Remembering computer passwords has hardly been a multi-thousand year problem. Nor is 1Password the first password management software, and all things considered, perhaps not even the one most in use. It's about the most elegant one out there, however, and if you don't use Linux, then there's NO reason to shop elsewhere. It solves the problem better than keychain by: 1) Easily managing MULTIPLE accounts per website. If I logon to MobileMe, it auto fills. If I logon to a Google site, it gives me a list of all my saved credentials, and then autofills after I choose one. 2) It has an excellent Password generator. 3) It encrypts it's database (so does Keychain, but it's worth mentioning)
