1PASSWORD: Remembering passwords is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, if you use the same password across the Internet, anyone can crack your accounts. On the other, if you use too many di;erent passwords, you might be incorrect and get locked out. This uite of desktop and mobile applications houses your passwords and even gener- ates random ones. Double locked by a PIN and a master password, it seals passwords away in the software while keeping them easy to
access. Secure Web browser plug-ins let you auto-
matically input the keys without having to switch back to the program, and an
array of versions, for everything from iPads to PCs, makes 1Password a new
standard for online security. Prices vary. $49 for computers; $15 for iOS and
Android; free versions available. agilebits.com/onepassword
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G and now 4G—with every technological leap we
take, it gets easier for people to access data. But every time one of these
new inventions is rolled out, cybercrooks also get new ways to steal
your information. Safeguard your bits, bytes and hardware with these
security-conscious gadgets.—John Patrick Pullen
BUNGEEAIR POWER SECURITY CASE:
Out of sight sometimes means out of mind, but not if you
have this iPhone case and key fob combo. With the ability
to secure your phone, remind you if you’ve forgotten your
handset and find either your mobile or your keys if you’ve
lost them, the BungeeAir is the perfect accessory for the
absent-minded. Paired with a security app,
the device passcode locks the iPhone if you
(and your keys) walk away, and it can provide
extra power in a pinch with an included bat-
tery. If you don’t need the extra juice, Kensing-
ton also makes a cheaper model that packs
the same features, minus the auxiliary power.
