less frequently so
requiring a full password to be typed when using them
will not be a burden.
You can configure each item in 1Password to be
protected by your Master Password. In 1Password for
Mac this is called a Security Level.
Users of 1Password for Mac will want to keep their
iPhone/iPod touch data in sync with their Mac.
To start the sync process, tap on the Sync icon to
bring up the Sync screen.
The local network will be searched for any running
1Password applications. If none are found you will be
presented with the Search screen as 1Password
continues to search:
To sync with your Mac, start 1Password on your Mac
and then open the iPhone Sync window by selecting
Sync > Sync to iPhone… menu item:
