Hi there - is there any way to have a password auto fill or recognize for an application on the iPad? It's a VPN app - and each time I need to copy and paste from 1password.

1Password Version: 8.10.48
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: ipad OS 18.0.1

    Hello @khaosspawn! 👋

    On the iPad AutoFill is specifically handled by iOS through an Apple feature named iOS Password AutoFill and 1Password only provides the data for the experience. Before we continue can you make sure that Password AutoFill is setup to work with 1Password:

    1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
    2. Tap General > AutoFill & Passwords.
    3. Turn on AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys.
    4. Select 1Password.

    Then try to fill your login again using this guide: Use 1Password to fill and save on your iPhone and iPad

    If that still doesn’t work then can you tell me if you’re able to fill into any other apps on your iPad? If you can’t then can you provide me with the name of a specific app where filling isn’t working so that I can test it on my end? Please make sure not to send me any usernames or passwords, just the app name.

    Hi Dave - Cisco AnyConnect is the app.

    I have this enabled - but I'm not sure how to tell 1p that the saved password is for that particular app.

    Thanks for the reply. When you tap on the password field in the app then do you see a "Passwords" prompt appear above the keyboard? If you don't then try tapping on the username/email field.

    After tapping on the "Passwords" field you'll see an option to fill your password from 1Password.

    If that doesn't work then is the issue that you don't see the "Passwords" prompt above the keyboard? Or that your login credentials for Cisco AnyConnect aren't suggested after tapping on the "Passwords" prompt?
