Peterpanm, does Windows maybe have some encrypted path to ‘paste’ into any entry box? I don’t know, but I suppose it’s possible there is a more secure way on Windows. I was incorrect above when I said it couldn’t do multiple paths to Dropbox. and, incidentally, though all this research and struggling, figured out how to do what I needed with it. Yes, the absolutely means I need to stick with what I’ve got. I just see auto-type as a core feature (which I was shocked was missing from an app I’ve heard so much good about!) and started searching the support forums. Jpgoldberg, no, the confusion wasn’t between the Windows and OSX versions, as I didn’t know there was any feature disparity until I looked into this. so I'd have to use WiFi or WebDav for home, if I want to use Dropbox to sync to a workgroup, as I can only point to one dropbox area). I guess we'll just stick with PasswordWallet for now, as I've figured out how to do the sync pretty well (it's just more convoluted to setup, and can't have individual paths into a sync-destination. Only supporting certain apps, at least for me, somewhat defeats the purpose of having a password manager. That's plenty secure enough for me (include a disclaimer maybe so people know). PasswordWallet auto-types, then clears the clipboards, from what I understand. So, it seems that unless they are ONLY going to support certain browsers and a few apps, some kind of compromise needs to be made. though SO DO copy/paste manually or showing your password (rather than bullets) so you can manually enter it. Hi JasperP, Yes, I understand sjk's comment about security issues with the kind of method peterpanm indicated, and I suppose most kinds of auto-type methods would suffer from the same. If you get both in order, you'll be the only game in town. but you're being killed on basic functionality and workflow. You guys have killer features and a really nice looking app. For example, in PasswordWallet, I can fill in a URL, or pick an app via a Finder dialog, which PasswordWallet will then launch. Also, some flexibility in the 'URL' ability would be great so other apps could be called. It would be best if it were a true auto-type where the sequence can be programmed in, such as: field1 (tab key) field2 (tab key) etc. PLEASE bring this to the Mac version as well. that you were thinking about it and it being available on Windows. So, then I started to search the forum here, and find stuff talking about this way back at the beginning of LAST YEAR. Anyway, we can't make a move until auto-type is working. I was almost about to do it anyway (and just put up with copy/paste), but after talking to a couple of my business partners, they said NO! There are places where copy/paste don't work, which is true. but if I can't use it half the time, it is a major productivity hit. 1Password now seems to have a GREAT setup for this via Dropbox. The problem has become that the 'sync' setup for PasswordWallet doesn't seem flexible enough to work personally, within the home, and between external business partners. I'm considering switching from PasswordWallet, which has had this pretty much forever (and I've been using it from my Palm days). It's simply a no-go without this, as awesome as 1Password seems to be in most other regards. (I was kind of wondering why all the browser plug-in stuff, etc.) Since I actually use my password management for EVERYTHING, it has to work beyond the browser (terminal windows, remote logins, etc.). Hello, I downloaded the demo, and was just about to 'pull the trigger' when I realized there was no auto-type feature for 1Password.
