After weeks of dealing with Firefox running like a pile of hot garbage on both of my Macs, I made the jump over to the Safari 4 Beta as soon as word of it broke this morning. All was well until I went to go log in to pay my gas bill, when I suddenly realized that I had no idea what the passwords were for my less frequently used services. 1password keeps track of all that junk for me, and suddenly 1password was no where to be found. I was alone. Fortunately, it’s a pretty easy fix.
Update: 1password now has a Safari 4 compatible version up on their Beta servers, so you have two options. If you’d rather stick with your current version, follow the steps below. If you don’t mind double-dipping in Beta territory, just go enable Beta downloads in 1password (Preferences » Updates, hit “Include Beta Versions”) and then click the “Check Now” button.
How to enable 1password in the Safari 4 Beta:
- Close Safari
- Go to the /Applications/ folder
- Right click on 1password.app, hit “Show Package Contents”
- Navigate to /Contents/Resources/
- Double click on SupportedBrowsers.plist. If you have Apple’s development tools installed, it’ll open in the Plist editor. If not, it’ll open in plaintext.
- If you’re using the Plist editor, expand the “Safari” drop-down (Just click the little arrow beside Safari).
- Look for the MaxBundleVersion key with a value of 5528.1 – change it to 5528.16. Save.
- Open Safari
You can now use 1password via the right click menu in Safari Beta 4. If you want to add the 1password button to your toolbar, go to View > Customize Toolbar in Safari and drag it over. Enjoy easy access to all of your junk!

Does this really deserve a post?
Greg needs to be paid, right ?
Heck yeah! He’s rolling in the 1password dough. He just bought a gold tooth.
Pft, whatever.

Seeing as how it’s just about the first question everyone who installs Safari 4 asks, yes.
Oh, and for the sake of standards, here’s the usual response:
I’m sorry that you’ve configured your browser or RSS reader to force you to read every single post in its entirety before proceeding to the next, regardless of whether it personally interests you. You might consider disabling this feature, so you may proceed to enjoy the internet as intended.

hahha, u merked him greg man, well done
That is a good response. Though, on the other hand, you guys are writing like 40 posts a day. I go away for a weekend, and it takes me an hour to catch up on what I’ve missed! Maybe you guys could build some custom RSS feeds that users can pick and choose from (i.e. startups, deadpools, crunchgear previews, etc.) instead of having one MASSIVE RSS FEED for everyone. It’s too much!!!
We’ve actually just released 1Password 2.9.9 Beta 10 which adds support for the Safari 4 beta.
You can get this update by selecting Check for Updates on the 1Password menu of the main 1Password application as shown here:

In order to get beta updates you’ll need to make sure that the “Include beta versions” option is enabled on the Updates preference pane in the main 1Password application preferences as shown here:

Cool… now how about minefield? :)
This is still not working for me. I have included “check for beta version” in my preferences; my version of 1password is 2.9.9 (build 7365); but when I go to the 1Password “Check for Updates”; it says I’m up to date. But it doesn’t appear that I am. How/where can I download this latest update Beta 10? It sounds like I should be navigating there automatically, but it’s not happening. What next?
Thanks,

From 1password on Twitter:
“My latest beta restores my Safari 4 integration. Preferences > Updates > enable betas then click Check Now to get v2.9.9 b10.”
Yep – just spotted that. Article has been updated accordingly.
What am I missing here. I just saw this:
“My latest beta restores my Safari 4 integration. Preferences > Updates > enable betas then click Check Now to get v2.9.9 b10.”
But when I try to get the latest update, I don’t see b10. How do I do this?
The guys at Agile are very agile. I’ve always appreciated their quick responses and top notch work.
Jamboree & others: a post about how to do this is always welcome. What’s the problem with having these?
Carl S.: Thanks for the quick response. My regards to the team.
I’m just curious, when I double click the SupportedBrowsers.plist it opens in TextEdit. Is there any way to get it to look like the screenshot?
If you have the Apple Dev Tools installed (Xcode, etc – it’s on the OS X Install disc) right click it, Open With, Property List Editor.
Thanks!
I prefer Passpack. It works everywhere
Ohhhh thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve just installed Safari 4 and I was puzzled as 1Password is not present.
Thanks so much!!!
It actually doesn’t work. I did exactely as you said but nothing has changed.
And yes, I did close Safari before doing the operation.
Nothing…
Ok, saw there is a new 1Password beta out. Just got it! :p
Hey Agile:
My Dell laptop is a piece of human doo-doo. Do you have a fix for it?
Hey Agile:
Do you charge for Tech Support if I call your number? Is it free if I post it on SupportCrunch…I mean, TechCrunch?
I have done the update (including Beta), restarted everything, but do not see the 1password icon in Safari? Have i missed a step? Tks
My apologies, seems that the primary download site is not working and I was mistaken about it having installed. It works fine.
Thanks for the post, it was the first question I had when installed Safari 4 Beta :)
PC + BlackBerry + Outlook. It just works.
Thanks Greg! I just downloaded the Beta last night and realized that I didn’t have 1Password any more. This helps out a ton!
Just an update. The official 2.9.9 non-beta has been released and supports Safari 4 beta without the need to enable betas in your check for updates preferences in 1Password.

I see this stuff about 1password all the time, but what’s wrong with using Apple’s Keychain? I use Keychain and it works just fine.
These password savers are cool but I avoid building too much of a reliance since I user a lot of different computers and services/sites. Plus you have to consider the security issues of having often critical passwords/data accessible. Checking This site is probably a wise idea.
Thanks for the info… my husband installed the beta last night and this morning I found no 1P button in Safari… My husband will thank you, too, in 2 hours for the extra sleep he is getting since I didn’t have to wake him up. Cheers!
Have safari 4 running, but cannot get the latest Glims loaded, it appears in safari preference pane, but not in google etc toolbar, which negates its purpose. Any advice. I managed to get 1password working but glims has to-date got the better of me and I fear the men in white coats.
I followed all the directions and had 1password on my toolbar but the next day..gone. I checked the max bundle version and it’s the correct number. Any ideas what happened?
I also followed all the directions and it didn’t work. Today I installed the oficial Safari 4 version but 1Password still doesn’t show. It doesn’t appear on Safari Preferences or the whole system preferences …
Just use 5530.17 instead. :)
That’s the code for the official safari 4.
Alex.
Dude, you rock! Just upgraded to Safari 4 and was worried that I was screwed.
Thank you.
