Carl Slawinski, the Chief Evangelist for Agile Web Solutions, provides an in-depth look at their utilities 1Password and 1Password touch. If you interact with any online services (and who doesn’t?), you have to manage log-in and passwords. In a world of increasing security risks, that becomes a more daunting and inconvenient task. 1Password and 1Password touch help you manage those challenges, and much more. In Part 1 of our conversation with Carl, he takes us through the history and basic functions of 1Password, including the ease of implementation, the anti-phishing capabilities, and the degree of security that they implement to protect your passwords.

It was nice “hearing” Carl talk about 1Password instead of merely “seeing” his many helpful comments in the Agile Web Solutions user forums. I rarely speak out like this about Mac software in general, but in the case of 1Password, I’m so passionate about it and use it so much, that I felt obligated. I recently retired from the software industry and I truly believe that not only is this one of the finest products available for the Mac, I feel the folks at AWS are a cut above many others in their professionalism and dedication to their products and more importantly, to their users. Putting users first is somewhat of an art lost to greed these days, and it’s so refreshing to watch how AWS does business. I’ve been using 1Password almost since its inception it is the most used application on my Mac. I commend AWS for developoing it and for remaining true to their users over the past few years.
