MacHeist 3 - One week left

The guys at MacHeist unveiled their 3rd bundle in as many years last week and there is still time to take advantage of the deal. Some of you may know that 1Password was part of the free loot in MacHeist 1 and was included in the bundle for MacHeist 2. This years bundle has some great software in it and some of these apps normally the same or more as the price of the entire bundle. I use Little Snapper on a daily basis and Acorn is my graphics editor of choice for its ease of use for those of us that are graphically challenged. I've been wanting to pick up WireTap Studio for quite some time and its a steal at this price. Plus, 25% of the proceeds go to one of ten charities that you get to pick when you purchase the bundle. If you have not heard about the bundle, go check it out here.

Keeping Your Passwords in Sync with 1Password 2.9

1Password 2.9 is now released!

Those paying close attention will notice that the last version of 1Password (2.8.2) was released on August 1st, over two months ago! We normally publish new releases every 2 weeks on average, so for us this release has taken a lifetime!

The reason this release took so long, quite frankly, is we were all exhausted after the release of the iPhone version of 1Password. When 1Password was added to the App Store things were absolutely crazy here; I have never seen anything like it. I now have even more respect for Apple; the firestorm they must have endured is unfathomable.

Now that we are back at full strength, we of course have some surprises in store for you! Without further ado, let me introduce the solution to our #1 requested feature: Robust Alternative to MobileMe Syncing!

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".

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.

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.
