No windows compatibility needed. I do want the Password manager to store the data into a local database/file not in the cloud. I am running El Capitan. I have looked at 1Password and it is really great but comes with a hefty price tag. So I am interested in what you Mac guys are using. Looking forward to your replies. Regards, TA |

rjackal Premium Member join:2002-07-09 Plymouth, MI 2 recommendations | 2015-Oct-5 1:03 pm I use 1Password on my Mac and iOS devices, synced with Dropbox. Good software that you're trusting your security to is worth the price. |
Thinkdiff MVM,<> join:2001-08-07 Bronx, NY | 2015-Oct-5 1:06 pm 1Password is worth it, imo. Have been using it for 3 years now via Dropbox. But I now also use iCloud Keychain along side of it - the integration into iOS and Safari on OS X makes it easier to use. If there was a dedicated app to look up passwords on the iPhone, I might ditch 1Password (although I like having it as a backup). You can look up passwords on iOS via the Safari section of Settings, but it's kind of a pain. |

Both the hubby and I use this, with the master password available to other in case 'something happens'.. (and I use it for more than online passwords too) |

scots Are we there yet?? Premium Member join:1999-12-06 Raleigh, NC 1 recommendation | 2015-Oct-5 4:08 pm The reason I don't trust 1Password anymore happened before the LastPass hack - plus the LastPass hack had no effect on me. Even if someone were to gain my LastPass master password they still wouldn't be able to access it because I use two-factor authentication. Someone would have to have both my master password and my YubiKey device. I have my credit union online access setup to send me a text if someone enters an incorrect password in an attempt to log in to my account. An incorrect password entered even one time sends me a text. On top of that, if they do have my correct password the credit union sends me a text with a one-time passcode that has to be entered before a full login takes place and my accounts can be accessed. I started receiving one-time passcode texts one day when I had made no attempt to log in to my account - which meant that someone had my password. I changed my password and started receiving texts saying an incorrect password had been attempted - which eventually stopped. Everything was hunky-dory until several days later when I updated 1Password with my new credit union password - and then I started getting one-time passcode texts again, which meant someone had my password again. I again changed my credit union password and never updated it in 1Password, and have never had any successful login attempts again - so I'm assuming 1Password was the culprit since I quit updating my credit union password in there and no more problems. There are only two computers I log in to my credit union web site from - my personal laptop (a Mac) and my work laptop (Windows). I had logged in many times from both after changing my credit union password the first time, and it wasn't until I updated 1Password with my new credit union password that the 'rogue' logins started up again. I work in IT security and am very careful about what sites I go to, what emails and files I open, etc - and neither of my machines have ever had any type of virus, malware, or anything like that on them that could have captured my password - and nobody has access to either machine but me. |

adam9c1 join:2014-05-01 USA | 2015-Oct-6 12:23 am I have been using this for several years now and love it. Be sure to purchase the OS version of the app OUTSIDE of the App store as that version lets you sync via dropbox. App has been bulletproof across iOS, OS X, and Win. |
