Is 1Password for the iPhone going to support attachments?

This is a tricky question to answer at the moment. The issue is making the sync work properly for this amount of data. The new iPhone OS 3.2 update has a cool new feature that would make this easier, but afaik I'm not allowed to discuss the specifics so I will need to stick with a general answer: we're investigating this and hope to support for attachments in the future.

Dave, I'm vaguely familiar with the "thing we shall not speak of" ... Sounds good. Hopefully a solution can be found, but for the record- custom wallet types are waaaay higher on my priority list

The top of mine. Waited for a looooong time for them to re appear.

I'm excited to share a release date for this with you, but I'm going to try and curb my enthusiasm. For now anyway

What I will say, however, is the biggest problem with the custom wallet items was they wrecked havoc on the iPhone. Now that 1Password touch 2.3 is live in App Store, the biggest obstacle has been cleared. There's still more work to be done, but we're closer.

I just want to revive this thread and ask whether this feature is still being considered.

Recently, a friend was traveling overseas and her passport was stolen. I've heard stories about trips being completely ruined by lost passports, but in her case it only cost her a day. Why? Because she had a scan of the photo/signature page from her passport on her laptop. The U.S. consulate she went to said that really helped them speed up the process of getting her a replacement.

We're planning a family trip overseas in a few months, so I naturally thought I should do the same thing. And since that's a scan you wouldn't want to fall into the wrong hands, I naturally thought of 1Password. And it would automatically sync to my iPad and iPhone, giving me redundancy as we travel.

I was dismayed when I scanned all our passports today, synched, and they didn't show up.

I'm sorry, but there hasn't been any direct progress on this recently. It is still something that we plan to do. When I went on a cruise (thanks Dave & Roustem!) in late January, I used the ScannerPro app to take pictures of my passport information. It has remarkable detail and is simple to use. I know, it's not 1Password, it's not encrypted and the app isn't free but it fit my immediate needs very well.

I *think* that when iPhone OS 4 comes out we'll have some exciting new capabilities on the mobile front that we can take advantage of, and I'm hopeful that viewable attachments in 1Password might be one of the results (that's not a commitment, just my own personal wish).

Marty, thanks for the update. Our trip is in December, so you have several months to make me happy after iPhone OS 4 comes out.

Oh, so no pressure on us at all. That's great to hear! Just remember... what I said wasn't a promise, just an expectation. Our developers are going to be at WWDC in just a few weeks to hear first-hand about any new capabilities that we could then depend on.

This would be a superb feature to have and is the only thing 1Password is currently lacking for me.
Keep up the good work and I will keep checking back hoping this is implemented.



P.S. Even if the attachments are not viewable on the iPhone it would serve as a good backup solution for that data.

Thanks for the kind words! For tips, updates and news about 1Password on any of our supported platforms may I suggest that you occasionally visit our weblog at http://blog.agile.ws/, where you can signup for our Newsletter too.

Your point about the data backup is a good one and that's one reason we're interested in doing this if some of the other technical issues can be addressed.

Hi!

I second the request to have attachment support in 1Password Touch, at least to be able to see JPG, PDF and TXT files.

My usage case is the same that Glv already outlined in an earlier post: I would like to carry a few selected and very personal documents (digital copies of ID documents and such) on my iDevice that I don't feel comfortable to store on cloud services like Dropbox or iDisk. 1Password Touch would be the perfect tool for that task!

Cheers!

Hi iLuke,

I think that's exactly what a lot of users are hoping to see us add, and I know it's something we're considering as Dave mentioned to begin with, we haven't made any more progress on this as of yet but it's certainly still on the list of things to look at for future updates.

Thanks for letting us know you'd find this useful,
