TUAW First Look: 1Password touch 2.0 for iPhone and iPod touch

Agile Web Solutions, developer of the 1Password secure password manager for Mac, has announced the release of 1Password touch 2.0 for iPhone and iPod touch. The app, which is available through Friday, June 5th as a free download, is much improved over the previous versions and includes new functionality as well.

I downloaded and installed 1Password touch 2.0 [App Store] yesterday and was pleased to see that some previous issues have been resolved. The app now launches much faster, and the user interface has been improved for adding logins, passwords, and notes.

One of the biggest improvements is in how 1Password touch handles wallet items. These are things like driver's licenses, bank account numbers, internet account information, or other information that you may need to have at your fingertips, but would like to have secured behind AES-128 encryption on your iPhone. Previously, you couldn't add or edit wallet items on your iPhone; now you can.

WiFi Sync is now available as well (replacing the previous sync functionality, which was branded differently). You need to be running 1Password for Mac version 2.9.16 or later, as well as 1Password touch 2.0 or later. The sync is very fast, and it makes moving password and wallet information between your Mac and iPhone a piece of cake.

If you don't currently have a secure password manager for your iPhone, or if you're not happy with the one currently installed on your device, be sure to download 1Password touch for free during the next few days. Check out the gallery below for some screenshots of the new version.
