[Feature Request] Please provide a sync option or auto-sync when I access the iOS share extension

I often encounter a scenario where I saved a password on my Mac and I try to login from my iPhone. I haven't opened the 1password app so the data hasn't had a chance to sync (and I use the share extension more often than the native app) so having it auto-sync with the sync progress or a button that lets me explicitly sync would be great.

Thank you!

    Thanks for the suggestion, @hitokirikensan.

    We do not do auto-sync in the extension because in many cases it does not stay open long enough to complete a sync. Regularly starting and then stopping a sync before it can complete increases the chances of sync conflicts greatly.

    It may be possible in the future for us to provide a way to manually initiate a sync. Right now leaving that out makes the extension quite a bit leaner (which means quicker load times), but as devices continue to get faster this may be something we can consider.

    Thanks!
