How do I use 1PW for an upcoming iOS Dialog Box (AppStore Updates)?

Hello,

I just wanted to secure my Apple ID with an very secure 20 digit Password.
Before I do so, I asked myself..

How can I use 1PW 4.1 to fill in my Password in an upcoming iOS Dialog Box?

For example:
The AppStore shows 2 Updates available. When you push the button "Update all" there
will be an upcoming dialog box where to enter your Apple-ID.

Thank you
Talarion

    App Store updates do not require your Apple ID password. Apple changed this from previous iOS versions in iOS 6. It used to require a password but it no longer does. Now you only need to authenticate with the App Store if you are buying a new app. In that case, I'd recommend copying your password to the clipboard and then pasting it when you make the purchase. 1Password will automatically clear the clipboard in accordance with your Clear Clipboard settings. (The default is 90 seconds.)

    You can read more about how 1Password automatically clears your clipboard here:

    Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
