A few weeks ago, the developers at Agile Bits showed how the 1Password integration will work through an extension in iOS 8. For example, the app can fill saved passwords in the browser, similar to what is possible in OS X. The developers have now made it available to others code on GitHub, which will enable even deeper integration than iOS 8 would offer by default.

Code that third-party developers can add to their apps allows 1Password to connect to the app's login screen, or virtually any screen where credentials need to be entered. We can see the whole process in action in the video below. A 1Password icon will appear next to the fields on the login screen, which will open a share window, from which you must select 1Password, enter a password or unlock the app via Touch ID, select the appropriate login, and 1Password will then fill in the login information for you.

Furthermore, for example, it will be possible to use the automatic password generator when creating a new profile for logging in in the application, while the login data will be saved directly to 1Password. Agile Bits calls the 1Password extension "the holy grail of password management on mobile," after all, reminiscent of the capabilities of other Android apps, namely LastPass, which works on a similar principle. Extensions give third-party developers tons of integration options, and 1Password is a great example of how they can be used.

The updated version of 1Password will probably be released at the same time as iOS 8, so users will be able to touch the new options at the moment when Apple's new mobile operating system reaches our devices.
