1Password Teases Safari Web Extension Already Working on iPadOS 15

by

With the introduction of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Safari extensions that previously only worked on the Mac can also run on the iPhone and iPad. While the feature won't be widely available until the fall when the new updates roll out to the public, 1Password, a popular password management app, has already teased a functional Safari extension on iPadOS 15.

Shared by 1Password developer Andrew Beyer on Twitter, the in-development 1Password iPadOS 15 extension allows users to access their saved passwords quickly, create new passwords, edit existing accounts, and more.

The 1Password extension will also work on the iPhone running iOS 15. Similar to on macOS, Safari extensions on iOS and iPadOS 15 are easily accessible through the main toolbar. On iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey, Safari received noteworthy updates, including major redesigns, enhanced security, and on iOS and iPadOS, the ability to pull down on a tab to refresh.

Nice to see. Will be interesting to see if they can keep ahead of Apple, as they add more password management functionality to the OS.

As some have said, it's only the lack of a Windows or web-based option for the Apple password manager that's keeping them using 1Password currently.

Too bad it's exclusive to Apple. If it were available for Firefox I'd definately try it out.

What is the benefit of an extension over the existing integration for 3rd party password managers in iOS?
A few things I can think of off-hand:

1. Ability to fill more complex forms, such as https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/login/loginInitial which Password AutoFill can't currently handle due to it being limited to filling two fields
2. Much easier access to the password generator, which has been a long standing request
3. Ability to fill Credit Card and Identity items, which Password AutoFill hasn't opened up for 3rd party password managers at this point

Keychain is fine as long as you only need rudimentary password management. 1Password creates an encrypted enclave for a lot of sensitive information (my family stores SS cards, DLs, birth certificates, certification docs, insurance cards, etc) and that, along with the family sync, is really valuable to us.

An app I can’t live without. It’s usually the first app I download to a new machine.

that’s just it, it’s Apple only. So why wouldn’t 1Password stay ahead? It’s not like Keychain will work on Linux or Android. There are smart TVs all over, but people still buy streaming devices For their TVs.

They better really keep innovating.

Apple is coming for that lunch
😂 right. I highly doubt 1Password, LastPass, and others are worried. I can do so much more with 1Password than with keychain. I can make a vault for work and share only those passwords on my work computers, but I can see the work passwords on my personal (I can’t see personal passwords on my work computers). I can have a vault for my family. I can use it on Linux, Windows, and Android. I can help people under my family plan recover their account, upload important documents, store customs WiFi settings, and more. So I doubt any of the password managers are worried at all.
