Update a 1Password Login in 4 Easy Steps
We are big fans of 1Password at Blue Mango. If you are a Mac owner then it really is a "must have" utility. It makes keeping track of all of your logins between multiple online accounts super easy. 1Password stores your logins for websites that you frequent.
But sometimes I run into the situation where 1Password has stored a form and now I want to change the values that it is going to auto submit. This most often happens when 1Password hasn’t saved the "remember me" setting on a form. Each time I login with 1Password it will leave the "remember me" box unchecked which means I have to login more often. Here is how to update your login so that it will check the "remember me" box. You can use this same technique to update any aspect of the form.
These instructions will only work if you have the 1Password browser button installed.
Deactivate “Autosubmit Logins”
I am using the 1Password button. Just make sure Autosubmit Logins is unchecked.
Fill In Form
Just the button to fill in your form.
You can see that the Remember me button isn’t checked.
Check Button and Save
Check the button and then select Save Login… from the 1Password button.
Save
Change the action to Replace … (1) and then click Save. You can now use 1Password to login with the updated form values.
Optional – Reactivate “Autosubmit Logins”
You can now turn Autosubmit Logins back on. Yeah, I know that is actually five steps, but since it’s optional we won’t count it
