Make sure to re-enable iCloud drive after upgrading to El Capitan
Changes made in 1Password desktop were not syncing to my iOS devices.
When installing software from apple it asks you to enter your iCloud password. However, I don't know my password because I use 1Password to manage it. So I always skip it and then add the password later. And am greeted with the message that some things may not be setup correctly. I looked in my iCloud settings and iCloud Drive was turned off. I turned it on, modified an entry in 1Password desktop and the logins appeared on my iPad. Would have been nice to have some kind of error message. And would be even better if Apple allowed at least the keychain to access the iCloud login windows, much better if 1Password was allowed to access the login windows. It frustrates me that companies out there act as if their login system is the only login that matters for a person and that a person is expected to create a strong password, that they remember for their login, that is unique to their site. Apple's not the only one, but I do use Apple more than most. Websites with Flash and silverlight logins are the worst because you can't even paste into the login form and can't use 1Password. Not to mention companies who think they've found a better way for logins and take you through 3 login screens. Thank God there is 1Password and that helps tremendously with most sites. I just wish there was better integration.

Hi @SpiralOcean,
Like yourself I always tell iOS and OS X updates that I'll worry about iCloud later but at least on iOS it has never caused iCloud to not remain enabled. I've always assumed I was going to find it disabled but so far this hasn't been the case. I haven't had a chance to upgrade to El Capitan yet as I don't have my normal kit to make the all important backup before proceeding.
Flash or Silverlight does pose a problem. Currently we fill by way of directly interacting with the HTML by way of the extension. Neither of those languages allow this. If we ever develop a general way of interacting with a prompt then maybe we can work there. The question is can this be done whilst being reliable and secure. I also share your pain for convoluted login processes where I don't see the benefit in terms of our security. We will always try to move forward and create better compatibility with sites. The timescale is something that cannot be easily predicted though.
