Re: Import Safari password keychain logins to 1Password

Hello,

1. How do I sync/import/copy the keychain logins to 1Password
   so I do not have to do all the logins one by one?

2. How do I activate or apply your “passwordAnywhere” for all my
   login sites for my iMac desktop only?

Here’s to hoping it can be done

Thank you

Hi @glow259,

How do I sync/import/copy the keychain logins to 1Password so I do not have to do all the logins one by one?

I'd recommend trying MrC's script to import the data from OS X's keychain here, @MrC is our awesome community moderator who will love to help you import your data.

How do I activate or apply your “passwordAnywhere” for all my login sites for my iMac desktop only?

Do you mean 1PasswordAnywhere? If you have 1Password installed on the iMac, you should only use the browser extensions, not 1PasswordAnywhere. This guide will explain how you can use the browser extensions for your Logins. There is a note that will explain how to disable Safari's built-in password manager to ensure only 1Password will handle filling/saving in your browser.

Thank you MikeT . . .

I decided to go over my 2-year-old keychain which started from mac mini (later2012) in 2013 [ I now have iMac purchased this past May]. I found that 12% of my keychain is not working anymore due to changes. . . and even samsung switched to a "3rd party" sign in. (?) I'm not familiar with the 3rd party so I'm skeptic. I did all my 1Password logins manually instead.

It took 3 days of available free time and I was able to login to all my sites and have 1Password save each one of them. I also discovered that all I need to do is click the assigned 1Password login twice to accommodate 2-stage logins on some that have intricate entries.

Hi @glow259,

That certainly sounds like a lot of work, but I'm glad you were able to save all your logins in 1Password! In the long run, I think it's better to do it that way (that's what I did years ago when I started using 1Password). It's also good because it helped you figure out which website logins still work and which don't.

I really hope you'll enjoy 1Password! If you have more questions or need help with anything, just let us know. :)

I have 500 passwords and 110 system passwords for different routers in my keychain. I really don't want to re-key them. Ho can I do a clean migrate?

Hi @bahanx1 ,

The 1Password converters, as mentioned above, will do the job.

Thanks Sir. Much appreciated.

Also, I got a 1P_import.1pif after the following:

********* cd desktop/convert_to_1p4
*********:convert_to_1p4 ********perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl Keychain -v ../convert_to_1p4

********:convert_to_1p4 ********$

But, the 1pif file contains nothing. A 0 byte file on the desktop.

I tried everything in the manual. checked the spelling. tried sudo su.

I am using macbook pro, el capitan

Please tell me where I am going wrong?

Please Help I have tried this for hours.

Hi @bahanx1,

Sorry for the delay - I was away from the computer.

What is the name of your exported keychain data file? I can't tell from the command you've tried:

 perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl Keychain -v ../convert_to_1p4

The README advises you name the file "pm_export.txt", and place it onto your Desktop. Did you export your keychain data?

It seems you are trying say that the file's name is "../convert_to_1p4", but is that what you actually named it?

The errors you are seeing are because the command is not specifying the name of the file you created.

It also appears you are running as ROOT, a very bad idea, and ROOT's home directory of /var/root does not have a Desktop folder. Run the command as your non-root user.

I made the changes, it seems to work but I get this:

L*******:convert_to_1p4 r*******$ perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl Keychain -v ../pm_export.txt
Keychain parse failed, after entry 0; unexpected:

MrC

@bahanx1

How did you generate that pm_export.txt file?

MrC

@bahanx1 ,

I just checked that it works for me on El Capitan:

$ security dump-keychain -d login.keychain > ~/Desktop/pm_export.txt
$ perl convert_to_1p4.pl keychain ~/Desktop/pm_export.txt  -v
Examined 152 records

You may now import the file /Users/MrC/Desktop/1P_import.1pif into 1Password
