I've been meaning to write about 1Password. I've been using it for a few months and it is a really great application. The basic idea is this: each and every website gets its own strong password (say 20 random characters with numbers and punctuation). So now A ) you aren't using weak dictionary passwords on Amazon or your bank or whatever and B ) if scrubsite.com has their passwords hacked it's not the same password as your Amazon 1-Click. There are toolbars for each of the major browsers to easily input your saved passwords, and the whole shebang is locked in an OS X keychain, behind a single version. A native iPhone version is promised, but even now there's a trick with a Javascript bookmarklet that lets you store the passwords on your iPhone as well. I highly recommend 1Password. It does all that password security that you know you *should* do, but can't really bother with in real life. If you don't have it and you're a Mac user, think seriously about taking advantage of this sale!
