1Passwd version 2.1 was released today sporting a new logo, NetNewsWire support and a tonne of new features and improvements. This is a free upgrade to everyone, including winners of the MacHeist event.
NetNewsWire Integration
By popular demand we added 1Passwd’s password management features to NetNewsWire. Users of the most popular RSS reader can now access all the power of 1Passwd’s password management features without needing to leave the built-in NetNewsWire browser.
Automatic Local Backups of Keychain
With thousands of users, we often get questions about restoring accidently deleted keychain entries and forgotten passwords (most often immediately following it being changed), and deletion of entire keychain files.
There is nothing we could do to restore these items or passwords (due to the high encryption), but we thought a safety net could help our users out of these problems when they occur.
The 1Passwd keychain is now automatically backed-up every day to the ~/Library/Keychains/backup directory. Up to a maximum of 31 copies will be kept before the oldest ones are removed.
Of course regular backups to remote storage is still important to prevent data loss, but we think this safety net would protect our users from possible heart break.
AutoSave Exclusion Rules
AutoSave is a very convenient feature that saves your time, but sometimes you don’t want it enabled for specific websites. The new AutoSave exclusion list will allow you to disable AutoSave for specific websites, while continuing to leave AutoSave enabled.
Help Spread the Word and Improve 1Passwd
As always, please let us know how to improve and feel free to leave your feedback here in the forum as well as MacUpdate and VersionTracker websites.
BTW - there are only 140 people on iUseThis that told the world they are using 1Passwd. We know there’s more people using it than that, so please cast your vote! :)
