Re: Christmas Question #2
Merry Christmas Jim from an old Pegoretti road bike rider. ?Put about 30,000 miles on it over 10 years in the SW Washington state area. ?The same problem you had, took a serious crash about 4 years ago and my bride said that’s the last time she will see me coming up to the house a bloody mess! ?I sure miss riding though and have many dreams. ?A very intoxicating activity. ?Cheers.

I’ve not had time to do the setup yet on my wife’s machine, but I discovered that the current generation of 1PW (8.x) is not available on the Mac App Store, so that pretty much answers the question. Next stop: AgileBits’s website.

Thanks so much. That should do it. Everyone in my stepson’s family has a Mac save for for his gaming wizard son, whose mantra is that if you cannot strip it down to bare metal and build a brand new but different gaming box from the case up, it’s just a toy. HE's now facing a dilemma as a graphic design major freshman college student that some courses DEMAND he use a Mac. But everyone else in the family prefers Macs.

Re: Setting up new laptop for my spouse
I thought that I’d read somewhere that 1Password uses subscriptions? If so, then she would be paying an individual subscription at the same time that you are paying for the family subscription.
I would guess that downloading from their website might give faster access to updates, because of the vetting of apps in the App Store.
With which method would she find easier to install updates?
More of the money goes to the vendor when purchasing from their website.
Perhaps someone who uses 1Password would know more.

Re: A Reminder to Say Alert
Thanks, Christopher. For the typo correction.
Happy Holidays, everyone.
As far as moving over my contents from the former iTunes, life got in the way. Or in this case, death. I found a friend deceased. I am emptying out his condo, so his kids can sell it. Sadly, he was a hoarder, and hid cash.

Fancy it up first if you like (fonts, special effects, etc.). Take a screen shot, open in Preview, and rotate, then save. See below.

Setting up new laptop for my spouse
SOMEWHERE in our home, there’s a 13” inch MacBook Pro from 2017. We’ve not been able to find it for about 3 months, and FindMy can’t help because its battery is exhausted. And, of course, it cannot run much of current Apple Ecosystem software and won’t support Apple Intelligence.
So, my love has a new MacBook Air, and I’m doing initial setup before she wakes up Christmas morn.
I have a “family” version of 1Password, license purchased directly from the software publisher. Is there any reason not to download HER copy from Apple’s app store? Is licensing any different between the version on Apple’s store and that on the publisher’s website?
Thanks so much, and Merry Christmas to all!!!!

This is a reminder to be alert to phishing attacks…
?
I just received a message, purportedly from iCloud, telling me that my account needs to take immediate action (as if my account could take any action) and asking me to verify my Apple ID.? This was supposedly because I violated Apple’s policy and terms of service, but at the same time said it was other individuals “attemp” (my quotes; their spelling) to impersonate my Apple ID.? Later it says go to “A-pple” ID (again, my quotes; their spelling). ?Looking closer at the sender, I can see an underlying email address that is a resort — not Apple.? The URLs under the various links point to various sites.? For example, the “Support” link would take you to Netflix’s privacy policy.
So there are several indicators that this is from a scammer.
?
See Apple Support’s article, “Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams”. for information on how to report such messages to Apple.

Correct. Fingerprinting suspects was ruled as NOT unconstitutional decades ago, and as a consequence utilizing a fingerprint, or, by extension, other biometrics, is permissible.
But the 1st Amendment speech rights include the right NOT to say, or write, any particular thing – including your password(s).

All the more reason not to store your driver’s license, ID, or auto insurance on your phone. I use to travel for work and often had to drive 2 hours for the last leg of the trip. Often thru areas with no cell signal. Many of those documents need a signal to be used, and so become unavailable. Also it is the minority of the state that will accept a DL on a phone.?
Heck, about 10% of the time ApplePay won’t work and I have to pull out the card.?
