- You can get 1Password in the Apple App Store. A free version is available but the Pro version is $7.99.

- When you first open 1Password you have to create a four-digit pass code.

- The pass code is your first line of defense. Type in four numbers and you'll be asked to type them again.

- Now you'll be back at the main screen and you'll need to set a Master Password.

- This can contain letter, numbers and special characters. You'll have to type it in twice.

- Now you're in the main interface. Here, you can create Logins, Wallet entries and more.

- 1Password comes with many handy templates that make it easy to enter your information.

- If you tap on Settings you'll see WiFi Sync.

- If you use 1Password on your Mac you can sync it wirelessly with the copy on your iPhone.

- You can also change the display, the database options and more.

- Even if you don't use 1Passwords on a Mac this iPhone version is a great way to handle such things on your iPhone.
