1Password, LastPass, Dashlane and More Updated With Support for iOS 12's AutoFill Password Feature

[seanjs]

Go back and look at post #25. I bet you bought your 1Password version directly from Agile. Now you have to find the 1Password updater in the App Store and then 1Password will magically show up under the AutoFill Passwords switch.

Agile has done a rather poor job of explaining how to do this on their website.

I'm using LastPass and have the app installed on the iPad.

ah so browning within Lastpass app, will support Autofill... I suppose that is good, but don't many use Safari and just fill in via the plugin anyway ?

I bought 1Password for my computer and bought it again for iOS when they wanted me to pay for a subscription fee for something I already paid for I refused I still use 1Password version 4 on my laptop I refused to buy in to subscription software. Its different if you are using a piece of software to make money you can always build it in to fess but a utility program Agile Bits is not getting me to 3 times and over & over - vote with your wallet

You can buy 1Password 7 outright (without a subscription). I wouldn’t use 1Password 4 unless it’s still getting updates. They do give you the option to go subscription or not.

Can anyone explain how it knows which password to use? For example, I go to the Facebook homepage, tap in the username field to enter my username, iOS 12 opens my password manager which has, let's say, 100 entries. How does it know which entry to use? Does it look for a field where 'Facebook' is mentioned, or is there some other magic happening in the background?
The reason I ask, is there some specific formatting of my password entries that I should use to maximise the chance it gets the right one. Specifically, I have home insurance and a credit card from the same bank, but the web addresses are slightly different. How can I ensure that when I am on the credit card site that it doesn't try to use the password from the home insurance site?

It uses the URL and try to get a close of match as possible. I don't know other Password Managers handle it, but with 1Password, you can adjust the URLs. If you have multiple matches, it all offer both and allow you to pick the one you want to use.

Using your example. Let say you have two entries for logins. if you set the URLS to both http://bank.com, 1P will offer both when you try and enter a password. But you could assign each entry their one, more specific URL. So your insurance long may use http://insurance.bank.com and your credit card uses http://credit.bank.com. If you want to log in to your credit card, you navigate to http://credit.bank.com and 1P will know to use the correct login and password.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but either way there is. It just tedious. The time I performed it, there was no easy migration tool. I did it about two years ago now and overall, it transferred everything. I did some house cleaning when completed, but have been using 1 Password ever since.

I was sincerely asking if there is a way to export Keychain to 1Password. I went to the 1Password site, and they can export the usernames and passwords from things like Chrome, but not Apple Keychain. I am sure it is a security reason that we can't. But I have over 300 saved entries in Keychain, and I hoped for a way to not have to do it one by one, manually. If there is, I am definitely interested. Thanks.

There is. Reach out to 1 Password directly. They sent me a tutorial and it worked when it was all said and done.

Multiple popular password management apps for iOS devices have been updated with support for a convenient new iOS 12 feature, Password AutoFill.

With Password AutoFill, logins and passwords stored in third-party password management apps will be available throughout the iOS 12 operating system right alongside iCloud Keychain, letting you log into websites, apps, and more much more quickly.

1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, Keeper, and Remembear all now support Password AutoFill features.

Setting Up Password AutoFill

Setting up a password management app to work with Password AutoFill will require you to go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > AutoFill Passwords to toggle on the AutoFill Password option while also making sure your password management app of choice, such as 1Password, is selected.

How it Works

The Password AutoFill feature lets a third-party app function just like iCloud Keychain, with your sensitive data protected but easily accessible within apps when you need your login information.

When you encounter a login field in an app or on the web, tapping in the entry field will display the stored username and password from your password management app if you've saved one right above the keyboard.

From there, you can tap the information to enter it into the app or website's login window, such as in the Spotify example below.

There are instances where your password management app does not have saved information entirely right or where you have multiple logins, like if you have multiple Twitter or Instagram accounts.

With Instagram, for example, when logging into the Instagram app, I see my two Instagram accounts listed in 1Password (my password app of choice) and I can tap either one to enter my login information.

For apps that your password management app cannot automatically identify, you will be able to access your entire password vault to find the login information that you need.

Where it Works

What's great about the Password AutoFill API is that it does not require developers to implement any kind of integration with your password management app to function, as was required in previous versions of iOS for this kind of functionality.

It works automatically in most apps and websites, with your password archive available no matter where you're logging in.

One-Time Passwords

When logging into apps and websites that require two-factor authentication, using a one-time password is also simplified.

If your two-factor authentication setup is linked to a password management app like 1Password, when you log into an app or website that requires two-factor authentication, your password is entered in the field and your one-time authentication password is automatically copied to the clipboard for easy pasting.

For apps that use your phone number for authentication purposes, iOS 12 introduces a feature that takes a code from an incoming iMessage and copies it to the clipboard, so two-factor authentication is simplified no matter the method.

Password AutoFill on Apple TV

Password AutoFill extends to the Apple TV using the continuity keyboard that permits the iPhone to be used to enter passwords and login information on the Apple TV.

For this to work, both the Apple TV and the iOS device need to be signed into the same iCloud account, and from there, the process is identical to using Password AutoFill on the iPhone.

In a text entry field, when prompted to use the iPhone to enter login information, passwords stored in a password management app and linked to Password AutoFill will be able to be entered on the Apple TV.

Note: tvOS 12 and iOS 12 are required for Password AutoFill to work on the Apple TV.

The Password AutoFill feature in 1Password, Dashlane, LastPass, and Keeper is available starting today so long as you've downloaded and installed iOS 12 and updated your apps.
