Apple iOS 12 introduced Password AutoFill API for apps like 1Password and LastPass, designed to allow management apps to provide stored usernames and passwords for websites and third-party apps.. Note This 1Password feature is not widely available yet except it will be available for everyone when 1Password app is updated following the release of iOS 12... In the case of Instagram, this means that I see my two Instagram accounts listed 1Password and I can tap either one to enter my login information... What's about Password AutoFill API is that it does not require developers to implement any kind of integrations with your app to function, as was required in previous versions of iOS for this kind of functionality.. when you log into app or website that requires authentication, your password is entered in the field and your password is copied and pasted to the clipboard for easy entry... For apps that use your phone number for authentication purposes, iOS 12 introduces feature that takes code from iMessage and copies it to the clipboard, so authentication is simplified no matter the method... Password AutoFill extends to Apple TV using the keyboard that permits iPhone to be used to enter passwords and information on Apple TV.. For this to work, both Apple TV and iOS device need to be signed into iCloud account, and from there, the process is identical to using Password AutoFill on iPhone... In entry field, passwords stored in app and linked to Password AutoFill will be able to be entered on Apple TV.. 1Password's Password AutoFill update will be available following the release of iOS 12, shortly ahead of the launch of new iPhones.
