I am frugal (or possibly cheap) and so have been using MSecure password manager (which is inexpensive and works pretty well). I had read the glowing comments on 1Password but couldn't get past the price until the other day.
I left my iPad at work (or at least I hoped I had). Was debating driving back to look for it when the wife suggested I use the Find My Phone feature (what a great idea says I!).
Unfortunately I could not remember my password to MobileMe. My wife asked me, "Isn't in MSecure?". She was correct, I had definitely entered it, on my iPad and then neglected to sync it to my MBP. So, if I only had my iPad I could have looked up my password so I could log into MobileMe and find my iPad which I needed so I could look up my password and . . . Well you get the picture!
I drove back to work and found my iPad waiting on my desk. When I got back home I immediately downloaded a trial version of 1Password, played with it enough tom convince myself it was worth trying and bought the iPad/iPhone APP. It syncs easily over my wifi so I no longer have an excuse for not keeping all of my passwords synched and backed up.
