Running on iPad

I loaded 1Password on iMac and Windows as well as iPad. It works fine on desktops but cannot make it work to open a webpage in Chrome on iPad. Do I somehow load 1Password into Google Chrome on iPad? Your support material does not make it clear how to get running on the smaller machines. (Furthermore, I clicked on Dropbox on iPad for storage and am wondering if the iPad will know what directory I earlier created on Dropbox.) My Apple software is all the latest editions - on iMac, iPad and iPhone. Thank you very much.


1Password Version: 6.0.2
Extension Version: ???
OS Version: 10.11.3
Sync Type: Dropbox

    @JohnFauquier - Chrome works for filling in credentials the same way Safari does on iOS. But you must activate the 1Password extension for it to work. To do that, you would click on the share panel. The resulting screen will show the various active options. If you have not already activated the extension, click on the More (...) option. Then turn on the 1Password extension. You can rearrange the order the active extensions hold in the list; I dragged mine to the beginning. Once the extension is active, when you want to log in to a web site, you click the Share panel, then on the 1Password extension, and pick the record you want to use if there is more than one. Your credentials will be filled in, but in iOS, they won't be automatically submitted. You must click the login option on the web page to submit.

    Here is a screen shot from my iPad of Chrome accessing the login page for this forum. I'm hoping the annotations I made will help make my verbal description clearer. Say so if you can't follow this.

    Fantastic! Fast and direct response that got me my solution for both Chrome and Safari immediately. I am very impressed with the support from AgileBits.

    I would be curious to know where this information is in the 1Password documentation.

    @JohnFauquier - Check out the iOS User Guide at support.1password.com. The relevant section is here.

    I am not an AgileBits employee, so I can encourage you to give them a five star review in the App Store without grinding my own axe. I just a volunteer here to try to help fellow users when I think I can. But if I hadn't come along, the official folks would surely have done so.

  • Thanks for the update, @JohnFauquier, and for the assist, @hawkmoth!

    If there is anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to contact us.
