![]() On my Android, I have been unable to get 1Password to autofill or suggest fill-in credentials for the Schwab website (the Schwab app is working and that is probably good enough), and a few other websites, including Bogleheads. Perhaps there is a better way to do all this? ![]() Similarly, some entities have both a website and app for login and each have to be manually updated with the same password, which is tedious. Once I began to use 1Password, it created problems because any duplicate URL's for an entity had to be manually deleted, as they did not have my updated password. One issue that took time to clean up was that Chrome's password manager (which I imported to 1Password) had several different URL's with my login credentials for a given entity, because some have multiple login port of entries. I worked through it and so far I have successfully changed passwords to much more secure ones for sensitive sites/apps. After watching videos that painted a rosy picture of a fast and painless transition I was disappointed. I've spent about 10 hours so far on the process, including cleaning up the imported logins from Chrome, changing passwords, and trying to troubleshoot getting 1Password to work on all apps/website on my Android. In the hope of managing expectations for users like me, here's my experience with 1Password so far, and I have one question: Prior to plunging in, I watched a couple of youtube videos and reviewed introductory information on 1Password's website. I use a Windows desktop and Android phone. I consider myself moderately adept as a software user and troubleshooter. But regardless, it looks like we’re going to be getting some sweet app updates when iOS 8 launches in the fall.Thanks to softwaregeek for his great thread "SoftwareGeek's Guide to Computer Security" which inspired me to start using a password manager. These new features for 1Password are still in beta, and they are subject to change as development continues. When asked if 1Password will be able to work with third-party browsers like Google Chrome on iOS, Chartier said “it largely comes down to those apps using Apple’s native sharing and Extensibility tools so their apps ‘see’ our extension.” So an update to Chrome for iOS 8 could mean that 1Password will work there as well. “I wager the majority of the work will be on our end with polishing that integration and the whole user experience.” “Extensibility and Touch ID have been pretty easy to implement so far,” Chartier told Cult of Mac. This 1Password beta is a testament to how easy Apple has made it to add these new features, as iOS 8 has been available to developers for less than a month. “Extensibility and Touch ID have been pretty easy to implement so far” Now it will be a seamless experience to use 1Password inside Safari and potentially other apps as well. There was also the option to use 1Password’s built-in web browser with autofill, but it didn’t solve the problem of making it easier to work inside other apps. In the past, you had to open the 1Password app, copy text, then jump back into Safari and paste. Tap the 1Password icon, authenticate with Touch ID, and select the relevant login info to be automatically filled into the Web form you have open in Safari. This is where the power of Extensibility really comes into play. ![]() When you’re in Safari, 1Password is accessible via the share sheet along with standard actions like copy, print, etc. The 1Password beta lets you adjust the time interval for when Touch ID is needed to re-authenticate (a feature Apple desperately needs to add in Settings for unlocking the iPhone).Īnd that awesomeness is just for getting into the app. It only works on iOS 8, and it allows the user to authenticate the app with Touch ID instead of entering a master password like before. The latest beta of 1Password, released over the weekend, offers a perfect example of what iOS 8’s changes will look like for users. “This is absolutely about iOS maturing in a very, very good way,” David Chartier of AgileBits told Cult of Mac for our look at Extensibility last month. iOS 8 signals a new era of openness for Apple on its mobile platform, as developers can now do things like use Touch ID, offer custom keyboard layouts, and tie into other apps like never before.
