New 1Password Release Adds PhishTank Integration, Other Improvements

Press Release - Note: this version is not a free upgrade from the Macworld version, so keep that in mind before updating!

Agile Web Solutions today announced the release of 1Password 2.6, containing a wealth of improvements and new features. The most notable improvements include an enhancement to the existing Anti-Phishing feature of 1Password, automatic detection of changed online passwords, and improved browser support. This update is free to all paid 1Password customers.

What is 1Password?

  • The most widely used password manager for Mac OS X (according to MacUpdate, VersionTracker and iusethis ratings).
  • A Macworld magazine "Mac Gem", rated 4.5/5 mice and nominated for a Macworld Readers' Choice Award.
  • The only password manager with integrated anti-phishing technology.
  • An automatic form filler with support for credit cards and multiple identities.

What is new in Version 2.6?

  • Integration with PhishTank Anti-Phishing Service:
