Have you ever wasted precious time trying to remember a password to an important web site? Or had to fight your way through email, special questions and "captchas" to reset your password? Do you use the same password over and over because you can't remember 50 different ones? Are you afraid someone might hack your password and access your bank account or other critical information? Are you not able to think of a "strong" password for your most important data?

If any or all of these are true of you, you need 1Password.

1Password is a program created by AgileBits, located in Toronto, Canada and is another indispensable app for me on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

What does 1Password do?

• Generates and securely stores all your passwords--accessible through a single master password.
• Accepts web site passwords both prospectively and retrospectively.
• Automatically saves log-in information for web sites you visit.
• Launches and logs in to password protected sites with a single click of the mouse.
• Generates strong passwords on demand.
• Stores an "identity" (allows you to autofill an entire web page with your demographic information with  a click of a single button).
• Stores credit card information filling in web pages with a single click
• Stores secure notes.
• Stores software licenses and access keys.
• Synchronizes your passwords between your Mac, your iPhone, and your iPad.
• Integrates into your web browser (via an extension) to make password and data even more accessible.

Using 1Password, I only have to remember a single password to access all my protected sites. I log in once, then merely click a link in 1Password. The software launches your browser and automatically logs into the web site. 

I use 1Password multiple times every day to access secure personal and professional information. You will too.
