Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
So I really have 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

    We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
    Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
    When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

    Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

  • Is there a way out by which commitment item can be created in all company

    Hi  All
    Is there a way out by which commitment item can be created in all company
    codes at one go? or any other  way to do the same.
    Advance thanks
    reddy

    Thanks for your advise, 
    I mean to say  ""  GL Accounts can be replicated in all company codes using the transaction code FS15. Commitment item is created using transaction code FIPOS. The issue is as the GL can be replicated in all company codes at one go but the commitment items are to be created one by one for each company code. For creating commitment items in all company codes from x to z ", involves considerable amount of time to create GL Account completely.""
    thanks in advance  any how  assigned points

  • Is there a way to hear sounds in FF while using ASIO drivers for system audio ?

    I'd like to be able to hear sounds from FF (audio /mp3 , audio from video ) when using music applications which perform better with ASIO drivers - ASIO4ALL.
    At present I can only get audio out of FF if using system primary sound driver : when I switch to ASIO or ASIO4ALL I get audio from music apps, but lose audio in FF.
    Is there a way to set the FF audio handler to pick up whatever the system is using for sound - or specifically to choose which installed sound drivers to work with ?
    Thanks.

    So in Windows 7 after opening control panel / sounds / playback , then selecting the appropriate playback device/ speakers, then properties / advanced , then deselecting "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device", the issue is fixed - ASIO through DAW software while audio playback continues in FF, if I use ASIO drivers supplied with sound hardware - UX1. First testing, though, shows this not working with ASIO4ALL - perhaps a Windows and not a FF issue ...

  • Is there a way to find which DB object is used in which all pages

    Hi All,
    Is there any way by which we can find out which All Database objects are used in which all pages in an Application. Our Application is quite big and has lots of pages, So is there any report like functionality where I can check the DB objects used on page basis or any underlying view where we can get this information.
    Thanks,
    Vikas

    Hello Vikas,
    There are a couple of APEX Views which provide you with that information.
    If you go to Home>Utilities>Application Express Views
    following views may be useful to you:
    - APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_DB_ITEMS
    - APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_PROC
    There are a couple of others (for ex if you make use of flash charts, interactive reports etc) but if you start with the above you'll have a good starting point.

  • Is there any way to know which Apple ID was used to activat

    My father activated my iPad mini about two years ago.
    I recently restored it after updating it to iOS 8.0.2
    After restoring, it is asking for the Apple ID that was used to activate the device.
    Unfortunately my father can't remember the Apple ID he used to activate the iPad mini.
    I was wondering if there was any way i can know which apple ID was used so i can access my iPad somehow.
    Or if there is any other way possible to activate my device. PLEASE let me know.

    Click here and use Apple's iForgot service, or if needed, contact their Account Security team.
    If both methods fail and you or he is the original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

  • Is there a way to set maximum cache size or to change default cache directory to sd card on Android?

    I'm low on space in my Android Phone and Firefox Cache is huge by my phone standards. I have to clear data after each time I use firefox. Firefox is great but I'm using it less and less, day by day. I browsed Internet for tips, but while I was able to set a cache directory on sd card using "about:config", it still writes on phones internal too. It seems it duplicated cache.
    Setting a different max size using "about:config" only works temporarily, because it seems Firefox returns to default after a while.
    Thank you.

    Hello.
    To help automatically clear up some cache from Firefox, click on each of the images from left to right. Now at least you won't have to constantly do it yourself.
    Also, to help you with your space issues, download Clean Master from the Google Play app Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard this app will clean up hidden cache and useless files on your phone, helping free up space.
    And as for why Firefox keeps reverting to the default cache in "about:config", I do not know. We are sorry for any inconveniences that this has caused you. But please try doing what was mentioned above to help with your issue.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Phoenix,
    I think you might enjoy reading this article:
    What is the Difference Between HDMI and DVI? Which is Better?
    Below is a short article about each type of connection:  VGA, DVI, HDMI
    Essentially, what you get, how much hassle you go through to understand and make a choice, is based on what you expect from the connection.  VGA is low-res, dependable, and has been around the longest of the three types. 
    Decide Between VGA, DVI, and HDMI for Your Monitor Connection
    I have not had any problems with any monitor when trying to connect it to Windows 8 -- the underpinings to Windows 8 are built from Windows 7.  My experience:  If the Monitor will connect to one, it should work on the other.
    Some issues I have had with monitor connections include:
    Nvidia graphics on a Win7 machine that had to be down-reved to work with one monitor (circa 2010?)
    Irritating issues with the screen aspect ratio on a monitor that is forced to be connected to a system with a different native resolution than that of the monitor -- Do-able, just ps-ant irritating
    Switching from one system to another when the monitor is connected to two separate notebooks that are up and running at the same time -- the "switch" is more seemless on some monitors than with others
    Note that none of these issues are "show stoppers" for my purposes:  I am not a gamer.

  • Is there a way to tell which apple ID I have is better to back up to icloud?

    I want to back my iphone 4s onto icloud, but I have 2 apple ID's.  I don't know which one I should use; does it matter what I' ve purchased on either account? Is there a way to see which account I have used to purchase more?  I don't want to lose contacts, pictures, songs, etc
    thanks!

    You are mixing icloud accounts with itunes accounts - they are different.  You can use the same or different IDs for each account.  I recommend that you use the ID that was used to buy the most items from the itunes store when setting up the store connection on the device.  You'll lose access to the items bought using the other ID (only one ID at a time for the store is allowed).
    As for icloud, you can only connect to one icloud account for all the features.  Choose the one (the ID) that has the contacts, etc. that you want.  Use that ID for the icloud connection (Settings>icloud).

  • Is there a way to identify which files haven't been migrated from a backup?

    I've just upgraded my girlfriends 13" mbp from Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was behaving a little strangely and being sluggish so I erased everything before the upgrade. I've used Migration Assistant to transfer most files from a Time Machine backup but was a bit unsure about transferring everything blindly as I'm a little worried about what was causing the problems before the upgrade. The only items I didn't select in Migration Assistant were the 'All other files and folders' in the 'Users' drop box, and the 'All other files and folders on Macintosh HD'. I left these as I wanted to investigate what exactly these files were but now I have no clue how to go about this. Is there a quick way to highlight which files were present in the backup before the upgrade that aren't there now? Are any of these files likely to be hugely important?
    Also, because I backed up again after the upgrade, Migration Assistant automatically selects the last backup to migrate from instead of the one that has the missing files. Is there a way to select which backup file to use from my external drive?
    Thanks

    It's usually not a good idea to upgrade a computer that's having problems. They may get fixed, but more often they'll get worse.
    'All other files and folders on Macintosh HD'.
    Those are other files, not in any user home folders, besides system files. On most installations, they're just a few Help files, but if you've installed things or created files at the top level of a drive, they weren't migrated.

    No, unfortunately. You can only do that with a full system restore.
    If you used +Setup Assistant+ when the Mac first started up, the user accounts now on the Mac are the same ones, and you can use the "Star Wars" display to restore selected items from older backups. But you can't restore an entire home folder, or the default folders in the user's home folder (Desktop, Documents, etc.); you have to select the contents of those folders instead. See #15 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If you used the +Migration Assistant+ app, however, the user accounts may not be recognized as being the same ones, so may not have permission to see and restore from the backups.
    It's a pain, but your best bet may be to start over: do a full system restore of the last Leopard backup, per #14 in the FAQ. Then try to address the "strangely and being sluggish" issue. Once that's either fixed or you determine it isn't a big problem, just install Snow Leopard over Leopard without erasing.

  • Is there a way to set up two separate apple id's for imessaging with IOS 6?

    My wife and I have the same Itunes account and we have turned off each other's devices on our own devices (so her phone does not receive my imessages and vice versa) but is there a way to set up a whole new Apple ID just for Imessages while keeping the same Itunes account for other things so her phone does not appear as a choice under my "send/ receive" options?
    If that is not possible, is there a way to assign a new Apple id/Itunes account to one of our phones to keep them separate?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions regarding this topic.

    Hi...
    The recomended way of setting up Applleds is to have one common one for "the Stores" (iTunes, App Store & Mac App store) so that all purchases are shared, then a seperate individual account for iCloud syncing EACH
    So for instance you'd have [email protected] for the stores and [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] & [email protected] for the individuals
    Thats' what I've done here for myself, mrs & 4 kids.
