1Password for Mac and iPhone Gets Dropbox Cloud Synchronization

1Password for Mac and iPhone Gets Dropbox Cloud SynchronizationThe fantastic Mac and iOS password managing application 1Password has just gotten a fantastic little upgrade, finally bringing cloud synchronization between 1Password for Mac and 1Password Pro for iOS.

While 1Password has long been able to sync your passwords between your Mac and your iPhone, the process was a bit convoluted: you needed to use WiFi, and you needed to make sure the 1Password app was open while near your computer to suck down your data.

However, the new 3.3 update to 1Password for Mac and the 3.5 update to 1Password Pro for iOS brought Dropbox support to the mix, and the syncing process has become a lot more straight forward.

It’s a fantastic update. It’s just too bad that 1Password Pro is so expensive. 1Password is one of the easiest ways to keep your various online accounts secure, but the $14.99 price on the Dropbox syncable “Pro” version is probably a pretty big barrier to entry for most.

    Jesus – What a cheapskate. If you live in Berlin, then $15 has to represent, what, 4/5 large Lattes or something? I couldn’t do without 1Password and $14 to have my MBP and iMac’s passwords and other secure info all synced up is well worth it.

    Uh. I own 1Password Pro, and am happy with it. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s one of the most expensive apps on the App Store.

    Updates for iPhone 3G owners not running iOS 4 are no longer supported. Thanks a lot. Not only can I not find an iPhone 4 to buy, but software designers are leaving users with iPhone 3G on 3.1.3 behind already…
