Swiping to copy passwords seems to be very sensitive in 5.3

i use my 6 and 6+ left handed.
I used to swipe right to copy a password.
Now it seems I can only do this with my right thumb while holding the phone in my left.

What gives?

I know it's a first world problem, but it wasn't this "sensitive" before. Thanks

    Hi @zemackdaddy,

    Thanks for taking the time to write in. I'm not aware of any changes to this feature in 5.3, and I don't see anything in our release notes indicating a change. I just tried it myself, and was able to swipe with my left thumb fine on my iPhone 6. Unfortunately I don't have a 6 Plus to test with.

    This may seem like a silly question, but does this still work for you in other apps?

    I just figured someone "tightened up" the left-> right swipe or something.

    While it was going on, I didn't have issues in other apps, for example, I swipe left->right in Reeder 2 all the time to mark something read from their article list (a similar swipe and list of items to your screen).

    Today, it is working fine in 1Password (barely tried it today). I was also having problems with TouchID unlocking 1Password, being forced (like an animal) to type in my master password each time; however, both issues are now gone this afternoon...

    Must have been some strangeness with iOS 8.3 from yesterday.

    That is entirely possible. Have you tried restarting your device?

    In any event, please do let us know if the problem reoccurs.

    I have this problem on my iPhone 6 (not Plus). I believe the issue only manifests itself right after you perform a search and then only after the app has started from scratch (i.e., when not already running in the background).

    So to reproduce:

    1. Use the app switcher (double-push the iPhone home button) to terminate 1Password (by swiping it up so that it disappears).
    2. Open 1Password and unlock it.
    3. Go to the Categories tab.
    4. In the Search box at the top, search for a Login item that you know will be found.
    5. Try to swipe from left to right on the login that is found and you will be unable to do so.

    You can work around this by tapping on a different tab at the bottom and then going back to the Categories tab. When you return to the login item in your search, you will then be able to swipe on it in order to show the Copy Password option.

    I am running 1Password 5.4 on iOS 8.3.

    I was able to reproduce the issue with the steps you described, @schellack. Thank you for that! I'll file a bug with our developers. :)
