Version 2.3 of 1Passwd is now available! Roustem and I are very proud of this release — it is by far the best release we’ve ever had! Many new features, slick UI and a whole host of other changes make this a required upgrade for everyone. Best of all, this is a FREE upgrade to all existing customers.
New Look-and-Feel
Even the most demanding Mac aficionado will find the new 1Passwd enjoyable to look at! We changed the entire design to use a unified look-and-feel:
This unified look has much less spacing and is much more pleasing on the eye.
We also cleaned up the preferences, and even have a new locked screen:
The locked screen now allows you to enter your password directly, and details why the keychain is locked, along with instructions on how to loosen the automatic locking setting, if desired.
Folders
The new folder feature allows you to categorize your Web Forms and Secure Notes to make them easy-to-navigate.
1Click Login Bookmarks
Needing to remember a website URL can be just as demanding as remembering your user id and password; especially when switching browsers. 1Click Login Bookmarks solve this problem.
1Click bookmarks allow you to open a web page, fill the form, and optionally submit the form, all with a single click or keyboard combination. These bookmarks come in two flavours.
First, you can create bookmarks in your favorite browser for easy access:
This tutorial shows how to create 1Click bookmarks in your browser.
The second option is to use the All Browser Bookmarks application. This separate application provides you “Go & Fill” access to all your saved Web Forms directly from the main Apple Menu, without needing to open the main 1Passwd application.
The All Browser Bookmarks application is FREE to everyone, and available for download here.
Removed Locked / Unlocked ‘Ignition’
When we designed the new icon, our idea was to have the key be placed into the ignition and turned to the ON position when the keychain was unlocked, and in the OFF position when it was locked.
This idea was great in theory, but in practice the icon was too small on the Dock to be recognizable. We’ve decided to always display the icon on the dock as the standard icon.
Configurable Toolbar Theme
We had many discussions with user’s after we changed the browser icon several releases ago. The icons were too small to show the locked vs. unlocked states, so we scraped that idea. We also decided it would be best if we made it customizable:
There are now 5 browser themes available, including the Classic Key!

We already have our plates full of improvements planned for version 2.4. The automatic form filling algorithm will be greatly improved in the next release, and we have some other fun things planned too!
Stay tuned!
