1Password for Mac, the popular password management app that we love here at 9to5Mac, has been updated to version 4.1 with a huge list of improvements, fixes, and additions. The first of these new additions is a new multi-column display mode with customizable column sizes.
One of the key changes to the app’s browser plugin is an updated auto-save system for new logins. Whenever you enter a password on a site you haven’t previously saved, 1Password will offer to store the password for you. With today’s update, you’ll now be able to use this feature to update existing passwords that have been previously saved. You can also tag your new auto-saved items right from the auto-save panel.
Also new with this update, you’ll now be able to set any custom field as a password field in the app. That means the contents of that field will be hidden by default just like it would be for a regular password field. You can then search these fields—and all fields in every saved item—with the updated search function.
Other tweaks and updates include the ability to print out your entire list of saved items (be careful what you do with that list!), security enhancements, bug fixes for issues with syncing, and more.
The update will be available this afternoon on the 1Password website, and is currently in review for the Mac App Store (Update: available now). You’ll also want to grab the iOS version for keeping your data in sync between all of your devices.

This password manager seem very expensive (and Mac/iOS only). What does it offer that lastpass.com doesn’t?
If you are asking that question, then you already know the answer. If not, do your research. All the features and specs are listed. NOT to mention a crap load of online reviews and comparisons.
It has a windows version. I did my research long time ago so things could have changed, but lastpass does require a premium account to use on mobile?

Have you ever visited their site or searched for comparisons of password manager products? What about data breaches, have you searched what security products have had issues in the past? Found any? Would you trust them going forward?
I didn’t think so…
It seems like they also added a couple of clicks in the process to use your passwords. Is it just me?
I like the “multi-column” view. It was a feature Acrylic Software’s “Wallet” had and missed.
I was hoping they had a black friday sale or something, maybe the holidays. I am very interested/intrigued but at $50 this is definitely not cheap.
I use this product and find it worth every penny – Tell me what price do you put on your stolen identity? – its also not Mac/iOS only – It might be fruitful for you to check their website to see what OSs they support?

Not only is it pricey, but why the heck is 9to5 NOT using Discus for forums? I have being required to use Twitter (or FB, WP, or NSA+).
Can you sync the iOS windows version and Mac version all together and keep your data out of the cloud? If it can do that, I’ll buy it
they have a wifi sync while yer devices are both on the same network.
read about it first, i found it to be a bit limited and it doesn’t happen automatically. You have to open special windows on both ends and click sync.
Thanks for the info — that’s fine with me. For some reason, I’m not seeing the latest update in the appstore (mac version which I bought). I think I will buy the iOS and windows versinos tomorrow.
It supports Dropbox syncing on every platform! Set that up and everything is automatic and instant.
Check the link below for an explanation of their sync processes.

I’ve been looking at 1Password for a while. I think its capabilities are pretty awesome, and lord knows I need a password manager of some sort. But the deal-breaker for me is having to use their browser on iOS, not my preferred Safari. I know this is Apple’s fault for not allowing extensions in iOS and they do in OS X. Still, it’s not a sacrifice I’m willing to make. I’ll use OneSafe to keep track of my passwords until this issue is hopefully resolved.
