Adding Credit card with camera

Background: Adding a credit card takes time, you need to fill in many detail and it is time consuming.

Solution: Using the phone camera in iOS or Android to add a new Credit card. This would work by the camera scanning the numbers, security number and expire date and adding it to relevant field.

Comment: This has been requested as old as 2017 goes so just curious why this has not made it to the app.


1Password Version: 8.10.38
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS
Browser: Not Provided

    The lack of this made me quite sad. I've just started a 1Password trial and was going to use it to add the payment details ... I guess I won't be purchasing a subscription this time around.

      Welcome to the community! You can save credit card details in 1Password using the steps in this guide: Save and fill credit cards and addresses

      You can also manually create a credit card item and type in your credit card information. I've let the team know that you'd also like to see a feature for scanning credit cards using your device's camera be added in the future.

      This is not just a nice to have feature it is the only way a blind user can input a card without assistance from a sighted person. Witch requires giving someone access to confidential information

    Came here to suggest the same thing. I can do this with a lot of apps. 1Password should offer it as well.

    Thanx Dave yes I do find it would make it much easier to create credit card details. Appreciate you providing this to the dev team for consideration.

  • Hello Feejus! šŸ‘‹

    Thank you for the feedback! I would certainly find such a feature useful as well and, while I can't make any promises, I've let the product team know that you'd like to see a scanner with optical character recognition added to 1Password for iOS to make saving credit cards easier. šŸ™‚
