generated passwords in Chrome aren't saved to 1password

Hugh

When signing up for a new website I use the auto-generate function of the Chrome plugin. The passwords are generated and filled in to the registration form, but those passwords aren't then saved to the 1password database. That means I have to go through a password reset process and manually enter the subsequent password into the 1password application.



This seems to be the case for some but perhaps not all websites. The most recent example of a site that didn't work was stitcher.com.



I'm using 1password 1.0.5 for Windows 7, Chrome 11.0.696.68.

Hi, Hugh.



That is annoying! I don't know why 1Password didn't save the new strong password in the Generated Passwords category. I'll mention it to the developers.



We apologize for the inconvenience.

I think it's the same problem as [url=http://forum.agile.ws/index.php?/topic/4783-problem-with-yfrogcom/]mine[/url].

I cannot seem to reproduce this. Here's what I did:

1. click on the 1Password button in Chrome

2. click on the "Generator" tab

3. click on the "Fill" button



Result: a new item is created in the "generated passwords" category.

Stefan, did you try the Stitcher login page ([i]http://www.stitcher.com/sign_in.php[/i])?



I had the same experience there as Hugh.

I've seen this issue on several sites that I've generated passwords for.

If you can post more examples, they may help us identify a pattern.



Thanks, Hugh!

Another example: signing up for the Seesmic web app.

No entry was made in the 1pass DB after generating password and hitting "fill".

These are added to the 1Password Database as Generated Passwords. By default 1Password for Windows doesn't display those, but if you go to View in the menubar and check "Generated Passwords" you will see where these are stored.



Here' an example: [img]http://i.agilebits.com/jg/1Pwin-generated-passwords-20110530-165137.png[/img]



You can then copy the password from that item into a Login entry.

Thanks, I'll try that. The client was indeed set to hide generated passwords, as you suggested. I'm suspicious because I vaguely remember that the generated passwords didn't show up in the Chrome plugin either, but that may be a false memory.



Might I humbly suggest that generated passwords be exposed to the user by default? I can't offhand think of a scenario where a user would not want to see those, and suspect I may not be alone in failing to intuit that they are being suppressed by a setting.

You may even [b]boldly[/b] suggest that!

Hugh, it looks like this has been fixed. Even the Stitcher site is working as expected now—that is, a password generated in the 1Password extension for Chrome at that URL is now correctly saved to the Generated Passwords category.



Please make sure you're using the latest beta build, and let us know if that's your experience, too.



Thanks!
