The Mac App Store version of 1Password

I've installed the Mac App Store version of 1Password.


In their site , 1Password developer recommend installing a Script , See link !!


Mac App Store guidelines prevent the autosubmit script from being included with Mac App Store versions/updates of 1Password.


Do you recommend installing the script even if I don't have any issues ?


Thanks

You are using the developer's product, why would you be leery of adding something to their product that they are recommending? I would run the script.


I use 1Password. I own the Mac App Store version, but I am a seed tester for them and running test versions that come directly from the developers. I have no reason to mistrust these guys. They develop an excellent app.

It's my mistake that I didn't publish my full trust in agilebits - 1password developer.

This app is one of my favorite and I use it regularly.

All good.

But, I trust ( in another word depend ) more on Apple ,

If this script is harmless , why Apple doesn't includ it in their version ?

Or I don't fully understand the basic here.

Hello ronenhaim,


I am one of the developers of 1Password. It is a good idea to be paranoid when it comes to security.


Let me tell you more about the script.


All applications in the Mac App Store must be sandboxed and the don't have access to your system unless you explicitly grant the access. The ~/Library/Application Scripts folder is one of the ways of explicitly granting the access to sandboxed applications.


If you look at the installed script (~/Library/Application Scripts/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword-osx-helper/1Password_Autosubmit.sc pt), it consists of a single line:


tell application "System Events" to keystroke return


Running this script will send a Return key code to the web browser.


Why is this script needed?


The 1Password browser extension fills the username and password values on web pages. After the values are filled, the web form could be submitted. In the past we tried different methods of submitting the form. Unfortunately, none of the options available to the browser extension running in JavaScript is reliable enough. For example, calling form.submit in JavaScript is not working on pages where additional logic is performed when one of the form buttons is clicked.


Sending the Return key to the form turned out to be the most reliable way of submitting the web form and this is what the script does.


I hope this answers your question.
