1Password is one of the most highly recommended password managers and the developers are constantly updating the service and apps with new features and functionality. The first update for the 1Password iOS app in 2021, includes an important security fix that stops a proxy server on your computer from seeing your email address during authentication.

Tap Passwords AutoFill Passwords. 1Password vs Keychain (iOS 14) Hi guys, I’m a devoted 1Password user, but I know that Apple is adding features to Keychain in iOS 14 that is supposed to make it competitive to current apps. I was wondering if anyone who’s on the beta could weigh in on their thoughts.
1Password is one of the most highly recommended password managers and the developers are constantly updating the service and apps with new features and functionality. The first update for the 1Password iOS app in 2021, includes an important security fix that stops a proxy server on your computer from seeing your email address during authentication.
According to the changelog for the app that was updated a couple of days ago, if you’ve configured a proxy server on your PC to connect to the 1Password servers, the proxy server will no longer be able to see your email address while authenticating with the 1Password server. Users on version 7.7.1 should not be affected by this issue after they update their app.
When you start your subscription to 1Password using an in-app purchase on your Mac or iOS device, you can manage your subscription with Apple.

Another important improvement coming to 1Password is related to the iOS QuickType keyboard. Users can now use AutoFill while keeping all usernames and URLs out of the QuickType bar. An issue that could prevent users from emptying their trash section on their accounts has also been resolved.
The developers have also fixed bugs that could cause multiple authentication attempts, a crash in iOS 14 when users signed in from a setup URL. Other improvements have also been made when using AutoFill on various URLs. You can view the entire changelog on the company’s releases page for their iOS client.

iCloud is complex and depends on many factors, including your network environment and software configuration. This article is a collection of common solutions for syncing problems.
We’re unable to troubleshoot issues with iCloud beyond the scope of this article. If you’ve tried everything in the article and are still unable to sync, a 1Password membership is a more reliable sync method.
If 1Password won’t sync with iCloud on some or all your devices, try each troubleshooting step in order. After each step, check if 1Password is now syncing with iCloud (create an item in 1Password and see if it syncs to all your devices). If it’s still not syncing, move on to the next step.
Step 1: Update your software
Syncing with iCloud works best if all your Apple devices are up-to-date and you’re using the latest version of 1Password. iCloud requires 1Password 5 or later, iOS 8 or later, and OS X Yosemite or later.

Step 2: Check 1Password sync settings
Make sure that 1Password is set up to sync with iCloud on all your devices:
- Sync 1Password with iCloud.
If you use Chrome as your default web browser, you may be unable to complete iCloud setup on your Mac. Try setting Safari to your default browser and then set up sync again.

- Mac: choose iCloud Drive Options.
- iOS: choose Apps Using iCloud.
Step 4: Restart your devices
Restart your Mac(s) and iOS devices and see if they resume syncing.
Step 5: Reset iCloud data in 1Password
If you’ve tried all these steps and 1Password still isn’t syncing with iCloud, reset your iCloud data.
Important
Resetting iCloud data is a last resort. 1Password data on your devices will remain safe. However, any data that has not yet synced (including new items or changes to existing ones) will be lost.
Before you reset iCloud data, first turn off sync in 1Password. Make sure to do this on each of your devices:
- Mac: Open and unlock 1Password, then choose 1Password > Preferences. Click Sync, select your Primary vault, and set “Sync Primary vault with” to None.
- iOS: Open and unlock 1Password, then tap Settings > Sync > Sync Service > Disable Sync.
Then, reset iCloud data in 1Password. You only need to do this on one device:
- Mac: In 1Password, choose Help > Troubleshooting > Reset iCloud Data.
- iOS: Open and unlock 1Password, then tap Settings > Advanced. Scroll down and tap Erase iCloud Data.
It might take a moment to remove all the data from iCloud. You’ll see a confirmation when it’s done.
Finally, on the same device, set up 1Password to sync with iCloud, then set it up on all your other devices:
