1Passwd gives you several options for automatically locking the keychain. For example, you can have it automatically lock after so a number of minutes of inactivity or when your Mac goes to sleep. However, sometimes you want to lock your 1Passwd keychain right now. (like when your crazy Uncle Alex is visiting and asks to use your Mac to check his web mail)
You could load the 1Passwd application and click on the lock icon. However, for those who want to do this frequently there is a better solution.
Enter Keychain Access:
If you look inside the Applications folder you will find a folder named Utilities. Open the Utilities folder and you will find the icon above.
Keychain Access has an option that allows you to place a small icon in the menu bar at the top right of your screen for quick access to keychain related tasks. Since 1Passwd stores all of its data in a keychain you can use this to control the 1Passwd keychain as well.
First, load the Keychain Access utility and select Preferences from the File menu.
Next, check the box next to Show Status in Menu Bar
Close the Window and Exit Keychain Access
You will now notice a new lock icon at the top right of your screen:
Clicking on the lock displays a menu similar to this:
You have the option to lock just the 1Passwd keychain (shown above), all keychains, or any other keychain on your system.
Now when crazy Uncle Alex shows up you can quickly lock down your data with little fuss.
