Toronto (Ontario, Canada) – Agile Web Solutions announces the immediate availability of 1Password 3, its award-winning password and identity manager for the Mac. Over one year in the making, 1Password 3 is the most significant upgrade in company history, incorporating years of customer feedback and new innovation from Agile’s unique, comprehensive approach to making its users’ lives more secure and convenient.

1Password 3 adds over 50 fantastic new features and enhancements, as well as some good ol’ fashioned elbow grease. 1PasswordAnywhere – the most-requested 1Password feature of all time – has arrived, enabling users to view their 1Password information on any computer with a modern browser. Users can also now organize their software licenses in a new, dedicated 1Password Vault category, customize exactly what information syncs to 1Password touch on an iPhone or iPod touch, attach and encrypt virtually any file in 1Password, use Smart Search to filter for just the right results, use tags throughout 1Password for new organizational power, edit 1Password items directly from its browser extensions, and more.

These new features and enhancements were fused with a gorgeous new interface and full 64-bit support for Snow Leopard, while 1Password got even better at encrypting and protecting the information that nearly one million users entrust to it every day. Agile Web Solutions toiled away on 1Password 3 for over a year, then tested it with a large, private team for months. Now, all Mac users may experience the many ways in which 1Password 3 can make their lives more secure and convenient.

1Password 3 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard. It is a paid upgrade, though users who purchased 1Password 2 on or after February 1, 2009 get free license upgrades to version 3 (that’s nine months of free upgrades!). All other owners of 1Password versions 1 or 2 can take advantage of a limited-time, Early Bird Upgrade Discount. Through the end of November, save 50% off the purchase of a single license upgrade at $19.95 USD, or save 57% off a Family Pack upgrade of five licenses for just $29.95. Full licenses cost $39.95 for single users, and $69.95 for Family Packs.

Agile Web Solutions is dedicated to making Mac OS X even better by creating innovative applications like 1Password, the premier Password Manager for Mac and iPhone, and AllBookmarks, a bookmark manager that collects all browser bookmarks in one place. 1Password is ‘Highly Recommended’ by Macworld, an Apple Staff Pick, and is a Mac|Life Editors’ Pick. All products have free, 30-day trials available from Agile Web Solutions’ site.

HMAUS will help you bring your inner geek forward at next Tuesday’s Mashup. HMAUS member Gregg Kamei will be our host for the event at the Ko’olani along the Ala Moana Blvd.

Our featured speakers will include:

Jill Morton — Building Colorful Bridges in Pakistan
Jill will share the highlights of her six week workshop in Pakistan — the challenges and rewards of travel in a foreign country with an old, but trusty, Macintosh.

Gregg Kamei — Increasing User Efficiency with Quicksilver
Quicksilver allows users to use the keyboard to rapidly launch applications, manipulate files and data, run scripts, or send e-mail. It is similar to the Mac OS X applications LaunchBar and Butler, but with a different interaction paradigm.

Developed in Hawaii, MenuMill is an easy to use content management system that allows you to create, manage and publish a website. It lets you organize your menus, special events and galleries, customize the look of your website and integrate with other restaurant technologies like Open Table — all with simple management tools.

Voila is an image capturing, annotating and sharing tool, aimed to bridge limited availability of a complete image capturing solution on the Mac platform.

Are you new to Macintosh?

You knew Windows and you knew it well. But you’ve since added a Macintosh to your life and feeling a little unsure about this new relationship. The Mac 101 workshop at the Mac Springfest will help you achieve better harmony in your digital home.

Mac 101 is a class for newbies, switchers and for people who just haven’t had time to really get to know their Mac. We will look around the desktop, explore at the Dock, get an understanding of the System Preferences, learn some shortcuts and, most importantly, try to answer your questions. This is a good class for people who have switched to Macintosh or are planning to switch to Macintosh and want to understand their machine a little better. This session is very low key and relaxed.

More information about Mac Springfest here.

It’s tomorrow!
