We got the word from Agile Web Solutions, makers of 1Password, that Safari 3.1 has caused the their password manager to stop functioning. Not to worry though, the developer is releasing 1Password version 2.5.12 to fix this issue, as well as improved support for iPhone/iPod touch and Palm applications. This update is free to all 1Password customers.

Let me take this opportunity to encourage all of you who do not have and use 1Password to store and manage your online passwords, to go download it and start using it. In addition to having an automatic form filler with support for credit cards and multiple identities that works in all the more popular Mac web browsers, it also has a secure password generator for those times when you are asked, yet again, to submit a new username and password for some killer web app. Once it submits that generated password, it automatically remembers it so you don't have to!

It's awesome.

1Password may be downloaded as a fully functional 30-day trial version, along with a free version limited to 20 items. A single-user license costs USD$29.95 and a family license is available for USD$39.95.
