Stuff that doesn’t have a login. I use it for Signal and Cryptomator, bot are apps I use that just have a password, but no URL or login info. It’s also a back up for when you make a new login also. It will always save to that in case something goes wrong.

@prime I just started using Cryptomator. Are you aware of a way to autofill this password on the Cryptomator Mac app, while unlocking vaults? I have been copy-pasting so far, but would like avoid that.

It’s not very safe, but I think you can automate this using Keyboard Maestro.

@arunsathiya: I'd suggest using drag and drop from 1Password mini. Unless they're doing something weird with their login fields that should work. :)

@prime - I'd echo what brenty said -- you can drag/drop from major fields in 1Password items in the mini directly into any other fields in any apps that don't actively prevent such things. I've no idea whether Cryptomator in particular allows this, but it would be easy enough to test, and -- when done that way -- the password you're dragging doesn't hit the macOS system clipboard. It's much more secure than anything involving traditional copy/paste.

@prime No problem!
@brenty @lars good points! I was not able to get it working. For some additional clarity, I am not talking about Cryptomator website, but the Cryptomator desktop apps on Mac and Windows. When I drag-drop the password from 1Password Mini (TIL something like that exists!) to Cryptomator's password field, the password doesn't get pasted. It's probably the Cryptomator app misbehaving; for now, I am able to copy-paste from 1Password to the Cryptomator app. ✅

Ah, indeed it sounds like they're doing something strange with their password fields then. Sorry that drag and drop didn't work, but glad you were able to work around it. Thanks for letting us know!

I've found several uses for the Passwords category:
- Password-protected Word documents and Excel spreadsheets
- PINs for garage door opener, Samsung Pay on my Samsung watch, and a couple other misc PINs
- Thumb drive encryption password
- University-issued digital certificate password
- Ancient Truecrypt password (don't think it's still in use, but just in case I stumble across something). Same for PGP.
