Just wanted to thank you for the OTP feature. I was using Google Authenticator App which was working, but it was a pain. As I as many in the IT field are updating iPhones or lets say iOS devices on a regular (yearly) basis it was a pain to add all the 20 or so of mine and my wifes accounts which have OTP enabled on each devices (we use 5 devices simultaneously).

With 1Password they now sync (thru Dropbox for us) automatically to all our devices, what a time saver!!! And if I upgrade one of the devices they come with and I dont have to waste 30 or so boring minutes to add them all again.

Chapeau Agilebits!

Only question now is, when does the feature come to the Mac Desktop Version? :)

    FYI, the app Authy does sync OTPs with other iOS/Android/Windows/Linux/Mac devices. They even have a desktop menubar app that will grab the OTP from your phone via bluetooth.

    I have been using that for a while now to solve the very problem you mentioned.

    Having said that, I would rather use the 1P implementation (hopefully coming to the mac app soon) - so I too am very excited to see it added to 1P

    I love the TOTP feature as well. It's fantastic! I have to help my wife and mom with their logins occasionally and now that the TOTP code syncs across to my phone, I don't have to ask them what their code it. It's a great help, timesaver, and gives me peace of mind that the code is behind my master password. Also, upgrading to new iPhones will be simple.

    I actually like the fact that the code is only on the iPhone and not the desktop version, so it actually works more closely to two-factor, needing my phone, as well as my laptop to login.

    Well thats actually true Texastoby, this could also been seen as an advantage, on the other hand if you can get a hold of the link in 1Password somebody could just ad this in his iphones I guess (not tried).

  • @Stefan Schweizer, thanks for the kind words! Glad you like it.
    @steve28, yes OTP is coming to the Mac version very soon!
