Carl and Shawn King will discuss 1Password on Your Mac Life Show tonight

Tune-in to the live video or audio feed of Your Mac Life show tonight between 8:30pm to 11:00pm EST to hear our Carl and Shawn King talking about 1Password: Your Mac Life show – Alien Skin & 1Password.

From the YML site:

What's your password? It's a question we get "asked" constantly while using the Internet. Most of us have fairly simple to remember passwords and we often use the same password for multiple web sites/situations. Agile Web Solutions makes 1Password and their Chief Evangelist will be on tonight's show to talk about how it can not only create strong passwords and remember them for you, it can also prevent phishing, auto-fill forms, sync with .Mac and much more.

Come join us!

Happy Birthday Dave

Birthdays around here usually result in great 1Password deals for everyone and today is no exception. Today only you can get anything in the store for 42.9% percent off. Just use this link to obtain the discount. Personally, I think Dave started the "celebration" a little early this year as this is a huge discount.

After you finished in the store, stop by the forums and wish Dave a Happy Birthday. Did someone say roast? :)

Happy Birthday, Dave!

1Password coming to the literary world

It is amazing the things we learn about from 1Password. On a daily basis we correspond with people from all walks of life. People from countries all over the world and from just about every industry and background you can imagine. I remember a few months back talking with someone who was using 1Password in the relief effort in Darfur. I was just fascinated by the thought of our software being used in those conditions. I have heard stories from a lot of other people as well and sometimes they cause diversions as I check their stuff out as was the case with the custom motorcycle builder awhile back. Most recently I corresponded with a Vietnam-era helicopter pilot and learned some interesting things. So when Carolyn Wilma (the Contest Queen) approached us several months ago about her contesting book it certainly was par for the course. She was interested in the use of 1Password for entering contests and sweepstakes and her upcoming book is now available for pre-order.

You can pre-order the U.S. edition of the book You Can't Win If You Don't Enter! using by clicking here.

There is a short section on 1Password in the book that yours truly helped on.

I hope it is wildly successful unlike my book entitled How I turned 10 million dollars in real estate into $50 cash. Still not sure why that one didn't get more audience. Tough crowd out there. :)

Fluid support comes to 1Password

Since the Fluid was released we have had many requests to integrate 1Password into this site specific browser.

1Password version 2.6 addresses this and now Fluid support is available! 2.6 is not officially released yet but it is available now in beta. You can upgrade to the beta by going to 1Password > Preferences > Updates, clicking "Include BETA versions when checking for updates", and then clicking "Check Now".
