Error on Mojave / 1Password 7 7.1.BETA-3: execution error: osascript not allowed to send keystrokes

DanEpsPA

When I double click to fill in a password, I get the following message, yet it fills in my password:

The operation couldn’t be completed. /Users/dan/Library/Application Scripts/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword7-helper/1Password_Autosubmit.scpt:143:159: execution error: System Events got an error: osascript is not allowed to send keystrokes. (1002)

Any suggestions? Thanks

@DanEpsPA: I've moved you to the beta category. This error will go away because the autosubmit script is going away. I'm sorry for the inconvenience in the mean time. You can disable it now in Preferences > Browsers.

Why is the autosubmit going away? I love the feature?

DanEpsPA

brenty, can you elaborate? There is no autosubmit script disable in Preferences > Browsers. I think I disabled the right one (automatically sign in ....) after trial and error but the error message was so cryptic (and your answer also) that it took a few tries and I'm not sure whether it is really disabled.

@DanEpsPA: Sorry for not being clearer. Indeed, "Automatically sign in after filling usernames and passwords" is the option you're looking for:

It use to just be called "Autosubmit". I guess old habits die hard. :) Disabling that will avoid the error.

Thats not quite a solution but rather a workaround. I prefer I don't have to press enter everytime...

@jerrixbe: As indicated by the error message, it's not going to be permitted to send keystrokes going forward. So autosubmit has to go away. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I can't argue with the fact that even though 1this is something you'd want 1Password to be able to do that leaves the door open for malicious use of this ability as well. We go to a lot of trouble though to have 1Password leaves focus in the password field after filling, so in the vast majority of cases you can simply press Return to submit the form. That's all the script was doing anyway.

Thanks for clarification. I've disabled the checkbox.

Sure thing! Again, I'm sorry for being a bit vague earlier. Thank you for asking. :chuffed:

Just a heads-up...in Mojave (probably previous versions as well!), you can just give Accessibility Access to Script Editor and it doesn't throw the error anymore.

AGAlumB

It's not something that I'd recommend since Apple will just be locking things down further going forward, but if that works for you now there's no harm. :)
