With iOS and iPadOS 15, Apple allows Safari extensions developers to release their previously exclusive Safari for Mac extensions to the iPhone and iPad, allowing users to use extensions on all of their devices. 1Password was one of the first to tease support earlier in June<\/a>, and with its latest App Store<\/a> update today, it’s bringing it to all users. <\/p>

With its Safari extension on iPhone and iPad, 1Password users now have immediate access to all their passwords and 1Password entries right inside of Safari, including in-page suggestions. 1Password for Safari uses on-device machine learning to automatically fill in the login process of complicated websites and even automatically fills in two-factor authentication codes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Too bad it doesn’t work with standalone vaults.<\/p>\n\n

With the introduction of 1Password’s Safari extension, they’ve also discontinued their share sheet extension. This has managed to irritate quite a few users, including myself.<\/p>\n

While the Safari extension is great, it doesn’t replace all of the functionality of the previous share sheet extension.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

So if they had already stopped maintaining it, the claim that it would require additional work to maintain doesn’t really hold water. The sensible solution would have been to keep the share sheet extension in the app for some period of time alongside the Safari extension and then notifying users of its imminent retirement.<\/p>\n

What irritates me the most is the lack of messaging. I had no idea the share sheet extension was even in consideration for retirement. One day I just updated the app and it was gone — it wasn’t even mentioned in the 7.8 release notes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

1Password removal of the share sheet is also preventing it to work with Firefox on iOS as it was used as a a workaround as they provide no plugin<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
