Wells Fargo App et al.

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, it seems like our Open letter to banks, dated back in 2018, is still applicable here.

Sadly, it does seem like banks and other financial institutions are the most reluctant (to say the least) to follow the established practices and standards that would allow 1Password – or any other password manager on iOS, for that matter – work with their apps in a way that will benefit the customer.

In this specific case, it doesn't seem to be understood that any other password manager on iOS would suffer the same problem, since we all plug in to iOS's built-in Password AutoFill system, which is what's responsible for detecting and filling forms. 1Password just provides the data when requested, as would any other password manager.

Although it's disheartening to see that this is still the attitude of some in the financial industry over half a decade after our open letter was published, I can recommend referring any bank or other financial institution to our open letter, since it summarises the problem, and even suggests what you might send to them by way of feedback.

Here's hoping for a more secure future in financial apps. :)
