OS X :: How Do I Secure So I Can Safely Save My 1password
Nov 28, 2008
I use 1password and it requires me to put in my password every time. It gives me the option to remember the PW in the keychain, but when I select that it gives me a serious sounding warning that basically says it is not safe to do it the keychain is not properly secured which by default it is not. How do I secure it so I can safely save my 1password PW?
In dreaded Microsoft word I use "Save As", then click "Options" and there is the option to save my file with a password so that my kids can't get in and muck up my business writing.
I can't see "Options" under "Save as" but I'm just trialling iWorks (full iWorks disc arrives next week).
The 1password keychain is encrypted, but if I open the keychain file so I can use 1password or to look up info on my keychain on an open unsecure WiFi, could other people see my passwords and secure notes?
I believe read Dropbox stores all files encrypted, but that MobileMe does not encrypt them. Is that correct? But since the 1password keychain is already encrypted it's not necessary to have it stored encrypted like on Dropbox??
a license for 1password, but not for the vers. 3.x, since I received my license from the macheist bundle some years back. Do anyone of you know where I can download older versions of the application?
I find 1Password to be amazing, but my one complaint is that it doesn't seem easy to make logins for anything other than a web password. What about for my wireless password? To my school education account? My OS X password? Skype? AIM? MSN? Can anyone explain how to do this? I know I could just leave the website field blank, but that seems like a pitiful work around.
Soon after reinstalling Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on my Macbook after a crash, I noticed that my iPhone calendars and contacts were no longer syncing with my mac. After a few days, iTunes would not even recognize my iPhone when I plugged it in. I followed a couple of apple troubleshooting documents and things got worse, to the point where a newly installed iTunes would not start up.In the crash report, I noticed that iTunes was trying to load the 1Password Input Manager, a file left over from an old version of 1Password. Running the 1Password uninstaller, downloaded from their site, and reinstalling 1Password fixed all the above problems.Â
I use a program called 1Password (which is pretty much the freakin' coolest application out there, other than Quicksilver). Click here for more info about this app...For the longest time now, I have been dying to get the developers of 1Password to integrate their program with Quicksilver so that I could use QS to launch any of my saved 'web form' entries (which are basically 1Password database entires that store a URL, and your corresponding username/password for that for that URL - and when a web form is launched via the programs 'Go-and-fill' command, the application will open the specified website in your browser and will automatically log you in, without the need for any user intervention whatsoever).
Just thought I would post this article from when the Safari 4 beta came out and would not work with 1Password. I just did the same thing with the final release of Safari 4 that came out today and it worked just fine. The only thing different is you need to change the value to 5530.17 instead of 5528.16.

Im sure 1Password will fix it in the next day or two, but for those of you who cant wait this will work.
I've been trying to buy it since yesterday but the 1password site,[URL]seems to be down for me.Can anyone else access it, or is the site having problems? (One would hope they're not security problems )
i am having trouble using 1password and firefox.everytime i go to a website that i need to login to, 1password never works.but if i go to the same site with safari, im automatically logged in.
If your 1Passwords stops working you need to modify the SupportedBrowsers.plist File. This allows 1Password to work with this developer preview version of Safari. This file is located within 1Password App itself so you need to do the following: Right click 1Password and "Show Application Contents" Go to: Contents -> Resources -> SupportedBrowsers.plist Open this file with TextEdit and copy and paste the following(replace all the text in this file): OR Download the attached file and replace it with this version.
I'm running Lion 10.7.3 on my iMac and Macbook Air. I upgrade 1Password to the latest build (3.8.16) on my iMac last week but didn't use safari on it until yesterday when I noticed that Safari just opens blank with a spinning beachball? Not a major problem as I've been using my Air..... but just now when I also upgrade 1Password on the Air, Safari stops working and same issue. Firefox works fine.
So i already did try to update once, charging in, following all the instructions. In the middle of the update a error occurred and i couldn't start it again. After resetting the harddrive and reinstalling the OS it worked again. And now there are some games i would like to play that require 10.9 and im wondering how i should do it to not fail.
I am tidying my HD prior to upgrading to SL and have just realised I have 2 library folders one on the HD (21gB) another in my user account (10gB). Do I need them both and if not which one can I safely trash?
Just installed CS5 and Lightroom 3. What's the best (cleanest) way to delete my CS4 applications? I assume there's stuff in the Application Support folders that I should get rid of, but I'm not sure what in there I shouldn't delete.
I'm new to Apple. I have an iMac (fairly recent) - beats me if it is an "Intel" or a "PPC" .I have my camera attached via a cable and I want to disconnect safely.
I need to download some other software made by some small companies or individuals, that is not available on the app store, and is not digitally signed. It is not free (price), and is not open source (so I cannot determine all the things it does).If I install the software in a different user account on my mac, will the software still be able to access files in any of my other user accounts ?To install the software it asks for the administrator password.
The software is widely used within a niche market, and so far no one has reported any complaints. But at the same time it is a niche market, and if there is a practice I can follow to safely use this software and not compromise my mac, then I would like to do that.

I have an "extra" Mini that I want to set-up in my kitchen. My plan is to mount the computer vertically on the inside of a cabinet. Will mounting the Mac in this way cause any trouble with the hard drive or DVD?
Lion 10.7.3 on a new mac mini. I learned about the Flashback trojan virus, I disabled Java in Safari preferences as per tech articles, I have all the updates including the Flashback removal tool. I go to NPR.org to listen to some audio podcasts as well as other news articles and I get a notice "You need to install Adobe Flash Player v.8 to view item." My understanding is Java is needed for me to use Adobe Flash Player using Safari on my new mac mini Will I ever be able to view these numerous sites requiring Adobe Flash safely with my new Apple computer?
I have a broken MBP that wont boot, repair is too expensive so I will be buying a new one. I plan on changing out the hard drive (because it has 500 GB capacity) and also the ram (total of 6 GB's) and putting them into my new notebook of the same year and model. However I am curious: if there is a problem with one of these components (hard drive, ram) is there a chance that it can infect the new computer? I don't know much about computers in this regard and I don't want to transfer and issue from my old MBP (Which repairer's said could be a bad video graphic card but they are not sure).Â
I just got my iMac today and started the migration process, and I'm wondering how you do this safely. I decided that I would rather do this process overnight so I can start using my Mac right now.
Is it safe to download 'Skype' to my Mac OS from the internet as I was advised to use Apple Apps and there is only 'Facetime' which can only be used Apple to Apple.
Is there any way I can safely browse the internet on my Mac using an unsecured wireless network? I know people do it all the time now and I'm wondering if there are any precautions I can take like when I'm paying bills for buying something online with my credit card?
