CNET Editors' review
Anyone who uses the Web for a while knows that login information starts to pile up quickly. With online e-mail accounts, login information for online banking, and countless forums, most users start to use the same passwords for everything. It's pretty easy to see how this is a bad security practice.
Fortunately, you can download 1Password, which remembers all your passwords so you don't have to. Simply come up with a secure master password and then train 1Password to log in to sites for you. It integrates seamlessly with Apple's Mac OS X Keychain and generates complex passwords for you, making it impossible for anyone to crack your code. What's more, you can use 1Password's Go Fill option to automatically login to your favorite sites (think of it as super secure bookmarks) to get you where you want to be quickly.
You can organize your software licenses all in one section, and you can access 1Password from other computers, as well as sync it with your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad--and the app can now integrate closely with the free Dropbox service, for "syncing to the cloud." An easy-to-use Sync Conflict Resolver helps you manage differences in data between multiple devices. Overall, if you have a lot of logins for several Web sites, 1Password is the best software available to keep your logins secure without having to remember tons of passwords.
Publisher's Description
From Agile Web Solutions:
1Password is a Password Manager that uniquely brings you both Security and Convenience. It is the only program that provides Anti-Phishing protection and goes beyond password management by adding Web Form Filling and Automatic Strong Password Generation. All your confidential information, including passwords, identities, and credit cards, is kept in one secure place provided by Apple's OS X Keychain. 1Password browser extensions support Safari, Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb, DEVONagent, NetNewsWire, Netscape Navigator, and Flock. All browser extensions share the data stored in the keychain which means you never need to manually copy your passwords between browsers or from the password manager to a browser ever again.

"an app you must have"
Version: 1Password 3.8.19
Pros
Easy to use. especially the key generator to make a password which is safe. you can use the app on different macs, iphone, ipad and ipod touch. The same passwords on different browsers and macs. Remember you must use Dropbox to use 1Password on different Mac's or PC's.
Cons
The price. When you have only 1 windows PC it is certainly too expensive. But when you have more PC's or more Mac's and several portable devices as iPad , iPhone and iPod Touch it is worth.

"Simplifies your online experience"
Version: 1Password 3.8.19
Pros
A very easy to use, useful program, which has simplified saving of the hundreds of passwords I have. Also has a convenient add-on for most browsers, which recognizes a previously used website and auto fills the password with one click. Contains a simple search feature to quickly find your password or website. Easy to use credit card and personal data entry for websites.
Cons
Add-on in Safari opens a new window each time you select a new webpage. Cumbersome to update passwords.
