Trouble logging in to Facebook

joshfree

When I log into Facebook with 1Password, it won't populate the fields along the top of the normal landing page. It gives me an error message, then presents me with a new screen where the fields are in the body of the page. Those can be filled in automatically by 1Password, and it works fine.



So every time I go there, it's a double log-in process with an error message. Annoying.



Anybody know how to fix this? Or whether it's possible?

Welcome to the forums, Josh.



I'm sorry that you're having this problem. Please try saving the login manually in Safari or Firefox like this:



1. Enter your username and password, but DO NOT submit the form.

2. Click the 1Password button in your browser's toolbar, and choose Save Login.

3. Set the Action field to Create New Login (or to Replace <login-name>, to update an existing Login item).

4. Click the Save button.



Using the above technique I was able to save and fill a sample login in Safari at:



https://www.facebook.com/



Manually saving a login can be useful for logins that are either problematic to begin with or were once working but have since stopped. Doing this allows 1Password to refresh everything it "knows" about the page. Login pages often change as websites are updated and this can be a necessary but very useful tip. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



I hope that helps. Please let me know.



Thanks!
