1PasswordAnywhere [Should be fixed now on Dropbox.com: May 1st]

When attempting to open 1PasswordAnywhere ( 1Password.html ) from your 1Password folder on Dropbox an error occurs stating: A problem occurred when loading the "https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/1Password/1Password.agilekeychain/data/default/encryptionKeys.js" file. This error occurs as a result of recent changes by Dropbox which were added to support new features.

We have been working closely with Dropbox to get this problem resolved. They are working on a change that will allow 1PasswordAnywhere to work properly again. These changes are being tested and we expect them to be deployed soon. We will keep you up to date as this fix progresses.

I apologize for any inconvenience this is causing.

For a bit of background for the geeks in the crowd:

1PasswordAnywhere treats the .agilekeychain within Dropbox as a regular filesystem. We access this "filesystem" directly - not through a Dropbox API - and simply download files as if they were local. Since we are not using the Dropbox API, we can be affected by any changes to the way Dropbox serves files underneath the covers. Dropbox has been kind enough to make changes on their end to continue to support the way we currently access files. We are looking at ways to improve 1PasswordAnywhere so it will not be affected by similar changes moving forward.

  • This update has been deployed and 1PasswordAnywhere should now be working correctly.

    Thank you again for your patience.
