1Password touch Pro 2.1 gets its iPhone OS 3.0 groove on

Today is iPhone OS 3.0 day, and we had to get in on the fun with a new version of 1Password touch for iPhone and iPod touch. The "standard" version will continue to sell for $4.99 in the App Store, and it is now iPhone OS 3.0 compatible.

But 1Password touch Pro 2.1 hops on the iPhone OS 3.0 train in a big way by gaining new features like Copy & Paste and an all-new bookmarklet for Safari (click here to get it). We also have some big features planned for it—such as wireless WebDAV sync—so to celebrate, it's on sale from its regular price for just $5.99. Get it while it's hot, folks.

Both versions have gained a backup feature that allows users with a modern browser to securely back up and restore their 1Password touch information. This feature works regardless of whether you use 1Password on the Mac, or even a Mac at all. Windows and Linux users, this one is especially for you.

To show off the new features in 1Pt Pro 2.1, as well as the backup feature of both versions, we made y'all a short screencast. It clocks in at less than two minutes, so give it a whirl, check out our documentation, comment here on the blog, or check out our forums if you need more information or just want to say hi.

1Password Now Available in App Store!

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 :)

1Password Coming Soon to an App Store Near You

Now that the iTunes App Store is open many people want to know where the 'native' version of 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch is. Well, I'm proud to say that not only do we have one in the works but it is almost ready and it looks GORGEOUS too!

Roustem and Dan have been burning the midnight oil for the last month making 1Password for iPhone amazing and we just submitted it to the App Store. Once Apple approves our submission 1Password will be added to the App Store. We don't know how long approval will take but likely by this time next week you should be able to find 1Password there and install it.

Below is a sneak peek at how to use 1Password for iPhone/iPod touch so you are ready to use it when it becomes available.

iPhone Password Manager

Since before the iPhone was released, passionate 1Password users have been begging us to support it. As Canadians we couldn't even get one, so Roustem and I travelled to Chicago to purchase a few for development.

After several grueling weeks, we are proud to announce that 1Password 2.5 sports a new icon on its toolbar!

Sync to iPhone will export all your 1Password data to an encrypted Safari Bookmarklet, which can then be used on the iPhone (or iPod Touch) to access all your information. Of course everything is encrypted with some seriously strong cryptography, namely 448-bit Blowfish with Cipher Block Chaning (CBC) and randomized salt.

Without further ado, let's see how this works!
