I need this even though it’s querky

1password Autofill Safari 13

Open Safari on your Mac, and then click on Safari menu. Select Preferences options and then choose the Passwords tab. Make sure “AutoFill usernames and passwords” box is checked. One more thing that you need to check if options are checked in Autofill tab. Select all boxes that apply. 1password will autofill on most websites. Once in a while I will have to do a copy/paste. Could be I am using it wrong. Theoretically 1Password should help me. After a lot of trouble I finally managed to get its extension button to show up in Safari 5, and I added Tesco's sign-in page to 1Password (v2.5.8 - I've had it for years but not used it). “With iOS 11, Apple introduced the ability to fill from your iCloud Keychain into Safari and into apps,” says 1Password’s Mac and iOS team lead at AgileBits, Michael Fey.

Below is the script for a video course I’m writing.

Introduction

In this course you will learn how to protect your bank account and other websites from being hacked (as easily).

This is probably the most important tutorial I’ve createdbecause it’s one thing we can do to keep our accounts safe from predators.

It’s not safe to use a single password on several websitesbecause hackers use programs to try passwords.

It’s also not safe anymore to use a pattern to vary passwords slightly on each sitebecause passwords from many breached websites are open,so hackers can now recognize patterns from several sites.

We should also use different user names for each site.

We can keep a list of passwords in a file.

But what if our laptop gets lost or stolen?

So what we need is a way to generate a different strong password for each website we use.

That’s what 1Password does.

If you forget your private information,several websites, such as Salesforce and job application site Valeo, don’t provide much support.

The software gives us access to a password list protected by a master password.

There are several products available to hold passwords.

1Password is unique in that it allows its password file to not leave the computer,and be stored in some cloud server for hackers to steal.

The software is called one password because you use one password to access all the passwords it saves.

This enables you to open the same website on any browser.

Moreover, this would enable someone to have access to your accounts in case you are disabled or die.

NOTE: What the software doesn’t do is automatically change the password on every website.

Install

Software is installed on your operating system.

Software also needs to be installed on each internet browser you have installed.

Clear out Saved Passwords saved on browsers

Now that you have 1Password working, clear out auto complete on browsers:

Internet browsers save passwords and other data typed to fill out forms.

And when you enter a username and password that the browser has not already stored for a website, it will ask if you want it to remember the password. Deny that.

But this convenience can be dangerous because any site you visit can potentially get at that autofill data.
