Wi-Fi network login passwords

IOS saves login passwords from previously logged-in wi-fi networks and automatically logs me in next time it senses that hotspot. When I log in to a NEW network in iOS wi-fi settings, is there any way to create a new 1PW entry without manually keying the info in? I realize 1PW only supports web page login, not wi-fi. So why should I bother trying to keep wi-fi access passwords (not routers) in 1PW? Thanks.

    Thanks for taking the time to write in.

    There is not. Such a thing is not possible with iOS.

    So why should I bother trying to keep wi-fi access passwords (not routers) in 1PW? Thanks.

    The answer to that question is entirely up to you, and may very well be "you shouldn't." I like to because I use a number of different devices that I might need to login to a network on. They haven't all necessarily been on that network before, so they wouldn't have all of those passwords saved. But they all have 1Password, which does. Also if you ever get a new device it may be nice to not have to ask everyone for their WiFi password again. They'd all be stored in 1Password for you.

    What data you choose to store in 1Password is a personal choice. We don't dictate what info to store and what not to. ;)
