1Password was accepted into the App Store early Tuesday morning and the flood gates were opened! Email and forum posts just poured in for the first 48 hours and while things have calmed down a bit the mail is 300% higher than normal still.
On Tuesday we set a new record for the most users online in our forum with 1,071 people coming to learn about the new application. These users posted over a 1000 posts along with almost 1000 direct emails.
Needless to say, it has been a crazy week here at Agile! Our main Customer Support specialists Gita, Carl are doing a fantastic job, and the rest of the team has been pitching in as much as possible while still trying to update web sites, 1Password versions, and everything else that needed to be done despite the ongoing Tsunami.
Thankfully we all had a lot of BrainToniq to keep us going :)
Using 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch
To use this new application you need to install the latest version of 1Password for Mac and download 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch from the App Store.
The best way to get up to speed is by watching a video. Don McAllister, renowned creator of ScreencastsOnline.com has made a great video on using 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch. Better yet, you can subscribe to Don's RSS feed for this and other great videos: RSS Feed (HD) or RSS Feed (iPod)
The User Guide for the iPhone application is in its infancy but provides a good start: User Guide

In the News
While this has been a very stressful week, we are elated by the fantastic feedback we have received from everyone on how much they enjoyed 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch as well as pointing out where we need to improve.
By the second day, 1Password had already jumped into the Top 50 Free Applications list. Yesterday I took this screenshot on my iPhone for use in this blog post:
Amazingly just one day later 1Password jumped to within a hair of the Top 25!
As you can see, 1Password is at #26 (on the US store), just behind Magic8ball. While I like the 8 Ball, I love the Top 25 list and am hoping for the best! In fact, in Germany, 1Password has made the Top 10 list and is sitting at #5:
In addition to the Top Free Applications list, the reviews 1Password has gotten so far are amazing! Over 200 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5 stars have been written!
As if that was not enough, posts like this one from ZDNet by Jason D. O'Grady kept us smiling as we answered over 1000 messages:
On 10 June 2008 I wrote that the #1 missing iPhone feature was a keychain-type of application that stored passwords so that they could easily be entered into Web forms.
I use that in the past tense because Apple has approved Agile Web Solutions’ 1Password iPhone application for distribution in the App Store. Rejoice! The iPhone client is a free download and synchronizes with the 1Password desktop application (US$35).
It’s a truly must-have application in today’s world of a million passwords and logins for everything.
Thank you Jason and everyone else for the wonderful posts about 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch.
Please keep the reviews and comments coming, but, please do allow a week for us to recover before expecting a reply :)
