Is there a simple way to enter passwords into app boxes such as appleid on restart iPhone
When I am faced with such a box I currently cancel the box, open 1Password and copy the password then return to what I was doing to past the password in the appropriate box. This is the approach I use in similar non browser situations on my mac. But it multitasks better and is simpler to do than on the iPhone.
Examples:
iTunes when making a purchase
Password for email account
Apple ID when restarting iPhone
1Password Version: 5.4.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 8.4
Sync Type: Dropbox

@bobbenedetti You are doing the correct steps when needing to get a password from 1Password into another app. The steps are greatly simplified if the other app has added the 1Password 5 for iOS app extension, in which case you can access your 1Password data right from the third-party app.
A couple of the examples that you mentioned are Apple apps, or iOS itself, asking for your password. Apple hasn't (and most likely won't) incorporated the 1Password extension into their apps or iOS, so you will have to access 1Password for your Apple ID password in these cases. Or you might consider changing your Apple ID password to a memorable one using the same process as creating a strong, memorable master password as outlined here.

Thank you, I suspected that was the case but I thought i's ask incase someone had come up with a simpler way.

You are most welcome @bobbenedetti. Yeah, the super simple way to do this is when developers include the 1Password extension, but that probably isn't going to happen with Apple. :chuffed: Please give us a shout if we can be of further assistance.
