Starting from iOS 9 user can easily switch between apps using the back to app button in the top bar. Can 1Password identify the name of the previous app and automatically display the password info associated with the app?

For example, if I am in Clue and I switch to 1Password via launcher app, can 1Password automatically show me my password for Clue?

    Hi @drclvs,

    Thanks for taking the time to write in.

    My understand is that no, we cannot do this, in the way you've described. When you switch apps using the app switcher you'll notice apps do not have the "back to [app]" path. This only happens when one app launches another. So Clue would have to launch 1Password. And then I'm not sure that the OS would tell 1Password that it was Clue that launched it, or if that information is restricted to the OS itself.

    The best way to use 1Password in 3rd party apps is for their developers to implement the 1Password extension. We have instructions and code available for developers to do this here:
