Yes, there are several utilities to help you manage passwords on Windows, but Mac OS X users love 1password for a reason: it’s amazing. Plus, there’s a free iPhone app tie-in!

In short, 1Password keeps track of all your web passwords, automates sign-in, guards from identity theft, and allows you to stop worrying about your safety while online. 1Password takes care of all your online passwords so you can use strong and unique passwords for every site and never forget any of them!

As I said already, there are tons of utilities out there that can do the password basics for you. But can your utility or software do these things:

Enters online usernames and passwords so that you don’t have to remember them.
Strong Password Generator automatically creates and fills passwords.
Built-in Anti-Phishing and Keylogger Protection provides security and peace of mind.
Take your information anywhere on your iPhone/iPod touch or Palm.

1Password keeps this information all in a database. You’ll set a master password, which you’ll use to access all of your others. No one will be able to see your saved passwords, as long as you don’t share that master one with anyone. Be sure to set this password as strong as possible, using all of the rules for creating good passwords.

When using strong random passwords it is important to be able to access your information where ever you go. 1Password provides solutions for iPhone/iPod touch and Palm so you can take your data anywhere. This is an excellent feature, because so many of us are always on the go. We cannot afford to lose or forget our passwords – or have them hacked!

Keep yourself safe and easily remember all of your login information using 1password.
