Linked Apps

This is good point for security measures. HOWEVER what if I ALREADY logged in and I DON'T want to reauthenticate to any other app? I've also migrated from BW and it had an application link represented as android app link. I could use that setup but instead I'm required to reauthenticate for linking purpose for my 200 records 🥴

Hey @delaskoff, thanks for joining the thread!

I can definitely understand the pain point of having to link hundreds of new Logins. We've passed your feedback to our product team for consideration and appreciate that you've chimed in with your experience!

Hi I have a similar issue, it's with a rail booking app. I've linked the app but always only get offered the login by 1PW, which I have no problem remembering. I cannot get 1PW to fill the password, and if I open 1PW from the field popup I have to find the right login. I tried the long press autofill both with and without the app associated, still no password.

Sorry to hear it @Andy1P! It sounds like this might be an app specific issue rather than an issue caused by an app link. If you let us know which rail booking app you've seen this behavior with, I'd be happy to take a look and report any issues to the team.

This is the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firstgreatwestern @1P_Timothy I’d be interested if it works for you.

Hi @Andy1P,

Thanks for sharing the name of the rail booking app you've seen this issue with. I was able to get this app to fill by first changing the Display Autofill Prompts option to Below the fields they relate to in the 1Password 8 for Android app. The steps on how to change this setting are below:

1. Open the 1Password 8 for Android app
2. Tap the account/collection icon in the top right
3. Tap Settings > Autofill
4. Tap Display autofill prompts then tap Below the fields they relate to

Once I opened the First Great Western login section in the app, 1Password initially offered Identity fields instead of login items to autofill. I then tapped the Password field in the First Great Western app, then tapped Open 1Password followed by the login item I want to fill the login fields with, then tapped Fill & Update Login.

This led to both the username and password field being filled and the login item appearing as an autofill suggestion when I tapped the login fields in the app.

Trying to autofill by tapping the username field only filled the username field during my testing, so it appears tapping the Password field and autofilling from this field is required to fill both fields.

I hope this helps.

Hi @BrendanR1P that's great. I followed the instructions and it doesn't automatically complete both fields but it does come up with the credentials when I tap into each field. Thanks for taking the time to figure it out and write it down.

To link an app to an already saved login, you can use a password manager app that supports autofilling. Install a password manager app that supports autofilling. Some popular password managers include 1Password, LastPass, and Dashlane. Open the app that you want to link to the saved login. Then look for the autofill option in the app's login screen. This may be a key icon or a "Fill login" button. If the app supports autofilling with your password manager, select the option and choose the login information that you want to use.

Hi @Andy1P thanks for the update! I'm glad to hear Brendan's steps have helped.

I still have issues with various apps on iPhones. I understand that when an app has a link to a website (Domain) this will work, but various apps do not have an association with a Domain. It's not possible in 1Password to manually link an (login) entry to a specific app. In some apps you can enable automatic login but this is not available in many apps. So I guess this would be a feedback request to make this internally possible to make this link between app and login entry. Or else make it possible (at least) to add the specific app into the Suggested Items.
