In my discussion of Dropbox’s new two-step authentication, I skimped on the cryptography. Because we had to move quickly, I wanted to focus at the time just on our recommendations, so I told a few fibs about how the way the six digit codes “get” to your phone. Now I want to explain how it [...]
Have you been asked to reset your password when you try to log into Dropbox.com? You aren’t alone, and this is all as expected. If you haven’t changed your Dropbox password in a while, you (like me) will be asked to change when you log into the website. Back in July, Dropbox announced that they [...]
Dropbox has just released a new, optional, two-step authentication process. 1Password 3 (Mac and iOS) and 1Password for Windows use Dropbox for synchronizing your 1Password data across systems and platforms. So anything that has to do with Dropbox security is of interest to us and to 1Password users. The bottom line is that I recommend [...]
Mat Honan, a 1Password user and writer for Wired, did everything right. He had strong, unique passwords everywhere.

Last month we released huge updates for Snow Leopard and Lion Mac users and Windows users, and now we have something special in store for those of you who are on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. 1Password 3.5.12 is available now specifically for Leopard users, and [...]
When in the course of network events rumors start flying about Dropbox a decent respect for the concerns of 1Password users compels me to blog about it. 1Password users certainly enjoy the convenience of syncing their data across Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android and Windows 7 Phone. This is managed using Dropbox, and [...]
Plus ça change, plus c’est même chose — Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr Summary: Dropbox remains safe for 1Password use despite some high profile discussion of its security. Keeping up with news about security issues can make your head spin. It certainly does that to me. Most often important news gets little public attention, and at other [...]
