Cloudkit Login Page [used To Setup Icloud Sync In 1password For Mac

Posted on 04.10.2019admin

Haven't seen much specific discussion on this app anywhere. It seems like a powerful app on the Mac ecosystem, cross platform between all iOS and OS X versions. I'm sure I'm not using it to its full potential. I'll share some of my tricks and would like to hear how everyone else is using it: 1) Multiple vaults. In the newest iteration you can have multiple vaults.

I set up a vault just for using a Secure Note of a PDF image of my Drivers License, Car Insurance, Car Registration and Medical Insurance. This means I can unlock that vault and show a police officer or hospital clerk and not worry that I unlocked all of my private things to that person. 2) Credit Cards. It's not anything secret but 1Password lets you store CC information. I find this handy for buying things online so I can copy/paste my CC info without having to dig the card out of my wallet or a drawer somewhere.

They fucked the 3-digit code information in version 4 so that it's hidden. You can press the option key to display it. Why I'd want this hidden is beyond me because no one is going to see my screen or take pictures of my screen when this app is open. My work around is to create a custom field for the 3-digit code and that will display by default.

I also have custom fields for credit limits. Within the notes section of each credit card I put the billing address and other related info in case I want to use bill pay or a balance transfer. 3) Website auto login.

1Password seems to be a little expensive with their subscription model. I'm on v7 now, and can still sync to just iCloud or Dropbox. I use windows and macOs and they have extensions for basically all. PS: also - other apps can store additional information aside from your login pass pair for a page.

I find that if I make the login within the OS X app, it frequently fails to autofill the page. But if I make the login via the 1password Applet within Safari, that has some coding to detect where to plug the login/password into, and that has a higher success rate. If I have a login I created in OSX, I'll make a new one within the Applet, then transfer the information over, and delete the original login.

4) Secure Notes. This seems really powerful. I'm not using this to the full advantage. Having a cross-platform cloud-syncing app with encrypted notes by default is huge.

No special settings required like Evernote or others. 5) Software Licenses. Pretty cool feature that I can attach PDFs of the receipts in there. Those are mine.

Multiple vaults are still primitive but I actually find the best and most important use for them is collaborative. I have a vault for family, and individuals ones for some organizations and groups where we're all using it.

It makes for extremely convenient software license and shared account distribution and updating, allowing me to more easily wear the IT hat in a lot of situations. Multiple Vaults are still a 1.0 feature with a lot of refinement that needs to happen, but even in its current form it's one of the biggest updates and something I've been hoping for for years. In the modern world this sort of collaborative, shared functionality (as well as the personal uses like what you describe) is really helpful. 2) Credit Cards. It's not anything secret but 1Password lets you store CC information. I never purchase online with my main credit card, I always make a per-merchant generated card with set spending limits/expiration, that way if they get hacked I don't even have to think about it. My main card number is never stored or transmitted everywhere.

1P is helpful for keeping track of the few cases though where I'm using a card for a merchant repeatedly but they won't store it. Since I'll often need to login to raise the balance anyway though it's a niche use case. Hopefully this whole rigamarole is obsoleted entirely in short order via initiatives like Apple Pay, or the companies finally getting off their lazy butts and actually making some of this a bit more user-friendly themselves. Or even just making APIs and partnering with the likes of 1Password or LastPass to integrate it into their GUIs.

It's frustrating and also a bit confusing that it didn't happen years ago actually, after all the pieces are all in place already and require zero merchant changes, and fraud is a big money drain. A really extensive revamp like Apple's takes more work, but just the custom card thing would be very low hanging fruit yet still useful. 5) Software Licenses. Pretty cool feature that I can attach PDFs of the receipts in there. That's been there for a long time, but yes have software licenses around like that has definitely always been one of the more useful workhorse features.

Being able to attach files is important since some software does in fact use files for the license key rather then a serial number or similar. Going forward, I hope they continue to improve collaborative capability and do to use and support certificates and eventually hardware tokens as well. They might be in a position to help make some of that more convenient and mainstream, which would be a major achievement. My nr 1 tip: Changing to the newer, more secure data format.

Yeah, good pick and one I forgot. AgileBits trumpeted finally fixing data leakage with an updated format in 1Password 4, but I don't recall them ever making clear that no, merely upgrade to 1Password 4 doesn't do jack squat for old users, which was pretty disappointing behavior. The devs actually came into the Mac Ach to talk about fixing the format a year or two back and it was great to see them acknowledge the problem and then finally make a solution.

But it does no good if it's not used and users don't know to migrate. The standard format used for Dropbox syncing,.agilekeychain, doesn't encrypt titles or URLs of items. The newer format,.opvault does this and is improved in other ways as well. To get.opvault for Dropbox, you need to first enable iCloud sync and copy the folder onepassworddata (or something like that) then rename this folder to 1Password.opvault.

This bundle can now be put in Dropbox. You should also be able to simply export all items as a 1pif and then import it into a fresh opvault, though I've seen a few people complain this sometimes fails. So keep around a local backup of the original, at least until you can check the new one. Edit: to be clear 1P4 does convert older stuff into the newer, secure format internally, but when using Dropbox is defaults to a sync file with the old format. They said it's for compatibility with older versions of 1P, but that's foolish to not make an option for something security related.

Apparently they do plan to do a full migration everywhere soon, I just went and looked again and there's some newer support responses in the last few weeks to that effect, which hopefully will come with a full data rebuild to make sure all old data is using enough PBKDF2 rounds. So this may be dealt with in short order, but for the time being anyone using Dropbox rather then iCloud probably still has the old format in the cloud, not the new one.

Same reason you should cover the pin pad when using credit/debit cards. It's a real thing but me personally, I am never using 1Password in a public place on my laptop. And I'm paranoid about everything I do on my computer so I take precautions from using my laptop at all when people can walk behind me. Other than at work, when I'm doing actual work using someone else's computer (the business gives me a computer). But other people do, which is why that feature is there.

Yeah, and whining about defaults or 'why would I ever want this' is more then a little silly in 1P4, since one of the major UI updates was significant customizability in the UI. With custom fields (that can be set to password or plain text) or whole custom sections, it's reasonably flexible within the app itself.

Nothing wrong with them defaulting to something safer when it's utterly trivial to make a CVV field. For any of you that want to mess with the defaults though or have more total customizability of fields, just edit the templates in 1Password.app/Contents/Resources/CategoryTemplates. They're just plain nested text, basically self-documenting. In biochemistry's case, in the time he took to complain about it he could have swapped CreditCard.template's cvv field from 'concealed' to 'string' instead.

The newer format,.opvault does this and is improved in other ways as well.

To get.opvault for Dropbox, you need to first enable iCloud sync and copy the folder onepassworddata (or something like that) then rename this folder to 1Password.opvault. This bundle can now be put in Dropbox. I didn't know this. Don't think I will do it though, because I doubt the Windows Phone app supports the newer format (it hasn't been updated since Windows Phone 7).

No one else has mentioned iPassword 5? Or that it's a free upgrade for iPassword 4 users? Edit: looks like the new format doesn't include 1PasswordAnywhere yet, which is a deal killer. You can get the Mac version now with coupon code MacPowerUsers for $27.99. If you're a student, go through their edu store and get it for $22.39. I missed their heartbleed sale but the pricing is pretty close this time. It should be noted that because of CloudKit 1P5 cannot use iCloud Sync if it isn't purchased from the App Store.

Right, I found out after I bought it actually. Not a big deal for me as I'll just use wifi sync but I'll edit my post.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee so if you bought it and want iCloud sync you can get a refund. I don't think you can get the bundle deal with the mac app store version and windows version though. Thanks for the tip. Discount works for the bundle too so I finally bought the Mac+Windows version for what I consider to be a reasonable price. Full on 1P convert from LastPass now.And it is certainly addicting having your CCs in 1P so I don't need my wallet for my impulse purchases now.

I always had my debit card memorized, but don't need to anymore. I'm also a Lastpass convert (and I even have Lastpass premium).

Their android app and extensions are fine but the iOS app is not so good. I was hoping the new update with Touch ID support would fix many of the issues but it's still not as good as 1Password on iOS and OS X. Hrm,.opvault, if it forces itself to live in iCloud, would also mean it offers no web interface for access as well. That option has saved my bacon a couple times. I suppose I could create a separate vault using agile with just essential stuff, but that's a crappy concession. True, opvault doesn't offer a web interface but that's not because it's iCloud only because well, it isn't.

You can use opvault with Dropbox. However, even if you can view the opvault folder/bundle on Dropbox.com, you can't view the unencrypted contents simply because the developers haven't written a web client for the opvault format. And I don't except them to write one, ever. Here's an official response: But shall we move back to topic about tips and tricks? How about some keyboard shortcuts? I use cmd + shift + c to copy a password from mini, and cmd + o to anchor an item.

Quite useful. And to save an item manually in the browser? Cmd +, and then cmd + n.

Forgive my ignorance here, this is meant as a legitimate question. Does 1PAssword work when logging into an OWA environment? 1Password (and other password manager plugins) can fill any HTML form (assuming nobody has done customized work specifically to try to make it impossible), and in turn the normal Exchange OWA login will work fine (Office 365 uses OWA too). If whatever you're using isn't upgraded to Exchange 2013 I think you may have to still deal with browser restrictions, but there's a 1P plugin for all the major browsers. I've never used the S/MIME functionality there though so if you depend on that you should test it out.

1Password can store files so I imagine you could stick your key/cert in there depending on corporate policy, though it wouldn't auto add it. If yes, I buy right now. 1Password has a fully functional 30-day trial and unlimited demo period. If you're interested in it for an internal application that might be customized you should really give it a spin for a few weeks first. You can always export anything you've added into plain text (comma/tab delimited) so you won't get locked in. Even with the sales 1Password isn't nothing, there's no reason not to take advantage of the trial and get a feel for it.

After all, even though it should all work fine you might end up just plain not liking the UI for example. @mkg Be aware though that you shouldn't necessarily upgrade the trial version by buying a license on the developer's site. Instead, it could be a better idea buying the app on the Mac App Store. The benefit is that you'll get iCloud sync if you go with the MAS version. And, if you for some reason want to use the website version after you bought it on MAS (for example if you can live without iCloud but want the website version's speedier updates), the developer could always generate a license for you (because they control their own license system). The opposite, going from a website license to a free MAS purchase, it not as easy because a developer only have a limited amount of MAS coupons to give away. So I have iPassword 4 for Mac purchased from their website back in the spring during a sale.

I went that route to get faster upgrades and to support the dev (no 30% cut from the MAS). Now that version 5 is out, it seems I need to purchase an upgrade. On their website, that upgrade for a single Mac license is $25. But now that version no longer supports iCloud sync, which I do use. So it seems I will need to purchase from the MAS which means no upgrading. However with the current sale going on, the MAS is only $10 more than the web site upgrade.

Just download it and use the same license file they gave you the first time round. If you've not got it they'll send it to you again if you go through their support site. If you want icloud sync though you're going to have to go through the MAS. 4 and 5 use the same license file.I don't think 5 requires a paid upgrade?unless you want to use iCloud sync. ICloud has rules, one of them is that accessing it requires code/api's only available to programmers that use the App Store marketplace. So if I go download version 5 from the dev's website, that will break 1Password sync'ing between my iPhone and my Mac unless I am willing to use Dropbox (which I can't since I don't want to put my 1Password data files on my work Dropbox acct)? So if I go download version 5 from the dev's website, that will break 1Password sync'ing between my iPhone and my Mac unless I am willing to use Dropbox (which I can't since I don't want to put my 1Password data files on my work Dropbox acct)?

You don't need to use dropbox. You can sync to a folder on your Mac or just sync using wifi without storing any files (the latter just requires you to leave the app open on all syncing devices until sync is finished). Yeah, I'm not sure I understand. The MAP version of 1P has all the same features as the site version but can -also- sync over iCloud.

It shouldn't force you to change the way you're doing anything. 1) Multiple vaults. In the newest iteration you can have multiple vaults.

I set up a vault just for using a Secure Note of a PDF image of my Drivers License, Car Insurance, Car Registration and Medical Insurance. This means I can unlock that vault and show a police officer or hospital clerk and not worry that I unlocked all of my private things to that person. I know some jurisdictions accept electronic proof of insurance, but would any cop accept a picture of your driver's license in stead of the real thing?

But as far as version 5 goes, only the MAS version can do iCloud syncing. 1) Multiple vaults. In the newest iteration you can have multiple vaults.

If it's in a situation where they'd leave you alone if you just had your license, I'm sure they'd be willing to let it go after confirming your pic and DL# on their own machines. If they want to jail you they'll do it regardless of if you have your ID or not.
