So after much careful thought, deliberation, sleepless nights, and that’s just about who’s on this week’s IMP, I’ve gone through the great comments we’ve had on the 1Password to Rule Them All! review and giveaway and decided that the winners of the amazingly generous giveaway from the folks at Agile Web Solutions are :

Congratulations guys, I’ll be in touch very soon with your sparkly new license keys. If you didn’t win a copy of 1Password I’d encourage you to go out and buy the app if you can, it’s saved my proverbial bacon on many occasion.

In this post not only am I going to tell you all about this amazing application, I’m giving you a chance to win 1 of 2 copies, kindly donated by the amazing folks over at Agile Web Solutions.

So, you have about a dozen email accounts, a list of forums longer than your arm, your online banking, all those must have members only sites and just about every other website under the sun that in some way wants you to remember some form of authentication to get through the gates. The simple, and by far the most insecure, way of handling this would be to have a single password to all these sites, even worse it’s a dictionary password or something so obvious even a dog could guess it (yes that’s right Beiju, I do mean you!)

So, the best way to handle all those logins is to have multiple passwords, all über secure and all so hard to remember you’ll have to reset your password on said site every time you visit, well that’s where 1Password from Agile Web Solutions comes in.
