1PasswordAnywhere not working (problem loading 1Password data file)

Domi

1Password anywhere doesn´t work.

It does now, as of about an hour or so ago.

@hawkmoth‌ what do you mean?

The problem with 1PasswordAnywhere that was created about a week ago by a change in how Dropbox works was fixed late today, so it now works. You do have to get access to it though a web browser and from the Dropbox web site. But that was always true. So maybe I misunderstood. Are you trying to access it that way?

Domi

Yes via USB drive

As far as I know, the only way to get access is to go to the Dropbox web site, find the HTML file, and click on that.

Hi @Domi,

You'll need to disable Safari's local file restrictions:

• Open Safari
• Click Safari > Preferences... in the menu bar
• Go to the Advanced tab
• Ensure Show Develop menu in menu bar is checked
• Click Develop in the menu bar, then Disable Local File Restrictions

Does that help? :)

@JasperP‌ Yes it works. But I m not sure if its will work with other browser, too. My intention is to have a travel usb stick with 1Password.

If you need offline access to 1PasswordAnywhere in Chrome, you will need to modify Chrome’s settings using this command line option: --allow-file-access-from-files

At this time, we are not aware of a way to work around local file restrictions in Firefox. You'll need to use Safari or Chrome.
