Just a quick recommendation \u2013 if you\u2019d like to have a multiple-family member licensed, password management application that works in Windows and OS X, you might want to try 1Password from AgileBits<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Through the end of November 2011, they\u2019re offering a <\/font>50% off sale<\/font><\/a>, which makes their software a significantly<\/strong> better value than normal<\/font>.\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The software is updated frequently, they respond on twitter<\/a> quickly, \u2026 a great little company based in Canada.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve hooked the application\u2019s password store to my DropBox<\/a> account for easy multiple-machine and OS synchronization. <\/p>\n

It includes a slick extension for Chrome to make saving and using logins pain free. <\/p>\n

There are six standard types of secured information it can store:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notes is sort of the \u201ccatch all.\u201d <\/p>\n

The only thing that bothers me is how nice the OSX version looks and how antiquated the Windows version is. On Twitter, I referred to it as \u201cbeing hit by an ugly stick.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a shame too \u2013 Windows applications don\u2019t need to look like a bad version of the Windows File Explorer. \"Sad It baffles me as to why it doesn\u2019t look more like the Mac version. From a quick exploration of the way the EXE was built \u2013 (hey, remember where you\u2019re reading this) it looks like they may have used Delphi! I know Delphi can do better than this \u2013 I was writing Delphi 1 applications that used background texturing, 256 bit color (yes, yes, that was actually a big deal back in the day), fancy rounded buttons\u2026 (yeah yeah, I know).<\/p>\n

You can add attachments to the various accounts and notes:<\/p>\n

They also have an interesting feature where you can access your secure logins anywhere (as long as the files are available on the web) with a little bit of setup. It\u2019s called 1PasswordAnywhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any case, it\u2019s a slick program as features go. It\u2019s a bit geeky in functionality for the Windows version, but no more so than KeePass, the application I\u2019m replacing. <\/p>\n
