What do you do when the site requires that you change your password? Do you use a different secret phrase? And if so how do you keep track of those?

How many devices do you use 1Password on? I tend work on two macs, a windows PC, an Android phone, an iPhone and an iPad. Maybe that's a bit excessive but it's certainly common to have at least a few devices. I keep getting turn

I work in the advertising industry and can say with confidence that for most companies the value of this sort of data is far outweighed by the negative backlash. Look for example at the way retailers initially flirted with in-store trackin

It would be nice if phone manufacturers would simply separate the power and data ports into two. Designers probably cringe at that suggestion because it would interrupt the sleek form factor but isn't it the best possible solution to

I interpreted the repeated use of "direct access" as a response to the media reports yesterday that used that same phrase. My memory could be mistaken but I seem to recall hearing reporters use that phrase over and over. So it w

The iOS 6 requirement was initially because I was using some features in the Facebook SDK. But I dropped those features entirely. I honestly can't remember if there's any code left in the app that requires iOS 6. Thanks for the positive

This is my first iOS app. It's a bit of an experiment in crowd sourcing. Right now there's lots of content in Cantonese and English. If you want to play around with the app I suggest trying one of those languages first. And then switch
