@MrC I've been using the Converter Suite to import Safari Keychain items and it's been incredibly helpful. Thank you!!

I've recently run into an issue where Safari 13 keeps auto locking while the script is gathering info. For some reason it thinks there's no activity going on in the window. Luckily they had another computer running Safari 11 so I was able to sync the keychain there and do the conversion.

Was this a fluke, or is Safari 13 not compatible with the Safari 12 import script?

Thanks so much!

    Thanks for the kind words. You're welcome.

    Safari 12 and up have a bug that inappropriately causes the passwords dialog to auto-lock while it is open. It will even close the dialog as you are typing or moving around.

    To avoid this bug, you have to quit Safari and let the GetSafari12Passwords open it anew.

    Ahh, OK. I'll try that again.

    To make sure I have the steps right:

    1. Open the script
    2. Grant permission in Sys Prefs
    3. Quit Safari
    4. Open script again which will prompt Safari to open and unlock the passwords dialog
    5. Click OK

    Following these steps will allow the script to finish without unlocking.

    Do I have this right?

    Thanks so much!

    The script can remain open, and you can re-run it as often as needed. It is Safari that needs to be quit before each run. So:

    1. Grant perms.
    2. Quit Safari.
    3. Open Script.
    4. Run Script.
    5. Run csv converter on the resulting CSV file if yo want to create a 1Password importable 1PIF file.
    6. Import 1PIF into 1Password.

    Please quit Safari and let the script open it for you. It's a bug in Safari.
