1PasswordAnywhere: 1Password.html file not written to Dropbox

eoghan.hayes

Hi,



New to the forums. I have recently started using 1password for iOS and wondered if there was a webapp to access my stored passwords. I've noticed there is a feature called 1password anywhere but I'm not clear as to whether it is only available for the desktop version of the app. I have enabled dropbox synching but the folder doesn't contain a html file.



Please let me know if this should be available to me.



Thanks,



Eoghan

Hey Eoghan



I personally think its easier to get started on the Dropbox site. You can find the html on the desktop app. Its just a little harder. Lets get you started and then we can do more complicated things. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



Go to the Dropbox web site for example and look for the 1Password folder.



Its like this Dropbox > 1Password (folder) > 1Password.agilekeychain (folder) > 1Password.hmtl



Notes:



You cannot take the html file outside the folder as it needs the info inside the folder to work properly.

Thightower,



As I said, I don't have a html file at that location in the 1password folder; when I navigate there, I only see a folder called "data" and there are no html files anywhere in the 1password folder. I am guessing this is because 1password anywhere is only available for the desktop (Mac or Windows) version of the app and not for the iOS only version which I run. I am hoping someone can give me a definitive answer on this. If I should be able to access 1password via dropbox, I may need some assistance in figuring out what is going wrong with my installation.



Thanks,



Eoghan

Mmmmm I am pretty sure it should get created even using the iOS version. khad (admin) should be around in the the next day lets see what he says. I am not sure of his days off.

Ill also send him a message.

I have precisely the same problem.



It does not matter how I access DropBox, whether from Safari, from within 1Password or wherever.



I have a folder named '1Password', which open to a folder called '1Password.agilekeychain'. When that is opened I have one folder named 'Data', and that contains no HTML file.



I have 1Password on iPhone 4S and Ipad (4th gen), and am using Windows 7 and latest release of Safari.



Having read a number of threads, I do not have a 'file repair' option on either my phone or iPad.



I was thinking of buying 1Password for Windows, which how I got here, but I'm concerned that some functionality is missing from the newly purchased and downloaded 1Password App.



This is not a 'I cannot open the HMTL file' question, but rather 'there is no HTML file'.



Thank you



Chris

Welcome to the forums, Eoghan and Chris! Thanks for taking the time to contact us. I'm sorry that you are having some trouble.



I was just able to reproduce this problem. For some reason the 1Password.html file required for 1PasswordAnywhere does not appear to be written to Dropbox by default in 1Password 4 for iOS.



However, there is a simple solution.



1. [b]Make sure Dropbox syncing has completed[/b] in both 1Password on your iOS device as well as your desktop computer.

2. In Finder on your Mac or Windows Explorer on your PC, make a [b]copy[/b] of your existing [b]1Password.agilekeychain[/b] data from your Dropbox folder on your desktop as a backup.

3. [b]Enable [url="http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/iOS/Sync/iTunes-File-Sharing/itfs-getting-started.html"]iTunes File Sharing[/url][/b] in 1Password on your iOS device ([b]Settings > Sync[/b]).

4. Open iTunes on your desktop computer and drag the [b]1Password.agilekeychain[/b] file from iTunes File Sharing to the 1Password folder within your Dropbox folder ([b]overwriting the existing copy[/b]). [url="http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/iOS/Sync/iTunes-File-Sharing/itfs-move-to-pcs.html"]Complete steps are in the User Guide if you need them[/url].



The copy of [b]1Password.agilekeychain[/b] you just dragged should contain the 1Password.html file which will allow you to use 1PasswordAnywhere as expected.



I'll file this with the developers (RM4184) so we can get this resolved in a future update. The 1Password.html file should be written directly to Dropbox as part of the data file. This workaround should not be required.



If we can be of further assistance in the meantime, please let us know. We are always here to help!

Khad,



I'm glad it wasn't me doing something wrong! I really was starting to doubt my own sanity and intelligence.



Thank you for the workaround, and I now have the function sorted.



Obviously, these things happen in software development but they do cause confusion at this end. I appreciate the prompt response which allows me to get such a lot out of this valuable app.



Hopefully, now the issue has been identified you can rectify it, and other users can see the (temporary) workaround.



Thanks



Chris

It is my pleasure to help. It will definitely be resolved in a future update. I'm glad the workaround did the trick for you for now. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



Enjoy the rest of your week!
