Auto fill-in passwords

Question

In 2.0, I used the 1Password App for auto fill-in. I installed 3.0 and activated auto fill-in in Settings. However, if a site logs me out automatically, how do I cause Safari to enter the password when I log back in? 1Password fills in the User ID and password every time, but for some reason Safari in 3.0 seems only to fill in the User ID? Perhaps I configured it wrong.

Answer 1

I think this information is stored in
/Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
I've no idea if it's possible to read it (opened in TextEdit, it's encrypted).
But I wonder if it's possible to use a unix command that concatenates the two Form Value files on each Mac into one? If you want to try this make sure you keep a back up of each original Form Value file belonging to each Mac before messing about. Safari should be closed too.
Copy both files onto a single Desktop, you'll need to name them uniquely, say FormValues1 and FormValues2 (note no spaces) then type this command in Terminal (Applications/Utilities):
cat ~/Desktop/FormValues2 >> ~/Desktop/FormValues1
Then rename FormValues1 back to the original name of Form Values and move it back into the correct folder:
/Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
I expect you'll have duplicate values in that file now and I've no idea how Safari will handle this scenario, maybe it will clean up but so long as you keep a copy of the original Form Values files you can restore the status quo afterwards. Good luck.
