No Hacking Required: iPhone Password Manager uses an ingenious way to sync data to the iPhone

Do you use an application to help you keep track of all web passwords and for automated sign-in? If yes, chances are you currently missing it on your iPhone. Not any more as there is some good news for all you folks, the makers of 1Password have come up with with a clever way to sync your passwords with the iPhone as they have just announced "1Password for iPhone" which uses an ingenious way to sync data to the iPhone. All the details of the latest iPhone application and a step by step guide available after the jump.

Agile Web Solutions, the makers of 1Password have announced that 1Password 2.5 sports a new icon on its toolbar "Sync to iPhone" clicking on which will export all your 1Password data to an encrypted Safari Bookmarklet, which can then be used on the iPhone (or even iPod Touch) to access all your information.

In case you are worried about data security, David Teare, co-author of 1Password points out that everything is encrypted with some seriously strong cryptography, namely 448-bit Blowfish with Cipher Block Chaning (CBC) and randomized salt.

Unfortunately, 1Password is currently only available for Mac OS X.

Here is a step by step guide on how to get it to work with your iPhone courtesy David Teare over @ Switcher's blog:

  1. Thanks for the post! I'm glad you like 1Password for iPhone as much as we do. We have gotten a great response from this so far as most people don't want to hack their iPhone. If you saw the "Fido" network in the screen grabs, you can probably guess I don't mind ;)

    After the 1.1 update, however, I am very happy we did not complete the release of our "native" 1Password application and instead elected for a completely non-hack based approach.

    As you saw in my comment to the Switchers Blog article, we are definitely trying to extend this idea to perform the form filling automatically. We should have this done "soon"; now that the infrastructure is in place for security and robustness, Go&Fill should be relatively painless. Hopefully these don't become my "Famous Last Words"! :)

    Cheers!

    Have a look at iAccounts, it includes a FREE backup utility for both MAC and WINDOWS. It's a great app, well designed and integrated with iPhone ergonomics. No limits on the number of fields and custom field types, And the FREE BACKUP APP just rocks! iAccounts is a must have.

    I agree with the previous user. iAccounts just rocks! It's the best deal on the AppStore for password managers. I found the website of iAccounts. Check it out at http://www.venticentostudio.com
