Windows LIVE login not working after timeout

TheFamousJames

Noticed a recurring issue (for me at least).



If I am visiting a site accessed via Windows LIVE login where the session times out, and I try to log back in (using the browser extension to autofill the password field), I get the following error message from 1Passsword:



[img]webkit-fake-url://B0443B4E-5B3A-4BA3-A616-206F5392EEA4/image.tiff[/img]



In case the picture above doesn't display properly, the message is:



"1Password encountered a problem. Internet Explorer is denying access to a <frame> because it is on some other domain."



I realise this may be an IE issue rather than 1P, but just wondered what causes this, and if there is a workaround.

Welcome to the forums, James!



[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This issue is not something we have any control over. The message that you are seeing is specific to Internet Explorer. IE is preventing something called "cross-domain scripting".[/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Essentially, it comes down to this: when the login <form> is inside some <frame> and this <frame> is hosted on some other domain (other than the current domain), then IE does not allow scripting access to that <frame> (and that's why 1Password cannot touch it).[/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Whenever this happens, our advice is to use [/font][/color][url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password_Windows/auto-type.html"]Auto-Type[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] or the 1Password extension in a different web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.[/font][/color]
