David Chartier featured 1Passwd in this week's The Unoffical Apple Weblog podcast.

See the TUAW post to watch the full movie.

What an amazing month March has been! First 1Passwd was mentioned in MacWorld, and now a full TUAW podcast dedicated to 1Passwd. Now all we need is some more sunshine up north here so Roustem and I can code longer :)

MacWorld says 1Passwd is "Hot Stuff"

In April's edition of Mac World, Mac World is "raving" about 1Passwd in their Hot Stuff column:

It was an honour to be mentioned in Mac World.

1Passwd Improves Your Health!

The emails sent by our users are always a great source of inspiration. A single e-mail can lift you up and bring your passion and productivity to a new level. Yesterday we got something very special. This is the e-mail sent to us by Dr. Michael Reith, MS, Occupational Therapist, Certified Hand Therapist:

What a relief! Stressed by worry and the inability to remember passwords, your product is the best purchase I have ever made. In this time of so many warnings about internet security, your product is a healing balm. 1password works wonderfully and fully meets everything I could ask of such a product. You may not realize how much stress you have removed from the lives of users. And, as a health care professional, i am convinced that stress is a leading cause of disease. So, it is not stretching the truth to say that you are improving the lives AND the health of your users. Keep up the good work, and thank you for a product that is worth all that I paid for it.

It feels great to know that our product is improving the lives and health of our users!

My son even wrote this poem:

My friend,
Take the doctor's advise:
Use 1Passwd and stay healthy, wealthy and wise!

P.S.: For more information about the danger of stress and why it is called America's No. 1 Health Problem see the web site of the American Institute of Stress.

1Passwd 2.3.7 Released

Over the weekend Roustem and I released a new version of 1Passwd, namely v2.3.7. For a “minor point release” this is a surprisingly packed-full release!

You can download and install 1Passwd here, or, if you already have 1Passwd installed, you can upgrade by selecting the Check For Updates… menu item in the 1Passwd application:

Now, without further ado, here’s the rundown on the new stuff:

I would like to buy Windows Vista...

Big thanks to the Joy of Tech for the fun:

Liquifile

Liquifile is a unique file management tool for Mac OS X.

I tried it a few months ago and didn’t quite grasp the concept. David and I met Liquifile’s creator Carsten Waldeck at MacWorld Expo and he re-introduced us to this great program.

Supercharge Your Keychain

Roustem and I will be heading out to MacWorld Expo next week; it looks like it will be an incredible event! We decided not to have a booth this year; instead electing to enjoy the show and see the entire expo as visitors first. Next year, we’ll definitely have a booth.

I hope to meet you there. You can drop us an email (or comment here) and we can meet up. We are also having a 1Passwd users meet and greet and hope to see you there too.

For the Expo we needed to have new business cards created; 1Passwd didn’t exist when we created the originals.

1Passwd 2.2 Released; includes Palm support

1Passwd version 2.2 was released today! This version is a free upgrade to all existing customers, including those who participated in MacHeist. To upgrade to 2.2, simply use the “Check for Updates” menu item from within the main 1Passwd application, or follow these instructions to update manually.

1Passwd 2.1 Brings Support For NetNewsWire Browser

1Passwd version 2.1 was released today sporting a new logo, NetNewsWire support and a tonne of new features and improvements. This is a free upgrade to everyone, including winners of the MacHeist event.

MacHeist Number 2 Starts!

MacHeist round #2 is up and running!

I just finished the heist and it was quite difficult! Be prepared to find things hiding in plain sight!

Unlike round #1, the rewards for the second heist are not secret. Crafty heisters will grab themselves a copy of the Cha-Ching Cash Manager and our very own 1Passwd Password Manager.

Happy Heisting!
