There’s a lot to talk about in terms of this “sandbox” thing that Apple’s pushing, but I want to skip to the important part for you, [...]
Boy, it sure is easy to log into sites from 1Password or the 1Password browser extension; after all, that’s kind of the point. But what if you want that easy access from other apps, or a way to organize Logins related to a certain project with all the other stuff for that project? We’ve got [...]

(UPDATE: This is no longer a prerelease feature, you can use it right now!) If you’re like many enterprising Mac users, you probably use a utility like Alfred, a great productivity booster shot that lets you open apps, move files, search specific websites, control iTunes, and much more with just a few keyboard strokes.
