1Password 2.5.12 Released! Safari 3.1 Support and Many Enhancements

1Password 2.5.12 was released today and includes support for the new Safari 3.1 update that was included in the recent Apple Software Update.

Since the release we have had over 200 emails kindly asking if we knew 1Password was broken in the new Safari update. Amazingly, Dan set a new Customer Service record today by answering 190 tickets! This update should slow the tide of questions.

This update is not limited to Safari, however. In fact, this is the biggest release we have had for quite some time. The changelog has over 40 items in it! Below are the highlights of what we have been busy building over the the last 5 weeks, along with a full change log at the bottom.

Despite this huge list of enhancements, this update is a FREE update to all 1Password license holders.

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Support in 1Password 2.5.11

1Password 2.5.11 was released today to support the upgraded Safari that was included in the recent Mac OS X 10.5.2 (Leopard) update.

Also in this version we have improved 1Password for iPhone significantly as well as updated 1Password to work better with the Camino 2.6 Beta release as well as the bleeding edge of Firefox 3.

Here are the details on the biggest changes along with some screenshots; the full changelog is included at the end of this post.

Safari AutoFill for iPhone and iPod touch

1Password brings AutoFill support to Safari on iPhone and iPod touch!

Every iPhone and iPod touch user has cringed when they realized that Mobile Safari does not remember web site logins. Coupled with the fact Copy and Paste is nonexistent on the iPhone, users were forced to type their login information every time they wanted to access any password protected site.

The latest version of 1Password has the ability to sync to iPhone/iPod touch which will store all login information as a bookmarklet. When opened, this bookmarklet will allow automatic login into any website.

1Password 2.5.9 Released

1Password 2.5.9 was released today with a changelog that includes over 40 items! This is a huge "minor" point release, but it is still a free upgrade to all existing customers of 1Password. In fact, this is the 64th free update we've released since we began selling 1Password almost 2 years ago. Time sure flies when you are having fun :)

Here are the details on the biggest changes along with some screenshots; the full changelog is included at the end of this post.

1Password 2.5.8 Supports Firefox 3

1Password version 2.5.8 was updated today to include support for the Firefox 3 beta! With over 27 months of development and almost two million lines of code changes made by the Mozilla team, we were really nervous about how much effort would be required to support this new version of Firefox. The 1Password extension is a lot more complex than most extensions and so we were anticipating a lot of pain, but we were pleasantly surprised.

Website Overhaul Coming Soon(ish)

from the mind of Dan Peterson, lead Agile designer.

Me, myself and I

Wow, my first Switchers' Blog post! As some of you probably already know I'm the lead designer for Agile Web Solutions. So far I've pretty much been working behind the scenes for AWS trying to improve on the visual aspects of all things Agile. Today I'd like to share a little something with all of you and I'd love to hear some feedback from the people I'm really doing all this work for.

What's New in 1Password 2.5?

1Password version 2.5 has just been released!

The 2.5 release is the biggest update that 1Password has ever had and brings support for Leopard, iPhone, and a completely new look and feel.

Despite all this great new features and improvements, version 2.5 is a FREE upgrade to all existing customers of 1Password! This is just one of our ways of saying "Thanks" for being our customer. Thank You!

If you already have 1Password installed, you can upgrade to 2.5 by selecting "Check for Updates" from the main 1Passwd application menu. If you don't have 1Password installed or want to install it manually, you can download the latest version here.

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!

1Passwd in Information Week

We're like a bunch of little kids whenever we see 1Passwd mentioned in magazines. That was the case today when we found out that Information Week chose 1Passwd as one of the 14 Apps it recommended in it's Complete, Unvarnished, Slightly Biased Apple Buyers' Guide.

Here's the direct link to the1Passwd part and the start of the software portion of the article.

1Passwd 2.4.7 Released

This new release adds support for the Leopard Developer Preview of OS X and improves overall system security and stability. This upgrade is free to all 1Passwd customers.

This release is packed full of "Blood and Tears" as supporting Leopard was incredibly hard. Now with that behind us we can get back to work on version 2.5! Yes, the much anticipated Wallet features and other cool features really are coming soon. As long as Apple doesn't release yet another beta in the next few weeks, we should be fine :)
