Display: For HTTP Auth Prompts Only ...

Terry McDanel

<div class="IPBDescription">Display option in Login items</div>My apologies for a probably stupid question.. but..



I cannot find in the documentation an explanation of this option in a 1Pw bookmark:



Display: For HTTP Auth Prompts Only ... or For webpages only ... never .. always



Where is an explanation of what this is about?

Hello Terry,



Most websites use a standard web page to login, but 1Password also supports HTTP Auth prompts, and you can fiddle with those settings on sites where you login via HTTP authentication (also called [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication"]basic access authentication[/url]).

Each Login item can be used to fill passwords for HTTP Auth prompts ([url="http://goldmark.org/test/guest-only/"]click here for an example of an HTTP Auth prompt style login[/url]), web pages, both, or none. 1Password will automatically set this for each Login item, so unless you need to change this, it is best to leave it alone. <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.

Can someone guide me through the display option at the bottom of an item ... with the pop-up menu of always, only in browser etc ... I can't quite get what it is asking.



Thanks

Thanks for your reply and yes I see this is the relevant thread ...

Okay what does it mean if I make an item "Never display in browser"?

Still don't get what this setting achieves.

Crispin,



On Khad's behalf, you're very welcome!



What the 'Never Display in Browser' option means is that the Login item you set this for won't be displayed when 1Password brings up the list of Logins for the site you're on. This is handy for older or infrequently used Login items.



The item will still be available in the 'Go & Fill' options and this option currently doesn't apply to our Chrome extension, though this is something we're hoping to change with future updates.



Hope that makes sense,
