For the uninitiated, 1Password is a brilliant password creating and saving tool. You create a single, bulletproof password for the app, and then you can store sensitive notes, information about your credit cards, software registration codes and website login information. If you buy the app for your computer, you can then have 1-click access to things like your bank, Amazon, or anything that requires a password. It will also give you 1 click access to billing info, so if you have a long form to fill out to order something, it can fill it all in for you (including credit card numbers and 3 digit verification numbers). It's a fireproof way of having unique passwords for every site you visit, as well as having important info on you at all times in a secure manner.

I second this emotion. If you saw the cover story on Wired it talks about how easy it is to crack passwords. Quite scary. The Agilebits, maker of 1Password, blog has a lot of good security related posts. In particular the one about making a secure password is very informative for us liberal arts types. the 5 dice random word method is cool. He also references the xkcd comic about entropy(which I still don't understand) in a funny way. Quick quiz, who remembers the password from that comic?
If you do you are probably convinced about his password formula.
