I forget where I saw this tip first but pretty soon a bunch of people posted/retweeted it.
I just finally got around to trying it and thought it was a pretty good tip so I thought I’d record a screencast.

As I mention in the video, one requirement is that you need to be running 1Password already. So if you’re not, use the links below to pick up a copy.

Is there a quick way to fill in a password in other programs (like iTunes)? I feel like I’m missing something, each time I want to download or update an app I need to open 1password copy the password and paste it. Is there a quicker way?
Great tip, thanks Chris
Nope — not that I’m aware of. For my iTunes account, which is annoying to have to type in on a iPhone, I use something somewhat complex but not so hard that I can’t remember it.
There’s a check box when you’re generating a password in 1Password that allows you to have it be pronounceable — screenshot http://l.ssktn.com/bCaM — so that can help as well when you’re picking a password.
Thanks for watching/reading!
