Most obvious password – blank, so many users I support can't think of one and just press enter!
Most obscure – $±§!__+=?/(*)(*)?=+__!§±$ try remembering that one off the top of your head!
I would like to win a copy because I am so poor, I had to sell my brain for charity (therefore can't remember passwords) just to feed the 400 kids I look after and support my 7 wives, 40 servants and a huge amount of houses and gardens. So you can see I am a very needy person and you will take pity on me and think – yes I wanna help that great guy!

In my opinion the forename and the surname of a person is a really bad password. I would like to receive a copy of 1Password, because I need a license for my second Mac

I think that a stupid password would be "password".

I learned of this app from dalison, will probably give it a try and perhaps write it up for our MUG (Wash Apple Pi). Password discussion reminds me a while back – a big office rollout of new OS/machines accompanied by training in how important to have separate pws for machine log-in, network log-in, database log-in, etc., etc. After a couple of weeks fielding too many calls by people forgetting their multiple pws, the word came down, 'OK, use 1 pw for all of these but PLEASE change it periodically…

Meanwhile, I vote for first Gary to get a free copy.

I think I should use 1Password. 1Password is really usful to keep you secrity high. I think I should use it because I use the same password for post things.

1Password should be on every mac. It is that important and I think apple should build it in OSX. Then again, maybe not.
Obscure passwords of mine
login
password
qwerty

1Password should be installed on every Mac sold. It's that good and that necessary.

The worst passwords are password and 12345. With 1Password you can use something like: jD-k3=5,d):;q

1Password is an amazing app that is indispensable. Looking at it, I love how it can create long obscure STRONG passwords for you, and then remember them all. It makes me feel more secure knowing that someone's not going to guess my password. Ever. *I* can't even guess my password. Scary…

The best passwords are those that take parts of words of phrases. Those help me remember. The worst/obvious ones are – password, admin, *username*, and the infamous *username123*. If they'd at LEAST throw in a capitalization!! *UserName123*…please, make it a little difficult! LOL

I currently work as ICT Technician within a high school in Norfolk, UK. 1Password has been an application that I have considered buying in the past but have never realised the potential of the app. As fairly recent switcher of about 3 years ago I have been trying to first get used to the wonders of OSX Leopard’s built in apps and utilities. The built in Key Chain in Leopard just amazed me, coming from windows where there is just nothing that comes close to being the windows version of Key Chain.

I have listened to Merlin Mann and Adam Christianson on Mac related podcasts talk highly about 1Password. At the time I did not think that it was that much better than the built in Key Chain. After using Key Chain for a few years I have started realise it’s limitations. The limitations are:
- That it does not help generate unique secure non dictionary passwords.
- Does not have cross browser support (only works in Safari).
- Form auto fill is a bit flaky (fails to fill forms and add passwords on some financial sites etc).
- No app on the iPhone / iPod touch to sync passwords etc onto the device.

1Password has none of the above limitations as it has all those features included and more in the app. I have heard of people say that 1Password is Key Chain on steroids and I have to say they are totally right. This app has so many features that I could use that if I went through them all, this comment would turn into a blog post of it’s own.

I really need this app because working in IT there are hundreds of usernames, passwords and forms to remember and fill in. Although I have a great memory it is nearly impossible at times to remember all of these passwords and details. Because of this I have left myself less secure than I would like to be by using the same password on multiple sites. 1Password would enable me to have very secure unique passwords and leave me to concentrate on the job that I am doing instead of a list of passwords. The peace of mind it would give just knowing that I only need to know 1Password.

Working in IT you come across loads of dumb passwords to use. The most obvious password used by users regularly is there own name. What’s even more worrying is the amount of people I see with a sticky note on their computer with their username and password on it. Also the same on a bit of paper kept inside a closed notebook. What are these people thinking? (nothing I suppose).

I think I should be eligible for a copy of 1Password because it actually won't be for me! I'm trying to win it for my friend who just picked up his FIRST Mac!

He got an aluminum MacBook and I'm heading to his birthday party tonight. I have a small present but would love to follow up later that I have a FREE copy of 1Password for him to use! That would make my day and make his new Mac experience even better.

As for obscure passwords here's my list of the top 3:

1. 12345
2. password
3. (insert your first/last name)

Thanks for the contest!

1Password is a god send. OpenID is a great solution as well but many websites do not use it, so 1Password allows me to suitably randomize my passwords and stay secure easily.

1Password has been a godsend for managing all the various sites and forums I belong too. OpenID is a wonderful solution, but not everyone implements it on their sites, so 1Password is the next line of defense in keeping my passwords suitably random and secure.

I’ve 10′s of dozens of emails and social networks longer than my arms. So… I think I deserve the copy.
