Best FTP Client the Mac has to offer. Fast, reliable and not bad looking. Give it a try and you won't go back.

Great app.

But what's with the new icon?! Displaying a fake mouse pointer as part of an app's icon is such a bad idea.

I agree with mfichtner.

This app could need of a few extra bucks spent, hiring a designer so as to gain a higher visual overall level (including icon). I'm not saying it because I have a desire to sound negative, but this has been on my mind regarding this app, for a good while now. And because it's one of the most mysteriously unrecognized apps I can think of today, I find myself unable not letting it out.

A major reason behind the exorbitant hypeness of Transmit, as well as the large amount of people overlooking Yummy FTP, is due to the fact that the creators of Transmit devote great care to the necessity of visual delightfulness; an aspect that you simply cannot dodge in the competition between cutting edge Mac soft today. That's it. Icon is king. Along with a number of other details, of course. But the icon... Personally I'd argue that it's the single most important thing.

In comparison, Yummy FTP is a lot more trustworthy, a lot faster and simply has a lot more "roar" under the hood, than Transmit. Still, it lacks the looks of a real champion app. So, let's hear it for a substantial makeover.

January 8th 2008: Transmit, 3708 - Yummy FTP, 320.

I'll put everything I got, including two horrible cats and a lousy career on the bet that Yummy will be closing in by the end of the year, 31st of December 2008.

Awesome app, with some of the nicest guys in the industry to back it. I can say nothing but glowing things about 1Passwd. Saves me time, and keeps me way more secure. Worth the price and even better if you got it on MacSanta. Get it before the new year, if you have a palm, and you get a key for 1Passwd for Palm free.

I'm really not enjoying the 2.3 release. Sure, the main app interface looks nicer, but I'm noticing a huge hit on performance. There's a long delay retrieving the list of saved forms if 1Passwd hasn't been unlocked in a while. The new browser icon isn't indicative of the locked/unlocked status anymore and it looks screwed up in OmniWeb, too. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

@frostasis

Please try version 2.3.5 and let the developers know if it works better for you. You can email to 1passwd@agilewebsolutions.com or post a message on the forum:

Thank you!

Best money I have ever spent on an app in 25 years. Programming is excellent; easy to use; intuitive; does what it says. I've had my great worries about security lifted off of my shoulders as I enjoy an app carefully integrated into the Apple Keychain. Software solutions should be measured on the actual impact they make on one's ease of use. 1passwd is a superb app, well-designed and meeting all that it's claims to do. I couldn't happier with a purchase.

I've use 1Passwd for a few months and it's a dream!
Here's a mini-review I wrote a while back:

We all have usernames and passwords that are used for online registrations, contests, and banking. Yet if one were to have a countless array of log/pass info it would be tedious to go into any password database software to look it up then still enter it by copy/paste back at the browser (unless one were to have their browser remember this information, which may be unsafe if there are other users with access to the same browser or computer). After demoing 1Passwd I can say this this is one software that is worth EVERY PENNY the developers ask for...

Utilizing only one master password you set up in the beginning, 1Passwd will remember all your information for logging into various sites, even multiple accounts for a site, but it does one better. It can actually prevent information from being entered into phishing sites (those sites that look and act EXACTLY like your bank or online store, but have a different URL which most users don't notice). If you are registering at a site 1Passwd also can create/save the password for you. It can save and restore online forms, including pull down menus and radio buttons (until a further update, Safari at this time has a bit of a problem working with 1Passwd regarding radio buttons). And because 1Passwd fills in all information for you, this can defeat any keylogging software (which can record your keystrokes) that may be present.

I've used 1Passwd for a long while now and it has helped a lot! I've tested it with a Paypal phishing email I received and 1Passwd actually recognized that the questionable site was NOT the site it knows. This software is best for the most paranoid (and being the neurotic son of a paranoid police officer it's a software he'll be proud to know I'm using!) The best results for defense against the internet evils is to reset Safari, or any browser, and to NOT allow them to remember ANY passwords or any other typed/pasted information. Information is accessed through a convenient added icon in your browser, which will remember the site and show whether there is information to be entered, for which all you have to remember is that one master password you set up in the beginning. If you'd like you can also set 1Passwd to submit the page automatically after the information has been entered. There are many other features and options that would take me pages to write.

If you're looking for a perfectly organized way of keeping track of your internet information and at the same time not having to be careful all the time, just buy 1Passwd. I've used MANY pass/log database softwares and 1Passwd beats them all hands down.

I can't imagine my mac without this great application. It's stable, easy to use and last but not least: it looks great! Also, the multi-browser support is just awesome!
1Passwd is the best password management on the market and Agile Web Solutions customer support is reliable and lightning fast. They quickly responded to my e-mail and were kind and helpful!
Highly recommended!

We live in a world where nearly every website you visit wants you to create a user account and password when you do business with them. This can get out of hand quick and when some time has elapsed between visits, you start trying to figure out what password you used.

Step in 1Passwd, an absolutely wonderful program. It adds a file to each of your web browsers and keeps track of the online forms you fill in along with passwords you use. This is all done in the background and seamless to you.

Later when you revisit the website, the information is literally a click away to fill in forms, passwords, credit card info, etc. 1Passwd can also auto generate a password for you if you so desire when filling in a web form...nice.

Dave, one of the co-creators of the software is extremely helpful and responds to any email you send quickly.

I highly recommend this program and promise that you will not be disappointed.

I'm loving 1Password -- after trying it out for a few hours, I didn't blink at the registration fee. It solved the problem for me that for some reason I periodically seemed to lose all my saved passwords in Firefox. It's also great to have all my passwords available across browsers too -- saves repetitive logging in to sites.

The integration with the browser is surprisingly good too -- it puts a little "1P" button in the browser toolbar, no matter what browser you're using, and they added in 'basic authentication' support into the latest version which means if you get one of those popup dialogues caused by a webserver with .htaccess password protection, 1Passwd can fill the correct username/pass in there too.

I have it setup so that Firefox no longer remembers passwords, and they all come from 1Passwd instead. That's SIGNIFICANTLY more secure than having Firefox fill them in, because they're stored on your hard disk in plain text... incredibly risky if you lost your laptop, for example (that's my constant fear). 1Passwd locks the keychain each time I sleep my machine, so that I just have to enter in a master password once each time I unsleep. (Firefox has similar functionality built in, but then you lose the benefit of having all your passwords available across multiple browsers.)

Now "all" I want is a Windows version that I can use at work, plus secure internet synchronisation of the passwords ;-) Come on 1Passwd guys, pony up! ;-)

Great application. I use it daily and I let it manage all of my passwords. The passwords generator is amazing and lets me create extremely secure passwords (which I don't even have to remember!).

I'm too afraid to use the password generator personally. If the 1Passwd database becomes corrupt, then I won't know any of my own passwords to the hundreds of websites I use!

1Passwd makes daily backups. At least from what I can see.

1Passwd, works great, they also reply back to emails quickly and releases quick updates to keep up with all the browser changes.

1Passwd actually keeps 62 backups - twice a day for the past month (31 days). This doesn't take up much space, but is certainly helpful for those concerned wtih losing your passwords. Just backup these backups to an external drive or server for complete protection (of course this can be done automatically using Automator).

Great browser integration... I fell in love with it in about 30 minutes. It's helping me to keep track of all my pesky SNS login information.

This is possibly the single most useful program on my mac. Hands down. As stated by others, the service from the developer is phenomenal as well. Highly recommended.
