Copying passwords

pb4072

Why can't I copy a password in this app? I can reveal the password, but I can't copy it. Why do I even have this app if I can't do this?

@pb4072: Indeed, you can copy passwords! Simply view an item, tap on the (concealed) password, and then choose "Copy" instead of "Reveal" or "Large Type":

Please note that if you Edit the item, however, you won't get the option to Copy the password because you're, well...editing it rather than viewing it, so 1Password expects you to make a change. I hope this helps! :)

No, no, no. That's exactly what it doesn't do. There is no choice to copy! I can reveal it. It's a very cryptic password. I ain't going to remember it when I go to the web site. And, in revealing, there's also no copy functionality.

There definitely should be! That is very strange. So when you tap on the password field you see options for Reveal and Large Type, but not copy?

Could you please let me know:

Which version of iOS you have?

And which version of 1Password for iOS you have?

Thanks!

@pb4072: Preceisely. As I said:

Please note that if you Edit the item, however, you won't get the option to Copy the password because you're, well...editing it rather than viewing it, so 1Password expects you to make a change.

This is what you'll see in Edit mode:

When you're just viewing the item details -- not editing -- you'll have the options shown in my previous post.

If you're seeing something different, please let us know the exact steps you're taking so we can reproduce it ourselves, and include a screenshot, as it will help us better guide you. :)

You're absolutely right! Duuuh. Thanks a lot. Yes, I can copy by just pressing on the bulleted password there. Thanks again.
