Problem: After moving to a new machine (MacBook Pro) OW 5.5sp4 does not autofill user name and passwords.

* When running 5.1.3 on the same machine, 5.1.3 correctly autofills.

* If in 5.5sp4 I re-enter the information, then OW asks me if I want to save the info and if I say yes, then my keychain has duplicate entries for the same web site and then OW 5.5sp4 correctly autofills the data.

* On a separate PPC machine I installed 5.1.3, filled out a user name/password and told 5.1.3 to save the info. Then I launched 5.5sp4 and got a dialog telling me that OW had changed and if I wanted to update all entries in the keychain. I said yes and OW 5.5sp4 correctly auto filled the data. So if this is a bug in OW, there must be other factors, or this might be a configuration issue with the keychain.

* Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'd like to find a solution since re-entering all the info in the keychain will take a long time.

From the sp5 release notes:
• An Intel issue with reading passwords stored in your keychain that were created while on a PPC machine has been corrected.

This has fixed the problem for me. Thank you!
