Universal Autofill and Mac encrypted disk images
Hi,
I see discussions around this issue, but wondering if it has been addressed yet.
I use encrypted disk images in my Mac to secure sensitive information. Using the Mac Keychain Access to store and fill them is no longer a viable solution for me. It used to be that I could create another custom keychain in Keychain Access with separate lock options and a different password than my Mac Login password. But now there is an "iCloud" keychain that as soon as I unlock and use my separate security keychain, the Mac copies the super secret disk image password into this low security iCloud keychain that is always unlocked if I am logged into my user account. I tried disabling iCloud Keychain in my user settings, but then it changes the name of this low security keychain to "Local Items" and again will copy and store any disk image password that I allow the Mac to fill from the high security keychain.
I was hoping to use 1Password to autofill my various encrypted disk image passwords, protected by my more secure 1Password master password, that is not always unlocked. But I have not yet been able to figure out how to make that work. Last round of this question from someone was over a year ago. Has there been any development that would allow me to autofill from 1Password? This would allow me to delete the high security keychain that is not really high security anymore if all its contents get copied.
