iPhones, iPods, and iPads forum: Password Manager

Thank you Paul7. I'll try 1Password as you suggested.

Give the program a chance. I know $35 seems like a lot, but it's definitely worth it. The program is really that good. The developers are responsive and actually *listen* to their users! (you can browse the forums to observe this). The program is constantly improving, and you get a lot of free updates that offers new features, not just bug fixes. It has become one of those programs that I depend on. For example, I just love how easy it is to automatically fill in forms or your login information with a simple keystroke from within any browser. (and it also does this on the iPhone too!) I think many would agree that it's the best Password manager available for the Mac... and now possibly on the iPhone too!

As for entering the passwords to your iPhone, you can import your Safari/Firefox passwords into the desktop app, and then sync it with the iPhone app. You don't need the desktop app to use the iPhone version.

If you haven't been to their website yet, check it out (and watch the video) at http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password
The video describes clicking on buttons to fill in your password, but you can just use the keyboard shortcut key instead (command + \).

If you are willing to wait, it sometimes goes on sale on MacUpdate Promo (http://www.mupromo.com) or MacZot (http://maczot.com/). It's a long time to wait, but I believe MacZot always gives a discount on April 13 (the birthday of one of the developers).

1Password is definitely too expensive, try iAccounts,

I tried many password manager and I admit that iAccounts is definitely the best, It syncs for FREE over wi-fi with a small but nice application called iBackup. You can download it and use it for free from the company web site. It's a free desktop app, no jokes.

IAccounts has a flexible record structure and is truly polished. You can store all your credentials, from website accounts to card numbers and social security stuff. Real nice UI, very cool brushed metal backgrounds, flexible record structure, etc, etc. And the free backup utility just rocks! Syncs on both MAC and WINDOWS. Give it a try, the company support is real good, there's a few view videos on their web site as well.

Hey abdell67,
Have you tried Strip? It's a really straightforward password app with some pretty cool features like shake-n-make password generator, url launch straight from app and customized field with easy to use search options. And now it comes with Strip Sync-- which allows you to replicate databases on multiple devices.
