I've been using an iPhone for almost exactly 2 years now and I didn't realized until like a month ago that you can change the default password manager. Unless Keepass just didn't tap into the API (which would surprise me), but Enpass works like a charm and I felt like an idiot for manually going into the app and copy-pasting this whole time.
Settings > Passwords > Password Options
And then set "allow filling from" to your password manager
- tyfon 4y agoOn the pixel phone "it just works" with keepass. But yeah I didn't know about that option either in iOS after 2.5 years.. It says something about the UI I think.
- microtonal 4y agoI don't know. My password manager just told me to change the option there and it was never an issue. They have to put the setting somewhere. Alternatively a password manager could register itself with the OS, but that has a certain security risk (even with a dialog, which we just tend to dismiss).
- kitsunesoba 4y agoEven if you don’t change the default manager, third party managers automatically appear as options for auto filling password fields. I’m thinking that whichever keepass client OP was using (there are multiple on the App Store) didn’t actually take advantage of the password API. Which ties into why I haven’t been able to switch to keepass: client quality is all over the place and even if you find one you like, there’s no telling when it’s going to go dark and if you’re lucky get forked.
