Login to a website using Remote and 1Password


Recommended Posts

One feature I use a lot is to login to websites using Alfred and the 1Password extension on the Mac.

 

I would like to extend this to being able to login to websites from a single tap on my iPad using Remote.

 

However, I can't find any way of doing this. I presume I need to create a workflow and add a Remote trigger. But creating the workflow is the problem.

I don't understand how to incorporate the 1Password integration.

 

Can anyone tell me if the above is possible and, if so, how to do it?

 

Are there likely to be any security issues with logging in to a (possibly secure) website using the Remote feature?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Use Applescript -- it'll be along the lines of 

 

tell application "Alfred 2"

   search "1p mybankshortcut" (*bring up Alfred's search window with the 1password item - substitute desired item for mybankshortcut*)
  delay 2

end tell

 

tell application "System Events"

  keystroke return (* hit return *)
end tell

 

BUT you'll need to authenticate with 1password and your master password first.  If you try to script that part of the process, you'll need to enter your 1password master password in the script.  Which would be very bad.

A safer option is to launch 1Password, drag a login to a folder on your Mac (not your desktop - somewhere where it can stay more permanently than this). You've essentially created a 1-click bookmark this way. 

 

Now launch your Alfred Prefs to the Remote tab and drag the bookmark to an empty square in your Remote. Add a nicer icon and title if you like.

 

When you launch Remote, you'll now be able to launch this bookmark directly from Remote. If you're authenticated to 1Password already, the page will launch and log you in. If you're not yet authenticated, the 1Password screen will pop up, requiring you to type your master password in.

Hi dfay and Vero. Thank you for your replies.

 

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I have been away from my computer for a few days.

 

I tried Vero's solution first as it seemed the easier route, and it works like a charm.

 

I now have lots of work to do to get all my logins lined up on my iPad and iPhone.

 

Alfred + Remote is a great combination!

 

Thank you both once again.
