# Safari Logins Bookmarklet

1Password touch for iPhone and iPod touch is great for viewing and editing all your top secret information, and for syncing with 1Password for Mac. For read-only and low-security sites like social media and forum logins, it would be great to be able to login directly in Safari without launching 1Password. In 1Password 3, the Safari Logins Bookmarklet makes this possible.

## How to set up a Logins Bookmarklet

Step 1: Open 1Password 3 and click the gear menu in the lower left of the window. Choose “New Logins Bookmarklet”

Step 2: A new Logins Bookmarklet entry (sporting an iPhone Safari icon) appears in the left sidebar, under the Sync section. You must add an Access Code at the top of the screen. This code will be used to encrypt your information and unlock your bookmarklet when you use it. We recommend using a strong, hard-to-guess password, ideally different from your Master Password.

Step 3: Pick which Logins you want to sync, then press the Update Now button in the lower right to add your new Logins Bookmarklet to Safari on your Mac. Then, sync Safari on your Mac with Safari on your iPhone via either iTunes or MobileMe.

## How to Use a Logins Bookmarklet

Once the bookmarklet is on your device, you can easily use it from within Mobile Safari to log into your sites. Simply browse to one of your Login sites, choose your 1Password Login Bookmarklet from Safari’s bookmarks, type in the access code you added in Step 2, and tap the login you wish to use.

## Tips and Things To Know

- Login Bookmarklets are a one-way sync from 1Password to your device. You cannot edit your information in a Login Bookmarklet on your device like you can if it was stored in 1Password touch.
- While 1Password protects you from phishing scams by not allowing your logins to be used on malicious sites, Login Bookmarklets cannot protect you in this same way. We recommend using Login Bookmarklets for low-priority or low-security Logins.
- The Access Code for a Logins Bookmarklet is much like the Master Password you had to set to protect your 1Password information. It can be just about anything you want, though we recommend making it complex and not using your Master Password.
- You can create multiple Logins Bookmarklets, allowing you to use a weak Access Code (or none at all) on one Logins Bookmarklet for a group of low-security sites, and a second Logins Bookmarklet with a stronger password for more important information.
- You can purchase 1Password touch separately from the iTunes App Store for more features, including true, two-way syncing with 1Password on the Mac.
