Hi, If I go to a website and there is a login requirement, I believe I understand that 1Password uses the domain to look up one or more logins that I already have stored for this domain. If the loo...
Hi Dave,
On the ios platform (iPad), I was setting a Lock on a Note, and I had to manually dig the password out of 1Password. So if the 1Password utility could be tricked into matching against a Note then that would fully engage my laziness! :-)
But now I twig that the browser link to 1Password is via an Extension, which is not available via Notes.
In my head it was a good idea, but I see the error in my ways.
Thankyou for the reply, but you can stand down now.

ModeratorThanks for the reply! On iOS, 1Password depends on an Apple technology called iOS AutoFill to detect and fill fields in other apps. The app that you're filling into needs to declare an "associated domain" that iOS AutoFill will then provide to 1Password in order for 1Password to match against the website addresses in your currently saved login items.
The reason you'll see "No suggestions" when you try to fill a password into the Apple Notes app is because the Apple Notes app doesn't provide an associated domain. This means that there's no way for 1Password to suggest login items for that app and you'll need to search for the correct login each time that you fill into the app.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Thankyou Dave.
What with the behind-the-scenes redirections nowadays, might it be useful to the end user to see the string searched for when 1Password replies "No suggestions"? Especially when there are all those extra Unicode characters that look awfully similar to the old-school ASCII ones we know and love? Just in case the end user has ventured on to some spoofing site and they don't know it.
I've not found it yet, but years ago I stumbled upon a website that would take some plain English text and replace the characters with Unicode ones that looked very similar. As soon as I press Reply here I will probably find it...! :-)

Thanks for the reply. Are you able to post a screenshot of the "No suggestions" screen that you see on iOS? I want to confirm that we're talking about the same thing.
Can you also tell me which browser and website that you're trying to fill into when you see "No suggestions"?

Hi Dave,
I am well out of my depth here, so please feel free to dismiss this concern if I am havering (good Scottish word, that!).
I guess my worries are to do with URL Masking: If the browser is showing what looks like a legitimate URL (but, for example, the characters are Cyrillic), then 1Password will not match since the (spoofing) website is not stored within 1Password. I am worried that I may not spot the spoof, and believe that 1Password has just had a hiccup, hence may override it and copy and paste my password thus revealing it. So my idea was to feed back to the end user the exact reason why 1Password is not assisting with the password.
But you folks are light years ahead of me around security, and I have been wrong on multiple occasions before I retired! :-)
Thankyou again. Happy to terminate this chat.

Yep, I found the website. For "homoglyphs". Have a play:
