RoboForm for Mac and iPhone

Along with the quite popular 3G iPhones, Apple's newly designed Macbooks are making quick exits off store shelves. As many of these purchases will be by "first-timers," it is a good time to re-visit 1Password.

1Password is a "RoboForm for the Mac and the iPhone." Indeed, it is a password-manager (and lots more!), which can be used on both the Mac and the iPhone (and iTouch, even). If you are familiar with RoboForm on the PC, you will know that it is a program you really can't live without once you have started to use it. Similarly, once you have used 1Password for the Mac or the iPhone you will see that 1Password is really more than just a "RoboForm for the Mac" or a "RoboForm for the iPhone." Instead, it is truly a unique program that has no peer either in Mac OS or Windows.

You can download 1Password for FREE to see if this is something you might like - what have you got to lose?

Securing your password.....and your wallet! (Using 1Password & RoboForm can keep you safe)

What do you think of when you think of security? Still thinking, right? Exactly. No surprise, then, that functionality and utility have taken the front seat when it comes to application development. Today, however, with the rampant spread of cross site scripting and sql injection attacks, not to mention the already inescapable viruses and malware that live and breathe on anything running Windows, things are starting to change.

One of the most important facets of security is your password - the key to the castle. Newsweek just came out with a great article on building a better password. But, for my money - and that's what we are really trying to protect a lot of the time when we are online - there is no better solution than 1Password. For those of you still in the unfortunate position of having to use a PC (and that is how I look at it), you can turn to a good solution like RoboForm. But, for those in the know, we use a RoboForm for the Mac, if you will.

I have written about 1Password before, so will let you read my other posts to find out about it. My point in this post is that if you want to be secure online you need to have good (at a minimum) password management. By this, I am talking about a password that is not easily going to be hacked by a brute-force attack - something not easily guessed. With 1Password, you get all of this. And, further, 1Password automatically fills all of your forms for you.

I will be writing more about security soon, but you can find out more about how to secure your Mac now with 1Password here.

After reading this article and the Newsweek article mentioned here, it is no small wonder that 1Password is the solution to this over 30-year-old problem.
