Some have mentioned that it's overkill.
Not for me at ALL. Myriad logins, credit cards, saved forms, etc are all handled effortlessly by 1Password.
How cool is it that I can finally go to my Gmail page and hit Cmd-\ , get a dropdown menu to choose *which* gmail account I want to log in with, and with an arrow-down and return key I'm logged in.
1Password will optionally submit your form for you as well, or just fill in the form and leave it waiting for you to proceed.
The ability to set up various profiles and fill in various forms using them is a HUGE timesaver. In profile one you could have your name and info, in profile 2 your wife's name and info, in profile 3 your alter ego and a separate email address, etc.
Securely store your credit cards, including bits like the issuing bank and the verification pin for those sites that need it.
1Password absolutely rocks. Add to that the ability to sync it and have your data travel with you wherever you go, it's AMAZING.

Great overview of how 1Password was designed to be used, dashard. Are you in PR? <laughing> Seriously, I use it just as you do.And as far as "Some have mentioned that it's overkill," I've only seen one post in recent times claiming that. IMO, the user either wasn't able to figure out what 1Password is all about (thus, didn't appreciate what an incredible time saver it is) or makes such limited use of e-commerce and/or password protected web sites that 1Password isn't really needed. But for those who place value on their time (or just want strong passwords but would like to avoid aggravation of trying to remember them and typing them in at every site visit), this app is indeed "the real deal."
