If your like me, and are members of hundreds of different sites, keeping up with all of your user names and passwords can get to be a big hassle. And with all of the phishing scams out there today it is just not safe to use the same password and user name to all of the sites and forums you visit like I used to do. I mean think about it, do you trust the owners of some of the sites you belong to? They could very easily try your user name and password to some other sites and get on to your account. The ideal thing to do is have a different user name and password to each site that you are a member of. But who can keep up with that many? 1Passwd to the rescue. 1Passwd is a new password manager for the Apple Macintosh that is integrated right into your browser. Not only does it Integrate into your browser but what makes it unique is it is integrated into the OS X Keychain also. Ask yourself these questions. • Do you use the same password on multiple websites because it's easier to remember that way? • Are your passwords simple because they are easier to remember that way? (hence easier to crack) • Do you write your passwords down? • Do you forget to back up your passwords frequently, or not at all? If you answered yes to any of these questions, do yourself a favor and get this software immediately. Try it out Free at 1Passwd 1Passwd is easy to use and very convenient. It's features include: • Password Manager - let 1Passwd do the work for you so you don't have to remember all your user names and passwords. • Data Import feature, so if you use Safari's Autofill, Firefox's Password Manager, or Robo Form. 1Passwd makes it a snap to Import all of that data. • Automatic Inactivity Timeout • Strong Encryption • Form Filler - I love this feature, no more do you have to type in name, address, phone number, email. The software does it for you, not to mention you can have multiple identities. • Easy backup of your Keychain integrated passwords. • Phishing prevention. • Thwart key loggers. • And lastly Multiple Machines support. It's ease of use is outstanding, I mean you go to a new site that you have to sign up for. Push one button and 1Passwd fills out the signup form for you, generates a password and remembers it all. The next time you go to that site you press command backslash and everything is filled in for you automatically. Now there are more advanced features to the software and I am not going to go over all of them in this review but, you can name the profiles and each separate site whatever you would like and manage it all through one master password. Isn't it much easier to only remember one password for the 1Passwd program and let 1Passwd generate and remember all of the others for you. Phishing and identity theft has gotten out of hand. What is phishing you ask? Do you get emails daily stating that you need to login to your bank, because there is some strange activity going on with your account? Or login to Paypal and verify your password. People fall for this trick everyday. You click the link in the email, and it takes you to a sign in page that looks identical to the real thing, and and as soon as you type in your user name and password and push enter, your in Big Trouble, because you have just given a hacker your credentials to that site. In comes 1Passwd to the rescue. If you get tricked and accidentally go to one of these sites, 1Passwd knows that this is not the real site and therefore when you try to use 1Passwd to fill in your info for you, it will come up as no info saved for this site. I am a new Mac user, having been a PC guy for the past 15 years, and let me tell you this software I couldn't or wouldn't do without. All it takes is for you to get scammed one time and you would have wished you had this software. Don't let that happen too you! It makes a great gift for the holiday season, and in my opinion it is a must have for any Mac user. I give 1Passwd a Big two thumbs up, and highly recommend that you don't delay.
