"AgileBits\u2019\u00A01Password\u00A0is a handy cross-platform utility that automatically generates and keeps track of your passwords across all the websites you have accounts on. It also securely stores and allows for easy retrieval of your credit card information when shopping online and provides a place for you to store software licenses, personal information and other miscellaneous odds and ends. It was one of our \u201Cfive powerful apps that every Mac user should have\u201D.\r\n\r\nWith the\u00A0addition of support for extensions\u00A0to Safari last year, AgileBits decided to move their plugin-based Safari integration to the officially supported extensions architecture. However, the new 1Password extension for Safari, even though it had some features that the older plugin did not, wasn\u2019t nearly as powerful as its predecessor.\r\n\r\nThat has changed with the version 3.8.6 update to the 1Password extension, which brings with it a whole host of features, some of which harken back to the old plugin and others that are brand new.\r\n\r\nThe extension window has been redesigned to combine the \u201CLogins for This Site\u201D and \u201CAll Logins\u201D lists under a single tab, all of which can be navigated through by typing the name of the login you want (as before). You can now click on the \u201CFill and Submit Login\u201D header to toggle between auto-submission of logins and simply filling them in\u2014which is a great addition.\r\n\r\nPerhaps most significantly, the autosave bar is no longer an iFrame that partially covers the top of the webpage. It now appears as a toolbar, which feels much more Mac-like and looks better. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll have to contend with the iFrame if you are using Safari in fullscreen mode. Another major addition is that the extension now allows you to overwrite (in Firefox and Safari, with Chrome support to come soon) an existing login with the new one you\u2019ve saving.\r\n\r\nThere are several other large and small changes, both to the usability and aesthetics of the extension, and you can read them in full on the change log. Our only complaint is that the extension still does not display the cursor when you are editing one of your logins.\r\n\r\nIf you have the \u201CInstall Updates Automatically\u201D preference enabled in Safari\u2019s Extensions pane, the extension should already have been updated by now. If not, you can update it manually\u00A0from the AgileBits website.\r\n\r\n[Image courtesy of\u00A0Tatiana Popova\u00A0/ Shutterstock.com.]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
