AppleID issue

wkleem

I had an issue with AppleID earlier. I had to change a passcode but the AppleID site wouldn't allow me to confirm the password (no fill, no paste) from within iOS 8.3. I was attempting to create a new Login from 1Password 5.4. I had to type it in manually.

This looks very similar to what is just being discussed in this thread on the 1P for Mac forum.

Thanks for the update Stephen. I haven't tested if Chrome exhibits the same issue.

Hi

I managed to try it out on Chrome and it doesn't exhibit the issue that's affecting Safari.

However, I noticed that Chrome is unable to create a new Login from within the browser but Safari can. Is this by design?

Are we talking about OS X now or still on iOS?

If we're on iOS then Chrome does not have the ability to create a new login.

It's on iOS. Thanks.

I am not sure if this is what you are talking about, but on some websites that will not allow you to paste you can try this.
Manual type any character into space you would like to paste then backspace over that and it then might allow you to paste. Again this only works on some websites.

Good tip! Thanks kunder. :)

Why are these sites making it harder to use great passwords?

Careful @prime, the answer to that sort of loaded question may cause madness :wink:

Honestly I don't know and it drives me daft when I come across them. Sites where they place password size limits, odd restrictions on the allowable character set or login processes seemingly designed to force typing where the likely outcome is poorer password choices being made. All we can hope is eventually companies start realising this is bad.

I cancelled an account with one site in particular after I realised their entire login process was over http :(

It is annoying. My ISP for a long time had http webmail and additionally limited passwords to 8 characters. It's what was given at signup and nobody bothered to updated it.

Lovely :|

That has to be one of the more appalling ones I've heard of and terrible in this day in age. There isn't a password generator I've come across that won't frown at those sort of limits.
