Easily copy passwords in Keychain Access

by Rob Griffiths, Macworld.com

As you’re probably aware, many OS X applications and features use the system’s built-in keychain to securely store your usernames and passwords—programs like Safari and Mail, and login information for other Macs on your network are but a few examples. You can see and work with this stored information using the Keychain Access program, in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If you’ve ever forgotten a password, for instance, you can look it up in Keychain Access.

Until just recently, I would look up forgotten passwords by double-clicking the appropriate account in Keychain Access, clicking the Show Password box in the new dialog that opened, entering my admin password in the authorization dialog that appeared, then selecting and copying the now-visible password. Ugh. I was sure there must be an easier way, but nothing in the program’s menus seemed to do the trick.

Then a friend pointed me to a much simpler—and for some of you, probably amazingly obvious—method of doing the same thing. In the long list of accounts in Keychain Access, control-click (or right-click) on the account’s name, and select Copy Password to Clipoard from the contextual menu. Enter your admin password in the authorization box and press Return, and you’re done—the password is now on your clipboard.

This feature has existed at least since OS X 10.4, but I only learned of it just recently—yet another reason why I dislike features that only exist in contextual menus!

Port Jefferson, New York – Limit Point Software announces TransformMovie 1.1.5, a utility for rotating and resizing movies, or changing their duration (rate of play.) You can also use it to create movies from other file formats, such as text or PDF.

Example: If you use your digital camera to create a movie in portrait mode you can rotate by 90 degrees so it displays upright in other applications.

How to use: Simply drag files or folders onto the application or its main window. Use “Preferences” to modify settings, such as rotation degrees, center of rotation, scale factors and the movie display rectangle or desired duration.

TransformMovie is a member of the Limit Point Software Utilities Bundle that consists of a wide array of small task oriented programs: movie and image processing, file management, batch email, web crawling, URL resource downloading, and much more. Register once and own all of them. Upgrades are always free, and new products are always included.
