Hi Bryan 1Password doesn't seem to be doing a lot here, despite the fact that, I thin, it's properly configured. I set it up to allow us to auto-login. But still we're being presented with website passwords and asked to save the darn thing every time by 1Password. We have the latest OSX extension installed and configured. Per Dane's suggestion of yesterday I did go in to the preferences and configure the password preferences. I set them to what should have been automated mode, but to no effect it seems.
We have the latest 1Password application installed. Clearly I'm doing something wrong but i'm absolutely baffled by what it might be. I'm getting to the point now where I'm contemplating using the very excellent "TrashMe" application to zap the darn thing and then just go back to the old way of doing things, manually. I'd rather not, as the concept of 1Password does, I can't deny, appeal to me. It has some very nice side-features which although we haven't yet used, I'm sure we could make good use of them if we could get the thing configured. But, it's just the usual thing I guess, time getting in the way at the moment. I've been working since 7 this morning to catch up with things I should have got done this week for my paid side of things. Those are now done and ready for the masses on Monday. So I'm trying now to get things configured for the non-commercial side of our operations and just today we overcame a very large obstacle which has been presenting a very big problem for a couple of months. Anyway, back to the point. I'll probably end up tearing up the existing work sheet and starting again. I'm not just throwing in the towel, don't get me wrong. I'm sure that 1Password is capable of far more and better than it's doing right now. I don't dispute for a second that this is most likely user configuration error. But at the moment it has me most confused. As for your security concerns, yes, I understand them totally. In fact I share some of them. But in all fairness, I think 1Password is pretty safe, since it's been designed from the ground up to be so. It's hard sometimes to let go of old paranoia. I still have a few of them which I just can't drop. But I think it's safe enough to trust 1Password. But I think I'll drop that just for now and see if I can set up TrueCrypt. Lynne tried, but gave up after a while because she found it too complicated. Well, she isn't a bird like me, I'll have a shot at it now and see if I can't encrypt a folder or two so that we can store it on Drop Box etc. Gordon On 24 Sep 2011, at 15:48, Bryan Jones wrote: I am a happy convert to 1Password on my Mac, iphone & ipad. I do not, however, knowingly allow any applications to pass passwords to websites or other requesters, and 1Password is no exception. If I cannot recall an ID or password, I take the extra minute to launch 1Password, listen to the info I need, and then manually enter it into the requesting website or application. This practice probably stems from a high level of paranoia I acquired while working in corporate IT security for a number of years, YMMV. Prior to converting to 1Password, I had used a product called SplashID on my Palm, Mac and Windows devices for years, but that product had serious issues when it came to syncing the database to multiple IOS devices, so after doing my research and following discussions by Dane and others, I jumped on 1Password when it went on sale a few months ago as part of a Macupdate promo bundle.
