Exporting the 1PasswordAnywhere files

Captain

Is it possible to use 1PasswordAnywhere from a flash drive, without having to change my syncing options to Dropbox? I don't mind manually re-exporting; I just would like to access my passwords from a work computer where Dropbox is prohibited, with the security of the agilekeychain format and convenience of the HTML interface. It would be cool if you could just run the HTML interface locally.

Hi @Captain,

You can use 1PasswordAnywhere with Safari and Chrome for read-only access to 1Password data in an Agile Keychain (.agilekeychain) stored on a flash drive and other "offline" locations. It's completely independent of 1Password applications; no syncing (re)configuration is required.

For Safari, you may first need to enable the Disable Local File Restrictions option:

• 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

For Chrome, the --allow-file-access-from-files command line startup option is used.

Then you open the keychain's 1Password.html file with either browser.

Here's an example of a single Terminal command for doing this with Chrome:

open -a 'Google Chrome' --args --allow-file-access-from-files ~/Documents/1Password.agilekeychain/1Password.html

Similarly, with Safari, after Disable Local File Restrictions is enabled:

open -a Safari ~/Documents/1Password.agilekeychain/1Password.html

We're currently not aware of a way to work around local file restrictions in Firefox or Opera.

It would be cool if you could just run the HTML interface locally.

I hope the previous information is cool enough to help you do that. :)
