Is there a way to auto authenticate with *.mydomain.com?

ahindi

I hit several times that have contact loaded from different urls but all from the same domain. Is there a way to auto authenticate with *.mydomain.com? If www.mydomain.com pulls content/frames from a.mydomain.com and c.mydomain.com and z.mydomain.com... I just want to authenticate seamlessly

Howdy @ahindi,

The 1Password Extension does indeed have support for subdomain wildcarding. The option is called Lenient URL matching. By default, this option is disabled, which means that only the subdomain you save a login for will use that login in the browser.

Here's how it works when enabled:

Visiting mail.google.com or accounts.google.com or any subdomain on google.com will match all of your google.com Logins. Any google.com Logins marked as Favorites will appear at the top, followed by the rest of the matching Logins, listed alphabetically.

You can read more about the feature in the 1Password 5 for Mac user manual. To enable it, simply head to Preferences > Browser and check the box beside Lenient URL matching.

Let us know how everything goes. :)

So i enabled Lenient (1P v5) and it still does not seems to be working in Chrome/FireFox/Safari. I keep getting authentication popups from a.mydomain.com and b.mydomain.com and every *.mydomain.com... I thought turning on Lenient would make the auth-popups go away?1? Am i not doing something right?

@ahindi: No, that's something else entirely. Old-fashioned HTTPauth prompts are from the website, not from 1Password. And since these are outside of the webpage itself, 1Password can't even interact with them:

How do I fill HTTP Authentication popup windows?

Lenient URL Matching means that 1Password will offer you a Login for TLD.com if you're at SBD.TLD.com, but it can't help you with modal HTTPauth prompts that lock the browser.
