Can no longer copy a password from 1Password?

Is there now a setting that allows you to turn on/off the ability to copy a password from the Logins page on iPhone and iPad versions of 1Password? This functionality seems to have disappeared with the addition of the "Reveal Password" feature. This change causes me to use two devices so that I can see my strong password on one and type it on the other. (There are times when 1Password will not work with a website, so I have to enter passwords manually. The copy / paste capability was helpful in those instances.)

    Hi @bgabby,

    There hasn't been any change there and you should still have both copy and reveal options when you tap on a password. I'm adding a screenshot I've just taken from my iPhone 4S running 1Password for iOS 5.2.1

    All I did was tap on the password field as you would expect to do to bring up those two options.

    Can you try rebooting the iOS device. Then if you still have no joy can you let us now what version of 1Password for iOS you're running and what version of iOS. A screenshot as well would be great if possible. You can either delete sensitive data or make use of the demo vault like I've done. That should be found in 1Password > Settings > Vaults > Add Vault > Create Demo Vault.

    Do please keep us informed.

    Thanks. I'm using 1Password version 5 and iOS 8.1.3. What I figured out is that the copy/reveal work fine as long as I'm not in Edit mode. If in Edit mode, then whether revealed or not, the copy capability does not work. My process had been to select edit so that I could see the password. If it was a complex password (that I couldn't remember), I would then copy it and paste it. That is the capability that I can no longer do. But now that I know copy works outside of Edit mode, that will work fine for me. Thank you!

    @bgabby unfortunately copying a password in edit mode will not work anymore as we switched it to be a secure text field which doesn't allow copying its content. But I am happy copying the password in display mode works just fine for you.
