I use Keychain2Go which syncs between Keychain and your mobile device. Seems to work well unless you have long items in your fields. They run off the window with no way to scroll over to see the rest. Synch works well.

1Password for me. Syncs well using DropBox, password data is encrypted, and there are iOS, Mac, and Windows versions. Mac and Windows versions come with browser plugins for easy storage and retrieval of all your website logins.

1Password is GREAT solution, I've used it in the past. I now use and prefer Lastpass. App's for all the platforms (mac, pc, mobile) are all FREE. Premium features, to include mobile syncing are $12/yr. Interface is very consistent across all platforms.

Older versions of 1Password used to implement themselves by 'hacking' its way into the system via a fake InputManager. Is this still the case nowadays.?

I like LastPass Pro. $12/year and syncs with master password across all your devices. No extra charges for software on different devices.

1Password is the best solution. What you do is to keep the main password storage file on Dropbox. From there, you can synchronize between your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Macintoshes. It is fantastic!
