how to search from iPadOS 1Password home screen.

Agreed. 

The long-press Search on the app’s icon in the dock doesn’t work for me, either.  It feels like I’m fighting 1Password more and more.

Hello ​@SteveRothman and ​@MrC! 👋

When using 1Password on iPad, you can find the search feature in the sidebar: 

The sidebar is open by default when using 1Password for iOS in landscape mode and is collapsed in portrait mode. You can read more about search and the sidebar here: 

• Use the sidebar in the 1Password app
• Search in the 1Password app to find what you need

I hope that helps!

Thanks Dave. There are certainly a lot of ways access search in 1Password.  I’ve been using iPad for over 10 years, and I use it almost strictly in portrait mode, that just feels normal to me. It’s the same as my phone, and the same as a book or magazine (which in many ways are what iPad has replaced for me). I have no idea what’s most common, but I’m sure there are a ton of people that mostly use iPad in portrait mode.  With the amount of screen real-estate available, it’s weird not to have the search be available right on the home screen, in portrait mode. I’m sure you can squeeze a little magnifying glass icon in there!  (or maybe have a setting so that the sidebar is on by default in Portrait mode, for people like me). 

Yes I can do a long-press on the 1Pass icon, yes I can rotate my iPad, yes I can tap the little control to get the sidebar to show up. But that’s all friction, there should be a search icon or search field available on the home page every time I open up 1Pass. What happens now, is that pretty much every time I open up 1Pass on my iPad, I want to search for something, and I can’t believe I have to go through extra steps just to search.  Is that OK?

PS - Not scientific, but do a Google Image Search of “people using iPad” - easily half of the pictures show portrait orientation
