That being said, Agile Web Solutions, the maker of 1Password recently launched the much awaited version 3 of 1Password. The new versions brings us a fancy new interface as well as some great features such as 1Password Anywhere.

1Password Anywhere allows you to view your information via web browser from Linux, Windows and of course the Mac. All you need is Safari or Firefox as well as access to your agile keychain. You can do this via USB stick or save your agile keychain in your DropBox account and your good to go.

Other great features of 1Password 3 are the ability to attach files to your item, editing your information via web browser, using tags to organize your items, the ability to organize software license and others. A total of over 50 new features that will make using 1Password all the better.

Syncing 1Password to the iPhone or iPod Touch also got better. You can now select the items that you want synced to your mobile device.

1Password is definitely a must have. I’m saying that from experience. So check out the new 1Password 3.0 here. Grab your copy if you don’t have one yet. It’s worth the money. Trust me. If you’re on 2.0, upgrade now!

1Password: It Just Keeps Getting Better

Billeo was developed to be a bill management application. It can track when bills are due, how much has been paid and can take snapshots of pages you are viewing. In addition, on Windows, it can keep track of your web passwords. This includes banking, credit card, email and some of those more risqué sites that you may or may not (but probably do) visit. The downside is the passwords are only stored on your computer and it’s Windows only.

Vidoop has come aboard and has not only created a great cross-browser application but they have a great security mechanism for keeping people out of your account. In order to log in (and install the toolbar/plugin), a user must first type their username, answer a security question and then verify by either telephone or email that they are in fact the user logging in. Finally, each time you want to log in during future sessions from that machine, a user has to pick out the three “types” of pictures that they chose during setup. This could be a computer, a fruit, an animal or almost anything else you can think of.

Finally, Passpack has made great advances in the security area. In addition to being able to access your information from almost anywhere on the internet, user’s information is never stored unencrypted on Passpack’s servers (it’s browser-side encrypted always) and can contain more than simple username and password combinations. This is great for storing other useful info like a bank account number or your hit list (if you’re in to that kind of thing). Tara, one of the founders of Passpack writes a great post of how to replace some of the tools that you may already be using with theirs (such as Google’s Browser Sync).

All-in-all there are some great tools for managing your passwords in your browser. Using these and other tools, you can keep both your information safe and your memory in tact.
