Linked Apps

That's not exactly what I was thinking. I just logged into the Subway web site using the 1Password credentials without issue, both on my laptop and on my Android browser. I checked the Subway entry in 1Password, and there's no linked application listed.

When I opened the Subway Android App and attempted to login, 1Password didn't offer to fill in the credentials: I typed them in manually, and 1Password didn't link the Subway app, either. When I opened the entry for Subway, it didn't show a Linked application, like PayPal does.

The PayPal entry clearly shows the login credentials as well as a linked application, and 1Password properly prompts me to fill in the login details.

The question, then, is how to link or re-link 1Password entries to show the application installed on the phone.

1Password should scan installed apps and update the linked App to match a login entry or allow me to manually select a linked app from a list of installed entries for a given login. Conversely, if an app is already linked, even if it's not installed, 1Password should not change it.

Hi dcd1password!

If you have saved a Login to a web site you can link it to an app by autofilling with the Login for the website. 1Password will ask you to confirm that you want to autofill the website's Login credentials into the app. When confirmed, the link to the app will be created.

Hope that helps!

On this topic, I have a 600+ accounts in 1Password, many of which are also apps on my Android, for example, PayPal. However, I cannot figure out how to link the PayPal app to my 1Password entry. How do I create a link from 1Password to the Android PayPal app?

Hello FrankBreech thanks for joining the conversation. I definitely agree streamlining this process would be beneficial when importing from other password managers. I have passed along your comments to the development team. Thanks again for sharing your interest in this!

I think , ag_audrey, that your description helps me with my other post from 2 days ago.

However, while I laud your / 1PWs / AgileBits concern for safety/security, I have to be honest. For those of us migrating from other password managers (BW in my case), or just for the public in general.... this extra set of 5 steps (click "search for entry", find the entry, click on the entry, then click "OK to use this entry") is a kind of a pain in the rear.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but I'll say that I'm already so busy in life, why can't there be an option to globally make the match if we already have the website or android association already in the Login entry?

There are ways to be secure, and then there are ways to put up speedbumps.

Could you folks please consider giving the option to not have this extra set of steps?

Thanks!!!! Can't wait to hear back :)

ag_audrey, I do not get this option when trying to login to desktop app Microsoft TEAMS. I cannot copy paste and after I have logged in there is no option with 1password to allow autofill. Should I try this on my phone instead?. Should I simply use TEAMS within the browser? Thank you

Hey @Thanos92, thanks for reaching out to us! I'd love to help you with linking your apps :)

Since we do not want to take risks with your private data and insert it where you may not want it inserted, we leave it up to you to decide if you want a given app to have access to a given Login. After the first time you've used a Login in an app, we create a link between the two so we can offer it for filling from then on. Therefore, all you'll need to do is Autofill with the Login in the app!

Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any further questions :)

Anyone to help ?
