Sometimes you’ll need to enter your password into an app or window that doesn’t work with 1Password:
- When you’re signing in to an app on your computer
- When you’re asked for your Apple ID on an iOS device
- When you’re signing in to a website using an HTTP authentication prompt
In these situations, you should take advantage of the ability to copy your passwords from 1Password.
