AllSecure is great !

It can help me to encrypt and protect my files at the hard drive .

Thanks

Yeah, I'm not seeing any reason to use AllSecure instead of 1Password except for visual reasons (and that would... um... MAKE YOU SHALLOW!!!)

I guess I just don't have any reason to encrypt any files. Can anyone provide me with an example of a practical file a normal person would encrypt?

me likey allsecure. 1P has got to be one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.

How does it work?

Are most Mac apps written in 'what language'???

Thanks for all your comments.
Till now I was not planing to even launch it, but reading this has confinced me to giv it a better look. I might like what I see after all.

I like 1password, but I don't have a full license (just joined macheist - obviously), so I may try AllSecure.  Though, I would like sync between itouch comp, other comps, and just the Firefox auto-fill.

i stay with 1password

Same here All Secure has banished my need for RapidoSerial

Orange you glad I didn't use a pc?!:P

I'm still in the process of getting used to it. Like many, I love 1Passwd too much to just let go of it's convinience. But, I think I move all my serials and the like to AllSecure, plus anything I do  not need to sync with my iPod touch via 1Passwd

EDIT: AllSecure sure has a nifty user interface. Very well done

As promised in another thread. Here is my review of AllSecure.

http://www.macappreviews.net/2009/02/allsecure-review/

For those who don't want to click through, the final rating is 3/5 stars.

Great discussion! It's always great to see fresh perspectives on how 1Password stacks up against other apps.

The main thread of discussion has been about the look and feel of AllSecure vs. 1Password. I was mentioning in another thread that the UI in the main 1Password application is indeed in serious need of a refresh. The browser integration in 1Password allows it to integrate directly within your workflow without needing to launch the main application, and so it is not used as much as the in-browser features. Because of this, we invested our time into making the browser windows look pretty, and the main application UI lagged.

As 1Password matured and we added more and more features to the main application, it started being used more and more, so the UI became much more important. Thanks to feedback like this thread, we understand that the UI needs to be improved, and thankfully we actually started doing just that.  Dan, our designer (and forum admin here too!), has been working his tail off on making the version 3 release of 1Password look amazing. I think you will be blown away at how delicious Dan's new design is

Cheers!

I'm going to keep with 1Password, simply because not only does it have an iTouch app, it has awesome little buttons in my browser.

Come baaaack come back to Safari

Great review; and quickly done too

www.usheroes.us Pray for Peace. Go Orange!

Loving it. Already have my router settings backup file, about 8 WiFi passwords (for reference later on), my private key, and our login cert at work.

Once they release an update for use with Firefox I'll start using it more.

Happiness is a loaded camera.

It's really great! I created just one item and it looks cool already. Nice UI and functionality. I think I'll use this more often.

take this green power!!! yahhh!

I'll continue to use 1Password, but maybe some day a free update is coming that convinces me to switch. I am surely not willing pay for it, as long it does not deliver something special, worth the money.

I worked with both, 1password and allsecure..

Allsecure, works pretty nice and the interface is also cool

I still like 1Password... and if as Dan says a new UI is coming soon I'll stick with it. Don't fancy copying / moving 100's of serials, passwords and logins across to a new program!

I'll use AllSecure to encrypt files, should the need arise. So far I haven't had that need.

1Password has been working very well with my 500 items stored there. I am in Finance and the ability to keep the program active for a time and login to various accounts, often at the same financial institution, (drop down list of all possible logins for a web address) saves me so much time.

Not to mention the peace of mind it gives me knowing I am not typing anything in the browser window. I'm pretty sure we (Mac community) don't have a problem, yet, of hacks and such capturing keystrokes but I wanted to be ready if and when that day came. I have more than my own identity to protect so it's just the responsible thing to do.

the only reason this beats 1password that i can find is that with 1password it has the button within the browser to autofill your info where as with allsecure the app has to be open and you have to click the arrow next to your info to get it to auto fill this is just not as convenient especially when at least for right now it seems that once i had a lot of passwords it would be hard to tell the difference without actually clicking on each individual one. if anyone knows of a way to auto fill without having to have the app open please inform me!

All Day Every Day!

If 1Password does indeed release the update that was promised (I think in this thread), I think AllSecure will go bye bye.

On February 11,2009 I posted something that I really felt would ring true with how a lot of us are feeling based on a variety of post that seemed to be looking for something similar. The theme that I was hearing was lets work together to make things better for all members instead of trying to make the other teams fail at any cost. Don't misread me, I feel competition is a good healthy thing. However, in this case it didn't feel like things were going in that direction. I'm posting this in each forum to make sure most members see it.

A few days have past since this post and when I sat down at my computer today it was still on my mind. I had a thought that those that feel this way could make a post acknowledging it and ask the Directorate to remove all colors and to return us to one community working together to solve the final "Heists." Who knows maybe this is exactly what the Directorate is looking for.

The following was the post from February 11,2009:

When we first entered this phase of the Heist I don't anyone who had a real clear understanding of what direction it would take us. Initially it seemed that the more comments we made and the more we changed our avatars, the more points we earned. To come up with something that would meet these expectations  I developed a premise that my avatar was missing and other avatars could create dialog regarding attempts to try to find and return my avatar to its rightful place. Yesterday there seemed to be some clarity on what we perceived  needed to be done with the addition of teams based on assigned colors. Tonight when I started reading comments on how to move up the rankings of teams etc... I thought maybe we needed to reconsider the direction we were heading. I felt we needed to forget about what had been done prior to this point and see what I can do to help bring my color's ranking up. However, once I started typing I stopped. My thoughts had gone back to where I started and as I looked back at my screen guess what I saw. Yes, it was my avatar.

The imaginary journey that originally was thought to have no real purpose brought me to what I think is the place the powers that be at MacHeist would like us to find: To bring everyone together to work as one team to win all that MacHeist has to offer.

I have a place where dreams are born,
and time is never planned. It's not on any chart,
you must find it with your heart.
Never Never Land...

That was a long post.

Ha ha, I think the rant is wasted here in this thread...

I have been a fan of 1Password for a while now -- actually I think since it came out.  I do have to say I like the interface of AllSecure a whole lot better, the idea of it remaining a separate app that needs to be open for me to use... I much prefer browser integration.  I will not disparage AllSecure as I have no ability to compose a program from scratch, but I prefer 1Password until AllSecure develops a bit more.

There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who read binary; and those who don't.

Use them both.

1password for my logins and all secure to store all my Serial numbers and keyfiles. Works fine.

Dirty Bastard

The registration info I had didn't work and now I don't have it because I'm an idiot.  Any way to retrieve it?

Update - I retrieved the info, but the OK button is ghosted when I enter the serial.

Nice review. I found the review and the comparisons to be very accurate based on my experience.

AllSecure is nice, very nice graphics and layout! But... 1Password does have more templates for things you need secured (passport, drivers license, etc.) and it ties in with Safari and iPhone. I have to say, 1Password has the advantage.

Oh yeah. Be jealous of the dinosaur! GO ORANGE!

All Secure is just version 1, while 1Password is nearing version 3. At least All Secure looks like a more ambitioned project than Bitclamp or Exces.

I gave All Secure a try today. While it works well it didn't meet the needs I had at the moment which was to create an encrypted disc. I found it interesting that it copied the folder I wanted encrypted to its vault and that the source folder was untouched and unencrypted. So you have to remember to delete the source. It seemed a lot of bother even though the interface works simply. It's nice to know I have it available and may use it at times for small things.

What I ended up do is turning on encyrption in Toast's Data window and burned the encrypted disc which took about one minute longer than burning the same disc without encryption. So that is the tool I needed for this specific job.

The avatar is my grandson Dylan who I can never keep up with.

Have you tried Truecrypt for whole disk encryption?

GREAT ADD TO THE HEIST!!!!!

i was lookign for such a tool

so many stuff to keep in mind

I'm Winston Wolfe. I solve problems.
Good, we got one.

No, didn't know about it. Thanks for the tip.

I have version 11 of Stuffit Deluxe and it has encryption capability when making archives. But I don't need these to be archives or compressed which takes a lot of time to make readable again.

Nice little app. If nothing else, it looks nice and is kind of fun to play around with.

Going to give it a try and see if it's a better one stop shop for the things it provides, currently using several apps to do what it does...1Password and Exces etc. (which i love thanks macheist)

Say wahhh?

i have to say-this app has great promise but without the ability to import anything period this app is essentially worthless to me

Me too. I tried AllSecure and it's interface is very nice and all, but it would be way too much trouble to migrate all the info I already have on my mac in this app's database. If I'd start from fresh, i might feel otherwise. Right now, without the ability to import, it's not worth the effort.

Not orange, not gold, AMBER!!!

As all of you, I love my 1Password, it's syncing (through Dropbox and external app), it's several browsers integration, it's iPod/iPhone app, it's easy to manage keychain format and ability to keep my software licenses. Does anyone here know if AllSecure provides this, because I read somewhere they have an iPod/iPhone app in the works, and, if I were able to import my passwords and licenses, I would switch immediately!

Blue Moof!

Thanks for your review.  I searched all the threads for a comparison between 1Password and AllSecure, but did not find any.  Just before posting a new topic asking the question, I clicked on your review and answered all my questions.  Thanks!

No problem. I'm just glad that my reviews are useful to people.

Spotted an update to version 1.1.1 today so tried it and it asked for my registration details again.  No problem I have them I think...

I prefer to download the new version and keep a copy of that rather than update online, but I always keep a copy of the original download version.

Invalid code.  OK so I reinstall the version I downloaded from my Loot.. Invalid code!  I'm locked out of AllSecure and have a 5 minute time-out after after 3rd try to re-register.

I re-apply for my licence and the result is precisely the same as the licence I already have.

Anyone else having trouble?

I'm currently hugely relieved that all my sensitive data is still in Wallet & 1 Password respectively and if my trial data in AllSecure is lost simply for trying to upgrade I'll never be able to trust it in the future.

Mark.

6th February 2009 MacHesit III Begins...  MacHeist IV?   15th September 2012! IT's HERE!!!

For me, everything is fine with the update.

OK, well since I had no sensitive data in there, fortunate considering the nature of this application, I used AppCleaner to completely remove it.

I subsequently installed the new updated version that went without a hitch.  I have of course lost all the data held in there.

If you are using an earlier version and update by installing the newer DMG over the top it would appear you have to re-enter you licence, however there is no facilty to re-enter you user name.

Re-installing the original version does not help unfortunately.

If you are expecting people to trust you with data that is sufficiently sensitive that they would protect in this way then arriving at a position where they cannot access their data at all really isn't good enough.

I think I'm going to stick to 1 Password and Wallet for a little while longer, but I will drop edgerift a line to let then know my experiences.  It should be an easy fix for them.

Back up and running on v1.1.1 but with no data.

Mark.

In a nutshell, would I be correct in saying 1Password is best for Internet security and Allsecure is best for hiding your porn from your girlfriend? :-()

Heaven and hell?  Better to be wrong choosing right than right choosing wrong.

I just want to say that this has been an amazingly useful app. At first I was really unsure about it, especially after I locked myself out of it, but with a weeks use, I am so glad to not have to worry about forgetting passwords or such anymore.

So, you guys are amazing. Thanks!

Edit: I also updated with no problems.

Should probably get back to work.

Odd - I updated to 1.1.1 with no problem. I've done all of the updates since this was placed in the loot and upgraded with no issue. I'd contact the developer.
