Well, we have reached the last week of our 12 Days of Giveaways. It’s been an exciting 7 days of some of the best productivity apps, services, and products that help you get things done, and today we are going to offer you one of the the best apps to keep your passwords and information secure from AgileBits.
But, before we do that we want to announce the winners of the David Allen Company’s three GTD Notetaker Wallets. Here are the three winning comments. The first is from Carl T. Holscher:
“The iPhone can be great for many things but I’ve never liked it for quick note taking. I love the feel of paper and the smooth ink as it glides across the page.
My wallet is 10 years old and falling apart and this will fill both voids, proper note-taking on the go and a lovely wallet I can be proud to own (and my wife will stop making fun of!)”
The next is quick and to the point from our friend Ammon:
“The addition of a ubiquitous capture tool would mean that 2012 will finally be the year I stop procrastinating and start “Getting Things Done”!”
And then this comment from our Facebook fan, Tim Stueve:
“I’ve been using my smartphone to capture things, but it would be more convenient to use the wallet/notepad, which I’ve been eying for some time. Goodbye battery failure/uncertainty, hello old reliable pen/paper!”
Hopefully your new notetaker wallets will help all of you capture things anywhere you are in 2012. Congratulations!
Today’s giveaway
Try to guess that password!
AgileBits, the creator of the much loved password manager, 1Password and Knox, a leading solution for securing data, is today’s partner for the 12 Days of Giveaways. I have been using 1Password ever since I got my first Mac and like many of the other tools that we have given away, 1Password is an app that I can’t live without.
Most web users have more than one online account, whether it be for email, banking, social networks, forums, etc. But, the reality is that most people keep the same password for all their logons. This is a bad idea (hopefully as a savvy Lifehack.org reader we don’t need to tell you why!), but keeping a bunch of unique, secure passwords can be sort of a pain, especially when you have many online accounts.
Enter 1Password. 1Password is a secure password manager that allows you to create and store unique passwords that are protected by one master password. 1Password also integrates with your browser to allow for one click sign-on to any website that requires authentication. Another cool feature is that you can store credit card and bank account information securely. Also, if you have 1Password for your iOS device you can securely sync your password file with Dropbox.
Today, AgileBits is offering 100% off a single order up to $50 from their online store for one lucky Lifehack.org reader. That means you can pick yourself up a copy of 1Password (for Mac or Windows), or you can even pick up Knox if you are so inclined.
How to Enter
In order to enter to the giveaway, you need to leave a comment below or on our Facebook fan page that answers the following:
“What are the first 3 online accounts you would secure with 1Password and why?”
Leaving a comment on both our Facebook fan page and here at Lifehack.org will get you 2 entries, so but you need to give us two items that you like the most – no copying and pasting!
The Fine Print
Employees of AgileBits and of Stepcase (including current independent contractors of both) are not eligible for this contest. The winning entry will be judged by the Stepcase Lifehack editing team and the winner will be notified on the platform in which their winning entry was placed (either on the Lifehack.org Facebook wall or by email through our commenting system here on the website). For those entering the contest with a comment on our site, in order to be considered eligible, you MUST leave a contact email when leaving a comment (it’s the only way we’ll know how to contact you). Entries must be submitted by 10 am Eastern the following weekday and winners will be chosen by 12 pm Eastern time on the same day. The winners will be announced the same day on Lifehack.org, and will be notified beforehand.
Good luck!
The first account I would secure is my Google account. I use that login more than any other account I have. Next I would use it for my online banking account and my Amazon account. These 3 sites are almost always open on my web browser !!!!
I would use it for the following 3 passwords: my bank account, school email, and school online learning portal. These would come first because they have complex passwords, and they all require passwords each time, rather than staying signed in.
1. Google account: for gmail, calendar, gtalk, google plus in addition to others like RTM which uses google account to log me in.
2 Facebook account for facebook in addition to other sites that uses facebook login like spotify
3. My bank account at BankOfAmerica
My life revolves around these three: my work and productivity revolves around the first option. My social life and entertainment revolves around the second option. My finances and budgeting revolves around the third one. If my work, entertainment and finances are secured by high security passwords which I won’t have to worry about forgetting I am good to go and LIVE life! -arunaugustine87@gmail.com
As a very happy current 1Password user, the _next_ three passwords I would secure would be the next three websites I visit! I keep everything in need in 1Password, and through syncing it’s available to me on my Mac and my iPhone.
1. iTunes – to finally thwart my teenaged daughter/hacker who likes to go on shopping sprees; 2. Amazon, to which I send a goodly portion of my income every year; and 3. My bank, so that what remains of my income stays where I put it. goeagles21@gmail.com

wilooky@gmail.com~thank you
The first 3 online accounts I would secure with 1Password: Chase, Facebook, Google Voice
The first 3 online accounts would be Gmail, Facebook and deviantART.
The first 3 online accounts I would secure with 1Password would be my gmail account, twitter & facebook. Thanks.
The first three accounts I would change my password to would be: 1. my online banking account – despite the fact that there’s not much money there to be protected 2. my credit card account – so that nobody else but me could run up my bill! 3. my email account – so that my main way of communicating with my customers, friends and family would be safer!
Yoga is a great compliment to any MA. Its great for flexibility and its breathing and meditation exercises help with focus and stamina.
