A cute, little video from Jonathan Mann about how to choose a master password for 1Password on [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1password-password-manager/id568903335?mt=8) or [Mac](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1password-password-manager/id443987910?mt=12).[^aff] Of course, I still prefer [another one of Jonathan’s songs to this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfbHiMX_arw).

> In 1Password 4 there is a brilliant new section called Security Audit. In the sidebar it shows you tabs for finding weak passwords, duplicate passwords, and old passwords.
> Clicking on the Duplicate Passwords tab gives you a list with every single login item that has a duplicate password. If you have any items here then you can begin working your way through each account, by logging in to the site and changing your password with a new unique one and saving that into 1Password.
Woah. I was in the beta and I never even noticed this. I am going to have to do this as a weekend project.
[iPassword 4](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252F1password%252Fid568903335%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f3833] is now available in the iOS App Store. As you might expect, there has already been a ton of writing about it:
* [AgileBit’s Announcement Post](http://blog.agilebits.com/2012/12/13/new-1password-4-ios/)
* [MacStores’ Review](http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/macstories/ad-supported/~3/gjofOc58qSo/)
* [9to5 Mac’s Review](http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/9To5Mac-MacAllDay/~3/i1ocv0Nc2kk/)
* [The Verge’s Hands On](http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/12/3759816/1password-4-launches-for-ios)
So far, I like what I see.

It now includes a feature I have wanted since I first got my iPad: a “Passwords” view on iPad for all password generated on Mac or iPhone. [Available in the App Store](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252F1password-pro%252Fid319898689%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f2537].

> The bottom line is that I am strongly recommending that 1Password users not be early adopters of this.
Some good points that I did not consider before I enabled 2-factor authentication for [Dropbox](http://db.tt/bl7yQBc)[^aff]. I hope I do not regret my decision.

Gabe over at [MacDrifter](http://www.macdrifter.com/) got me nervous this morning when [he posted](http://www.macdrifter.com/2012/07/1password-on-the-mac-app-store/) that 1Password was pulled from the Mac App Store due to a sandboxing problem. Thankfully, *AgileBits’s* founder [Roustem Karimov](http://twitter.com/roustem) cleared things up on Twitter:
> [We] just need more time to rework Dropbox access.
and
> Sandbox now provides everything we need. We just had some old code related to Dropbox folder access, it must be changed.
Phew. Crisis averted.
