1Password for Mac is Not Scriptable!

@appleianer , I thanks you for your most generous offer. I will certainly DM you once I get Keyboard Maestro up and running.

Much appreciated.

1P_Tommy 😉

Joelc please contact me and you will get the autofill macro with video instructions on how to set it up.
Best you write me then a DM in the Keybaord Maestro forum. There you can also find me under the nickname: @appleianer

Please note that you need to add these two programs in System Preferences - Accessibility so that you can work with AppleScript and System Events (shortcuts) in Keybaord Maestro.

fwiw I am also in my 50's although a bit younger than @appleianer ;) I started a few years ago as well. It can be very powerful indeed. I would not say it is overly hard. As with anything new, just give yourself some time. I still remember getting started with 1Password 2 over 14 years ago. :chuffed:

@appleianer , alright, I will give it a try, I hope that I can get it to work but I am sceptical! I might reach out to you for some help!

PS. I am older than you!

Joelc I am 52 years old and have only started 4 years ago to deal with automation, due to the purchase of Keybaord Maestro.
I know almost no English (DeepL online translator 😉) and have created hundreds of macros so far.

At the beginning it looks complicated. There is a very good forum with many helpful users

https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com

@appleianer , I took a quick look at the Keyboard Maestro help document and it does look rather complicated not the sort of point and click software I was hoping for.

Even looking at the script that you posted above it is not obvious / simple to get it to work. What am I missing?

How steep would you say the warning curve is for someone who has never used it?

Thanks.

1P_Tommy & Joelc if you want the autofill login macro I will be happy to give it to you.
Since Keybaord Maestro provides a trial version, you can always try it out.

One more tip:
Since I don't have Mac's with Touch ID, I also use a macro for quick authendification.

The login is then a little faster. The password then comes from the macOS keychain. This can be used just as securely as 1Password.

@appleianer, I will definitely be looking into this.

Much thanks.

Joel

I need to look into this more for my personal use. Thanks for sharing @appleianer Sounds very interesting indeed.

Joelc the AppleScript in the macro is quite simple, since basically only the 1Password shortcuts are executed there.
I had the problem of having the AppleScript pause until I would have entered the master password on a locked 1Password Mini.

Keyboard Maestro is a very powerful automation tool. I highly recommend it.
Launch 7 apps; position windows, unlock app etc. and still define if this workflow should be done after starting the Mac's, logging into a specific wifi, maybe connecting a USB device, time based, or simply after entering a shortcut. All without complex scripts. Macro actions already exist for this.

As already written, I have very little script knowledge, but I created this automation with Keyboard Maestro:

(1) Autofill login
(2) Pushover notification about Autofill login
(3) Button in Pushover notification triggers a Siri shortcut (via iCloud Drive) that takes a snapshot via FaceTime Camera.
(4) Pushover notification again with the FaceTime Camera image.
(5) If stranger, then I can lock my keyboard via another Siri shortcut and play a loud shrill alarm sound.

Thanks to Keybaord Maestro, this also works when someone wakes up the Mac from sleep mode. Has already provided for some scare seconds in the office.
Since no one touches my MBP anymore 😉

Here is a very further example with Keyboard Maestro, how I edit templates in ScreenFlow without using shortcuts or cumbersome clicking with the mouse, with only one touch gesture (https://folivora.ai).
