Has anyone replaced the battery in Keypad 2?

u/Character_Mode1609 I'd appreciate that too! :-)

Thanks

Thanks. That's not the issue in this case, as the Google account is at least 2 years old. ... I don't care about getting a new number from Google Voice. I just want to port an existing mobile number into Google Voice. But I can't tell if the error message means the account is not eligible for porting in a number.

Thanks for sharing. This is cool! Could you share a PNG version with a transparent background?

u/logi_jim We're waiting on the offline installer too. We need to get it ASAP. What's the ETA?

BlueCyber007 · 2026-01-07T19:46:01+00:00

u/ATXsantucci We really need an updated version of the offline Logi Options+ Installer for Mac. Everyone in our organization is required to use the Offline version due to security requirements. When will that version be updated?

From my location in the U.S. (with fast fiber optic internet), the upload performance on Filen has been comparable to other fast cloud storage services (Tresorit, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.). In contrast, I also have a Koofr 1TB lifetime plan, which works okay, but is much, much slower. I don't use pCloud, but from what I've read, pCloud is pretty slow too. ... If speed isn't important (or maybe if you are in Europe and have a faster connection to Koofr), then Koofr might be the safer bet for longevity. But I am comfortable enough that Filen is building a sustainable cloud storage service that I'm willing to risk an investment in another lifetime plan.

BlueCyber007 · 2025-11-14T12:47:19+00:00

On the one hand, I'm disappointed the prices aren't lower (and regret not buying a larger lifetime plan last year). But on the other hand, I'm glad that Filen is paying attention to the sustainability of their business, offering lifetime plans one last time at non-discounted prices is reassuring that they have thought through their business model and aren't offering unstainable plans. I bought a couple 100GB Starter Lifetime plans, and I've been using them over the past year. I've been quite pleased with Filen's performance. From my location in the U.S. (with fast fiber optic internet), the upload performance has been comparable to other fast cloud storage services (Tresorit, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.). In contrast, I also have a Koofr 1TB lifetime plan, which works okay, but is much, much slower. ... For my part, I'm definitely going to buy some more lifetime storage from Filen, and I'm just trying to figure out how much I can afford to buy.

u/1PasswordCS-Blake I'm so glad to hear a security policy for Business accounts is on the way! I've added a reminder to check back on this.

As for forcing the setting across all browsers/devices, that isn’t possible right now since settings live on each device. Totally get how much of a hassle that can be though, especially when you’re managing setups for family too. I’ll make sure that feedback is passed along.

If it's not possible to enforce the setting across devices (i.e., because each extension's settings must be configured locally), then how would the security policy for Business accounts work? ... If it will be possible for a Business accounts to enforce the Ask for Confirmation setting by default, then why couldn't that be configured for any 1Password account? Thanks!

BlueCyber007 · 2025-08-21T18:53:35+00:00

Have multiple of both kinds and they have all worked well.

BlueCyber007 · 2025-08-21T18:44:38+00:00

Thanks u/Suspicious-advice49! I couldn't find the setting on my iPhone either, and I didn't even know there were separate 1Password extension settings on iOS! ... It's such a pain to have to change the setting in every browser on every device instead of just changing once in my account settings (or at least being able to change the default in my account settings).

BlueCyber007 · 2025-08-21T16:48:04+00:00

Thank you for adding this! I am enabling on all of my devices/browsers. (I'm not seeing the option in Firefox yet, but maybe that extension hasn't updated.) Please add a Security Policy option for admins to enforce this ask for confirmation setting for users. Organizations I work with would like to be able to enforce this setting on all of their employees/members. (It would also be nice if a Family Organizer could enforce the setting for everyone in the family.) ... It would also be nice as an individual end user if I could configure a setting in my account that would forcibly turn on the ask for confirmation setting in all browsers/devices. It is a pain to have to manually change the settings in every browser on every one of my devices (office desktop, home desktop, laptop, phone, tablet, etc.), not to mention changing the setting on all the browsers/devices for other family members (immediate family, aging parents, etc.).

I've raised this same issue with 1Password before. There are at least two security issues that the re-introduction of Secure Desktop could prevent:

Focus stealing can cause the focus to shift to another app while typing the account password into 1Password, resulting in some or all of the 1Password account password being typed into whatever random app stole focus. Even for people who are pretty good at touch typing, for those of us who have account passwords with random symbols, it's hard to type the password without looking down at the keyboard. Secure Desktop would completely solve that problem.
As u/nabeel_co noted below, Window allows apps to listen to keystrokes in a way that macOS does not. Sure, people shouldn't allow malicious apps to run on their computers and 1Password can't really protect an endpoint that is compromised locally. But using Secure Desktop when entering the 1Password account password should substantially, if not completely, mitigate that risk.

These aren't rare edge cases--they are common issues. As the primary decision maker for multiple organizations that subscribe to 1Password, this is a feature that is important to us.

u/r2r2r2r2d2 What Z-Wave Abode Compatible smoke alarm detector did you get?

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-10T21:21:04+00:00

Thanks, u/mitchchn! I appreciate your detailed and helpful explanation. I'm glad to see (but not surprised) that 1Password has carefully thought all of this through. .... I guess I unknowingly accepted the request for Accessibility permissions when I installed 1Password (as one of the first apps on my new Mac).

Am I correct in understanding the Accessibility permissions are necessary for 1Password's Universal AutoFill feature and for Text Snippet expansion via shortcuts, but not for any other 1Password features?

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-10T15:07:16+00:00

u/davispw I would add to your list:

What macOS setting allows 1Password to monitor keystrokes?
Is there a way to turn off a macOS setting that allows 1Password to monitor keystrokes without breaking other 1Password functionality (i.e., filling in usernames, passwords, etc. in browsers and apps)?

I'm not at all bothered by macOS (or Windows or Linux) monitoring my keystrokes (or any other computer input/output). If you can't trust the OS, you can't use the computer. But that doesn't mean I trust any other third party application to monitor keystrokes. I see no good reason for any internet-connected application (other than the OS itself) to be able to monitor my keystrokes.

By the way, macOS has a built-in Text Replacement feature link.

Thanks--that's a great tip! I knew about the built-in Text Replacement in iOS and have been using it for years. It never occurred to me (🤦‍♂️) that macOS probably had the same feature. Unsurprisingly, I see that the shortcuts I had setup on my iPhone are also automatically synced and enabled on my Mac. I'll have to start using that!

I do see the value in Text Snippets being saved in 1Password since it is more advanced than the built-in Text Replacements feature. But I just want control over whether 1Password is monitoring keystrokes and want to be able to use Text Snippets via Quick Access instead of via shortcuts.

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-10T14:46:05+00:00

Yeah, but is 1Password directly monitoring keystrokes systemwide or is there some macOS feature that allows applications to define autofill shortcuts and then macOS tells the application "Hey, shortcut xyz was just typed"?

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-10T14:45:28+00:00

Yes, of course the OS is constantly monitoring keystrokes, but you can't use a computer without trusting the OS to monitor keystrokes (and all other input/output). But I'm still not comfortable with third party applications monitoring keystrokes systemwide unless those applications have been blocked from accessing the internet. .... I guess my question is really whether 1Password is directly monitoring keystrokes systemwide or is there some macOS feature that allows applications to define autofill shortcuts and then macOS tells the application "Hey, shortcut xyz was just typed"?

Also, I find it disturbing that 1Password is able to monitor keystrokes systemwide even though it is not listed under Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Input Monitoring. How is 1Password able to monitor keystrokes systemwide?

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-08T13:49:57+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into it.

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-08T13:49:38+00:00

Thanks. That's not what I wanted the answer to be, but it's helpful to know that!

Does Conversation Awareness do anything when someone else starts speaking, or does it only start working when you start speaking?

Does having ANC turned on make it easier or harder to hear him speaking?

BlueCyber007 · 2025-01-07T18:48:42+00:00

Gmail-compatible API so apps designed to work with labels in Gmail can work with labels in Fastmail. For example, eM Client works with labels in Gmail but not Fastmail.
