1Password 2.6 updates anti-phishing safeguards
Agile has released a new upgrade for 1Password, bringing the software to v2.6. The program is used to automate the entry of web passwords, and can also fill in other forms such as those for credit cards and bank accounts. To protect against the inherent danger of this, the app includes anti-phishing protection. New to v2.6 is an expanded anti-phishing safeguard, in the form of an online service by PhishTank. This service is, however, purely optional.
The update also simplifies the process of changing passwords, by detecting when such pages appear on a website, and prompting users to update 1Password at the same time. Browser support has expanded with support for the Firefox 3 beta, as well as nightly builds of Camino, and the "site-specific" browser Fluid. 1Password requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and costs $35.
