I’ve been having a very nasty problem using Safari 5.1 with the latest 1Password software, while other browsers like Chrome and Firefox work just fine. I get a red ‘Problem with database’ message that says “Database error: no such column: overview_key”. It looks something like this:
Here’s how I fixed it
Start Safari, go to Safari / Preferences… / Extensions, and remove the 1Password extension if you have it. Close Safari. Re-open Safari. Close Safari using the magical sequence Command-Option-Q. Re-open Safari. Open 1Password and use it’s preferences panel to reinstall the Safari extension. Go back to Safari, and if you’re as lucky as I was, it’ll work.
I’ve got 1Password, but it can’t displace PasswordWallet. Password Wallet is a bit clunkier in terms of its interface, but it has an iPhone / iPad app as well as an all-Javascript export that you could stick on a web page somewhere in case of emergencies. I have my passwords all over (my phones, my iPad, my computers, etc.) and they’re all in sync. 1Password didn’t seem to do that for me. I’ve also never had this issue, so this gives me even less incentive to use it.
@Paco – 1Password also has iPhone/iPad apps, and they all stay in perfect sync. In fact, they stay in perfect sync across all of my computers, both home and work. (1Password can use Dropbox to store the database, so any device you use can share the same db.)
The current issue with Safari is because of a change in 5.1, and I’m fairly certain it’ll be fixed soon.
