The folks at Agile Web Solutions are thankful for a lot of things, including finally getting 1Password 3 for Mac OS X 10.6 out the doors, but what they are most thankful for are their users, the people that allow them to do what they do. They have decided to give back to you, the users, by making both 1Password and 1Password Pro for the iPhone and iPod touch available for free for a limited time.
1Password is a handy utility app that allows you to safely store important personal information, like login info, passwords, credit cards, and even notes on your iPhone or iPod touch. It features two layers of security, the ability to backup your data and restore from your Mac, PC, or Linux-based computer, and automatic login so you won’t have to remember and type information in by hand. It gets even better if you own the desktop version of the software since you can sync all of your data to your mobile device wirelessly.
1Password, which is normally priced at $4.99, and 1Password Pro, which is normally priced at $7.99, are both available in the App Store for free until December 1st.
Like a crazed zealot, I’ve been stopping everybody I know with an iPhone/iTouch to tell them about this smoking hot deal. Most just give me a blank stare, mumble something, and move on. Andy was the only one who DLed, was checking it out, and even thanked me. But he’s in the camera department, the “A” operator, so you know he’s got brains. The rest of them just hang out on Facebook, oblivious to the need for strong password protection because they missed the brouhaha on Twitter a few months back. Losers.
This has to be one of my favorite comments of all time.
Too bad the desktop software is so expensive
