Feature Request: Copy iCloud Password from Today Extension

Entering system-level iCloud passwords is a pain on iOS (not your fault, but because iOS doesn't allow extensions for entering text into modal password dialogs).

The usual workflow when doing something like reviewing an iOS app is:
1. see iCloud dialog
2. cancel dialog
3. hit home button to return to springboard
4. navigate to 1Password
5. open 1Password
6. authenticate
7. copy iCloud password
8. double tap home button to switch to previous app
9. repeat action that causes iCloud dialog to appear
10. paste password

It would be great if we could store 1 or more passwords in a Today Extension for just this case. The previous example could only be reduced by 2 steps, but I wouldn't have to lose context by backgrounding the current app and navigating to and from 1Password:

  1. see iCloud dialog
  2. cancel dialog
  3. swipe down to display notification center
  4. tap 1Password button
  5. authenticate & automatically copy password
  6. swipe up to hide notification center
  7. repeat action that causes iCloud dialog to appear
  8. paste password

Thoughts? It would obviously be better if I could display notification centre while a modal password dialog was displayed but that isn't allowed by the OS.

    Hi @robinsenior,

    My initial thought on this is that it wouldn't be secure, but I'll pass the feedback along to our development team for them to consider. :)

    Thanks!
