This post pertains to 1 Password for Mac and the latest update available.

As far as I can tell logging in works flawlessly but I've also had time to have 
a little play with the latest Safari Extension, whilst some features of the 
extension still seem to be a little fiddly there's still a lot there which can 
be used and I hope to be able to describe this accurately.

Before going any further though I should point out that I'm not feeling 100% 
right now and wasn't when testing the extension and the 1 Password software 
itself so its possible that I may have missed something and if a list member 
believes I've overlooked a thing or 2 then by all means let us know <smile>.

Firstly, I've been able to "login" to every site I had saved in 1 Password from 
Safari itself, for example I've typed in the URL of the site and gone to the 
"login" page where appropriate, I've then pressed command-\ which is the 
default key combination to access the Safari extension to "Fill login" details.

At this point 1 password may pop-up asking you to enter your "Master Password" 
but this may not be evident to the Voiceover user until you browse the screen 
to see what's going on but the password field is easy enough to find so enter 
the password, press the "Unlock" button and 1 Password will fill in the login 
information.

and what if this doesn't work? Well examine the Safari extension page closely, 
you'll see a list of "logins", you can select from one of these, double-click 
it with the mouse.

Why does this list pop up and why didn't Safari log me in automatically? Its 
most likely that your saved "login" information for the site wasn't an exact 
match for the details 1 Password had.  I've not yet found out how 1 saves login 
information from the Safari 1 Password extension as yet so I created a new 
"login" for the site I had trouble with manually in the 1 Password application 
itself, launch 1 Password and enter your "Master Password".

The search box will have focus so type in the name of the login you're having 
trouble with.

Focus will then be directed to an "Object List" and your login will have focus, 
if not browse the list until you find what you want.

Next move to the write to the second scroll area, you'll find all the "login" 
information you've saved here such as user name, password etc and you may like 
to copy this information and paste it into Text edit to make sure you don't 
lose it.

You can now use the context menu to "Delete" the item, don't worry it will be 
assigned to the "Trash" should you wish to retrieve it for whatever reason 
later.

Now open the file menu, select "New Item" and from there "New Login", fill in 
all the fields and paste back the information you copied to Text Edit if 
appropriate.

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and press the "Save" button, at this point 
all should be done.

Remember its important that the login information 1 Password has saved for a 
site is accurate and reflects the "Login" page for that entry.

For those who would rather save some time and import strings of "Logins" then 
I'm sure there's a way of doing that too! will save you the bother of having 1 
Password prompting you to "Save" a login every time you visit a web page, as I 
said earlier I haven't found a way of accessing the "Save" function in the 
Safari 1 Password extension yet.
