More on Snow Leopard

So, I continue to test and play with Snow Leopard. I found something else that didn't' work. I use 1Password as a password vaulting system. For those who don't know what that is, let me explain. We all have tons of passwords. So either we're not good at creating clever passwords or we write them down or we use the same one over and over and never change it. None of these are good plans. 1Password is a password vault where you can store in a secure fashion all of your user names and passwords. Then you create one hard to guess password to protect the vault. When you are on a web page that requires authentication you can select the site from the vault, you enter in the master password and the name and password for the site are entered in automatically. I tend to keep the vault open for a while so that I don't have to constantly enter in the master password. This allows me to create hard passwords and to change them frequently without having to remember tons of passwords.

Well, apparently the 1Password folks thought that they had a number of weeks to go before SL was released and Apple fooled them. Fortunately they are far along in their beta testing of a new version and if you have SL and are already a customer, you can get access to the Beta so that you can continue to use 1Password with your Mac. So I had to register on their site and agree to the NDA and now I can use the product, at least for a while until the new version is officially released. Then I'll have to buy the upgrade.
