Re: password management / security

2017-06-19 Thread Brandon Olivares
Honestly I like it because I can store more than just passwords in it. I keep my credit card information in 1Password, as well as banking information, server connection details, my PIN for EFTPS for paying taxes, etc, etc. Plus it can generate secure passwords for me with the criteria I choose.

Option-Arrows No Longer Working for Jumping to the Top or bottom of a List in Mail

2024-11-11 Thread Brandon Olivares
I just got the new M4 Mac, with Sequoia, for work. However I noticed that in mail, option-up arrow no longer works for jumping to the top of the message list. Or maybe it never did; I’ve been using Outlook on my personal computer. But how are you supposed to jump to the top of the message list?

I don’t have any problem finding the from/to info, and I’m using the latest version of Sequoia. Once I press enter on a message and make sure I’m not interacting with the message area, it’s one or two items to the left. It says the from name and then says “header group”. Interacting with that an

Hello, Has anyone else been having issues with Amazon with voiceOver? I know they’ve been changing things quite a bit, but I just tried to place an order and it was super frustrating. I can navigate normally with VO-arrow keys but the moment I try to jump to a heading or do anything else, it to

Usually I’m able to use VO-N to read notifications. However in Sequoia, even after I just receive a notification, VO-N doesn’t bring up anything. Is this no longer an option or am I missing something? Thanks, Brandon -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionar

VoiceOver Randomly Speaking Special Characters in Another Language

2025-03-24 Thread Brandon Olivares
I’ve noticed this recently. Sometimes when VoiceOver reads a special character, it’ll use the name of that character from another language. It doesn’t switch voices or anything, just calls it something completely different. For example, I was just reading something and it called a slash a “salit

Personally I use Chat-GPT in Edge and it seems to work a lot better. Chrome should be the same as well. There should be a heading under your question that begins Chat-GPT’s response. But you can press cmd+shift+C to copy the most recent response, then paste it somewhere else and read it that wa
