1Password is no longer ‘must have’ with iCloud Keychain
How do you like 1password compared to pwsafe?
I’ve been using the beta a few weeks and have had no issues at all. It maybe can be a tad slow but other than that it works perfectly. Fair play to Agilebits for the free upgrade to existing customers.
Test
So far liking iCloud Keychain more than 1Password.
I’ve been a beta tester for the past several weeks and I really love it. I haven’t had the luxury of trying out keychain on iCloud, but I will say that 1Password is a thousand times better than the regular keychain. It is much more versatile than the built-in keychain is on the OS, even without the syncing over cloud services option. You can store more types of information in it and you have the option to lock and unlock the ability to recall information at will with a master password. With Keychain, that information is recalled no matter what if you navigate to the right page – it’s ultimately less secure than 1Password is.
