Anybody gone from 3 to 4 with 1 Password? I mean it looks fine, but does it warrant the price?

Thanks

I'd say yes its a worthwhile upgrade. The reviews are all good too.
We took advantage of the limited time cheap upgrade for the family pack. However, its only actually running on our MacBook Air (and not an iMac and Mac Pro) as that's the only computer we currently have that can run OSX 10.8.x. The others have old firmware that won't support 64 bit. So 1Password 4 gets limited use and testing as its not one of our normal day-to-day computers. In case you didn't spot it, the new version only runs on OSX Mountain Lion and later - but it synchronises with the older version running on our other computers (via DropBox).

Thanks Graham - but any 'best bits' on what makes it worthwhile in your opinion?

I'd rate the 'mini' feature for the menu bar and the ability to share vaults as big improvements.
I've also played with the audit, highlighting old and weak passwords.

Thanks, that's helpful.

Our of interest, how often do I have to login for the 'mini' feature? Or is it linked to the main login window after wake from sleep? It's just, if the laptop is swiped.....

?

Thanks

It works the same way as the main 1Password application. requires a password to unlock it and you can set up all the timings for this as on previous versions.
