in iOS

Mac & iPad versions already downloaded from Agilebits website. I don't know if I'll run into any problems if I mix downloads. I use DropBox for sync.
Latest version on iMac, older version on iPad - iOS 7, want latest version on new iPhone, only two days old, iOS 8.3.

1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: Not Provided

    Added info: I originally purchased 1PW direct from AB. This version can not sync over iCloud. At that time I had iMac and iPad so I had to have them sync over DropBox but other sync functions use iCloud.

    Now have iPhone and can only find how to download it from Apple AppStore. I don't want to pay again for the iOS 1PW so do not know if or how to get it from AppStore or if i must get it directly from AB. If from AB, WHERE? All I can find is sales pitch telling me why I should buy and use 1PW and links to the AppStore.

    On my iMac, I did find AB link to get my credentials (which I assume I need to get the download) but it did not work on my iPhone. Using my iPhone I found the link again but when I clicked on it, Safari refused to go there.

    Bottom line, what must I do to get 1PW on my iPhone without paying for it again?

    The only place you can get iOS applications is from Apple's App Store. This includes 1Password for iPad and iPhone. In this case, the basic application is free to download and use as long as you like. There are more advanced Pro features that require an in-app purchase to activate. If you have already paid for those once, you won't need to pay again, as long as you are using the same AppleID on your iOS devices. The Pro features will automatically activate in your new installation.

    The version of 1Password for iOS has never been sold directly by AgileBits. Apple doesn't allow apps on iOS unless they come from their store only.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thus ends my confusion. At least in this instance.

    I’m an existing 1PW user but am having problems trying to install and set up on my new iPhone 6.

    Things NOT said in your instructions.

    To install I had to enable App Store purchases in settings. That wasted more than an hour.

    Your first setup instruction should be to turn 1PW on or enable it to work in settings.

    Set up new vault? I don’t know. Do I set up NEW vault in NEW iPhone or use existing vault that is in other devices???

    Share - still hung up on this one. Since I am new to iPhone, you should include icon pictures when you refer to them. For instance, Click on SHARE. Had no idea what was wanted. Finally figured the square with arrow at top pointing up, is the share icon. Now, if I could only figure how to drag you icon to the top of the list. Are you sure??? Is this in SETTINGS? They don’t move.

    How do I enable 1PW? On iMac I use hot buttons. iPhone - what keyboard? I still haven’t figured out where it is hidden.

    In all fairness, the points you had issues with other than using a new/existing vault (i.e. enabling/disabling IAPs, the standard icon for 'share', etc) are all general conventions on Apple iOS devices which are explained in the extended manual for iOS devices (typically available on iBooks and not actually included in the box when you buy something). Whilst AgileBits probably could be clearer with their instructions, I didn't find it that hard to understand but then I've been using iOS devices for a while.

    Anyway, when you say how do you enable 1PW? You're meant to set it on iOS to sync with your DropBox if that's where you've been syncing your passwords previously.

    No, I ment, when I am at a site requiring a password, on my mac I enter hot key combination (and enter 1PW password, if necessary) and the info is entered by 1PW. What is the equivalent step on an iPhone?

    There are two methods on iOS:

    In 1Password: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios/5/en/topic/1browser

    In Safari: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios/5/en/topic/fill-items-safari

    If you intend to use Safari you will first need to enable the Safari extension:

    Thanks.
