This subject might have been addressed somewhere in the forum, but I didm't find the answer.

Could we expect that the future development of the iOS dedicated 1Password application would allow to capture the login information from Apps that we using daily into the 1Password application? If the answer is yes then would we be able in a second step to call the login information stored into 1Password up as we are doing it on a MacBook or iMac?

Thank you for your feedback and have a good day!

    Hi @FilM‌

    I am sorry to say that due to the sandboxing of apps on iOS, Apple does not provide developers with a way to directly interface with other apps. Unless the app has included support for 1Password explicitly, we cannot do anything (like filling) in another app. These sandboxing restrictions also prohibit 1Password from providing browser extensions for mobile browsers. This is why we have 1Browser available within the 1Password app: to allow you to take advantage of 1Password's stored information and filling capabilities.

    Currently to log into other apps such as the Facebook native app, you need to copy and paste from the 1Password app. 1Password makes this easy as you can simply tap on the username or password to copy it. 1Password will then clear out the clipboard within a given time period to ensure that your important information does not stay in the clipboard after you no longer have a need for it. You can check out Apps that love 1Password to see which apps have added 1Password integration into their interface.

    Thank you Megan for this feedback. Much appreciated!!!
    Now the question is how to sell to apps providers the added value of being one of the "Apps that love 1Password ". ...

    Hi @FilM‌

    Thanks so much for your understanding here. You're right, it would be awesome if more apps decided to add 1Password integration. We're all about sharing the love here. :)
