Detecting wireless routers
I noticed that this app detected one of the wireless routers I'm always around (my father's). I did not enter this information manually so it must have detected it and entered the info automatically. I'd like it to do this for all routers I connect to but how do I get 1password to do this? I t doesn't appear to detect my home router info but I'd very much like it to so that I don't have to enter it manually

Hi @Katzenbach,
There's no way to automatically import wireless router information, unfortunately. You must add it manually.
I can pass this along to our developers as a feature request, but I'm not sure that it would be technically possible for us to add this.

Maybe I described it wrong. The app automatically detected and added my father's wireless internet info. I suppose it detected it and asked me if I wanted to save the info (I've seen 1Password do this before for website forms). I wanted it to detect mine as well

Hi @Katzenbach,
That's curious. As Jasper says above, 1Password doesn't currently have the ability to do this. Are these details stored as a Wireless Router item or a Login item? Is there a chance that these details were shared with you using AirDrop or Messages?

Many routers have a web page management utility to change various parameters. You can access the settings for the router by entering its IP address in any web browser. Could this be what triggered the credential saving? Wireless printers ofter do this too.

It's the only plausible scenario I can think of too. I'm guessing it's just our standard Saving a Login rather than the WPA2 key that has been saved. I can think of multiple reasons why we couldn't easily access that kind of information.
@Katzenbach If you could let us know exactly what you believe 1Password has automatically saved that would probably help explain everything. A login page is certainly within the realms of possibility while more general details on the wireless connection isn't.

It apparently saved the wireless router info like the network name and the password.

Hi @Katzenbach,
If you're referring to the SSID and either a WEP, WPA or WPA2 key then we don't automatically save, genuinely the only way is for it to be manually entered - sorry. You must have added it, maybe so automatically you don't even remember doing it.
