First of all, downloaded application "ACMETap. By the way, ACME is a fictitious company that accepts orders for weapons such as catapults and rockets.


When the ID and password entry screen is displayed, swipe so that it pulled up from the bottom of the screen.


Swipe and tap as "1Password" application comes up.


When "Touch ID for" ACME "is displayed, fingerprint authentication is performed.


The account stored in 1Password will be displayed. Tap on the above account ......


ID and password were entered at once.


Fingerprint authentication can be used by 1 Password Extension, but further functions are also installed. First, start "ACME Browser".


Tap on the Twitter link in the browser's "Top Sites" ......


The Twitter authentication page has been launched.


Tap '1 Password' displayed by swiping as before.


Then I could enter user name and password from ACME Browser as well. Because the OS manages through interprocess communication, it can deliver ID and password to third party applications much more safely than simply copying and pasting. Although 1Password application so far only accessed from a dedicated browser, if various browser applications correspond to 1Password, it may be possible to use 1Password more conveniently from iOS 8.
