IPad where is the 1P shortcut in Safari?
Rob Gordon
Please tell me how to auto load a web login & password
I presumed that the iPad version would operate the same way as my
Mac does

Hi Rob,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us with your questions.
Due to the way that iOS works we are unable to implement a 1Password icon inside of Safari on both the iPhone and iPad. Apple doesn't provide a mechanism for us to do this. If they make this available as an option we most certainly would do our best to support it.
As an alternative we have a built in web browser that allows you to use your logins that way. Simply tap the website address in the 1Password login item to open it in the built in web browser. We don't support saving new logins from the built in web browser, but you can use existing items.
Just tap the + button in the main application to add a login item.
Let us know if this helps!
Cheers!

Is it possible to have it do auto fill for credit card info?

Not at this time, though that is something we're hoping to add in the future.

people, go ask Apple for this type of functionality.

I did. If this hooked in to safari on iPad, I would be in heaven.
The built in browser isn't the solution because I can't get to the browser from a link in email etc.

Hi Greg,
We are hoping to improve the built in browser to enable pasting your own URL in I believe. So that would be an option.
At the very least what you'd be asking for is the ability to set a third party app (1Password) as the default web browser application.
But good suggestion. Making the request with Apple will help too.
Cheers!

I wasn't going down the road of asking to have 1P be the default browser, I went down the road of giving mobile safari the same sort of plugin infrastructure as desktop safari. I want to keep using mobile safari (for compatibility and feature reasons) but I want the 1P button in mobile safari so that it can fill in the passwords just like on the desktop.

But you are correct, we need the 1P user base to ask apple for the support we need for the 1P guys to build an even better product.

Greg,
We'd love to see Mobile Safari extensions for 1Password, and other apps too, but I honestly doubt it's something Apple would ever really want, iOS is a sandboxed OS at its core, adding extension support would weaken that and could lead to some security issues.
That's just what we're guessing at the moment, we're coming close to iOS 6 now with not even a hint of mobile Safari extensions, it may happen one day but it's not likely to be soon in my opinion.
All we, as 1Password, can do is to improve our built-in browser and maybe find a nice way to let you open pages from Safari into 1Password's browser via a bookmarklet.

How about 1Password for Chrome under iOS for the iPad & iPhone? It's quite lovely and if apple ever opens up Nitro, it should be quick.

Paul,
The same restrictions that prevent us from integrating with Mobile Safari apply to integrating with Chrome on iOS, or any other browser, there's just no way to do it right now as iOS is completely sandboxed, for good reason.

wow i'm glad i read this. I was about to splash out and pay the huge price for this software. I use pc/mac/ipad/android and its quite a lot of money to get all those.
But for that cost I would expect a better solution for my ipad. I dont want to use an integrated browser and i wont use one.
I think you need some creative thinking on the subject. I could add readability scripts to safari without any problem, why dont you go that route? Also firefox home's system of a page of links where you can choose to open in safari?
I currently use Keepass, but the osx apps are dreadful and dont even read the database entries correctly.
The system keepass uses is to allow you to copy the user/pass from the database and then paste it into your safari page - does 1password offer the same solution?
I'm a little unclear how the whole system actually works - how different is it to keepass (which i am also considering)

Hello Ian,
We are investigating all the options Apple's current, and future, iOS allows. However, when it comes to the security of data, we have some additional concerns that we need to investigate. Just because something can be done, doesn't mean that we can do it securely.
My comments do not refer to your suggested workarounds, per se, nor do they mean we are not looking at any particular option. We will continue to consider all of the options available, and it is our intention to provide a much better browser integration experience in the future.
We do not comment on other developers' apps, so I cannot provide you with a comparison, but I'm confident there are many on the web for you to review. Regardless, we are more than happy to discuss 1Password with you. If you have specific questions, please start a new discussion, and we'll do our best to help you there. :)
Cheers!
Brandt

Hi
I'd just like to say that I took the risk and bought the pc/mac licence, the ipad app and finally the android app.
And im VERY happy with it. I basically spent my afternoon opening sites on my pc and saving the log in info. To my delight its worked perfectly!
thanks so much!
ian
ps the only glitch i came across was imageshack.us - the program doesnt offer to save the site password for some reason so i had to make that manually but no biggie :)
