Only one way to create a new login?

I'm a new user. I must be stupid but I can't figure this out. I'm using 1Password on an ipad. I go to a website w/in the 1Password browser. I create an ID and password and login. Why doesn't 1Password offer to create a new login at this point (like it does when used in a PC/Mac)? Is the only way to create a new login w/in iOS to go to categories, hit +, and then copy and paste the URL, ID, password, and name, and save?

    Hi @mroberts‌

    If you are browsing in 1Browser and come across a site that you need to create a Login for, try this:

    • Copy the URL of the site
    • Switch from 1Browser to the 'vault view'
    • Tap the '+' icon when in the Categories or Logins tab to add a new Login
    • Paste in the site's URL (you may want to update this later so it is the site's sign-in page instead of the create account page, if different)
    • Enter a unique title for the entry
    • Type in your username
    • Generate a password
    • Save the entry and tap to copy the generated password
    • Switch back to 1Browser
    • Paste your newly generated password into the appropriate fields and save your account details on the site.

    We're working on making this process even easier in the future. I'll let our developers know that you're keen on seeing a prompt from 1Password to save a new Login from 1Browser. :)

    I agree. From a usability standpoint, those 10 steps are a lot of work. It would almost be easier to create a throw away password then find the change password link on the website you're accessing. Still a lot of steps but at least it's a more natural work flow.

  • Thanks for the feedback, @JayL. I agree that the current workflow is not ideal, and is why I do most of my login saving on 1Password for Mac. We're working (within the restrictions of iOS) to improve this workflow.
