Photographer tools come in all shapes and sizes. For instance, I previously shared a list of essential WordPress plugins for photographers and WordPress themes for photographers. So as you might have guessed, in this article, I will tell you why I believe 1Password is an essential photographer tool.
For those who do not know, 1Password is a password management application. Originally, it was developed for Mac, but has since become available for Windows, iOS and Android devices.

Password Management
Securely store all your passwords. Categorize whether they’re for business or personal. Keep them safe from prying eyes using military grade encryption. Use one one strong password to unlock the application.
Password Generation
Many applications have password generation built-in. However, 1Password does it better because of the advanced settings that you can utilize to create the strongest password you’ll ever see. Remember that you will never have to remember the crazy long password because with 1Password, you only need to remember the master.
In addition, after creating the password, you have the ability to automatically save it to your library.
Accounts
One of the features that I could see getting overlooked is the accounts section. Here you can add things like your iTunes credentials, email or FTP accounts and so on.
Secure Notes
If you need to store private and secure notes, then 1Password is the perfect solution.
Software
Keeping track of your software is so much easier with 1Password. All you have to do is type the name of the software and its license key. Then you can throw the paperwork away.
Wallet
The wallet area is the perfect place to securely store your business information, like credit cards, bank account, etc.
In Conclusion
There you have it, the perfect secure application to keep your business data safe and secure. Pick up a copy of 1Password for Mac or 1Password for iOS today. Sync it using Dropbox and never be without your important information again.
Thanks for reading and happy shooting,
