Arrow FDX E-Grid Auto Login for Mac

The app LoginPFC is now available for Mac users. Thanks to the support from the BidX team, the Mac app uses the secure E-Grid system in the new BidX Pro to log into PFC just by opening the LoginPFC app. BidX Pro is a free upgrade for current subscribers.

You need to have BidX Pro (not the regular BidX) installed as well as Safari as the default browser (it's a Safari script). Once you've input and saved your info into the password-protected secure Preferences of BidX Pro, the app will run.

Make sure "Enable access for assistive devices" is selected in 'Universal Access' in 'System Preferences.'

You can download the LoginPFC folder here LoginPFC app and read me file

PM me with questions.

I just renewed BidX recently and still have 10 months left on my subscription. How does that work when trying to upgrade to BidX Pro? How much is it for current users?

It's free for current subscribers. Just upgraded mine. Go to the downloads tab (not bidx pro tab) and download your version. It will ask for your subscription number or employee number. works great.

BidX Pro costs nothing more... and uses the same serial # as BidX. It is purely a name change. The name change was necessary to help keep things straight as I was simultaneously developing it (and testing it) along with BidX. On the surface, it is very much the same. Under the hood it is a fair bit different. You can see a list of many of the changes at http://www.bidx.org/.

Yes, Login PFC worked fine. If you get a warning about assistive services not being enabled you need to enable them by checking the box near the bottom of the Universal Access page...

Top Left Corner click on "apple"
Click on "System Preferences"
You'll find the "Universal Access" icon in the system section, click on it.
Check the box next to "Enable access for assistive devices"

Thanks for coming up with this! It will make logging in the FedEx much less a pain...

If it isn't working for you, make sure your CAPS LOCK is not on. That will cause problems.
