What about your iPhone files? iTunes keeps those files plus backups and they contain sensitive information worth encrypting. Maybe you can consider supporting that. (Not the music files, etc.. but the data like your notes etc.) OK I had one more thought.

If you haven't already, you can sign up for the announcement list on the <a href="http://www.taoeffect.com/espionage/news" rel="nofollow">News page</a>, we'll let everyone on the list know the second it's released. @Guy: sometime next week, we’re finishing up the beta test right now.

Just make sure that it's unlocked before you use any web browser. Though again, there's little reason to do that as Agile already encrypts their keychain with AES-128 bit encryption. Thanks for the Skype suggestion, I'm surprised we left that off. Psi unfortunately stores its data in a non-standard, invisible directory, so to avoid headaches we probably won't add that to the list, but you'll still be able to manually ... do that secret thing that is coming in the next version. :-) @Guy, yes, as I said above, you can encrypt 1Password’s folder.

But can we please encrypt the 1Password folder (including the default backup folder)? Also please add "Psi" and "Skype" to the list of supported applications. Hey Greg,

Also, Espionage (when set to use the login keychain), could not use it if that folder was encrypted. We still have not confirmed the PGP conflict (if it exists), but that is on our todo list. We're now up to 17 applications. The new additions are: Together, Yojimbo, Cents, CheckBook Pro, Financial Life, and QuickBooks 2009. (Note: We're only looking for applications that store their data in a *specific location* and can't already encrypt all of their data.) We still have time to add more, so let us know if you think of any! Thank you for your suggestions guys!

Please be sure to address any conflicts with PGP WDE in the new update. - Together (Formerly Keep It Together)

Usually these programs do this themselves but not all of them unfortunately. Any financial software such as Quicken should be encrypted.
