Cannot See login/passwords on iPhone

Good morning, I love this app and have had no problems until just recently. On my iPhone I ran into some login trouble with Dropbox and master passwords. I believe I have my iPhone, iPad and Macs all logging in and syncing correctly, except that my iPhone now only shows blanks for logins and passwords. All of the accounts/websites, etc. are still listed, but when I tap password or login, it takes me to a blank screen. I disabled syncing witih Dropbox in fear of losing ALL my login data. My iPad seems to be still working just fine.

Could I have locked myself out of my iPhone data in some way?

Thanks and sorry if this is addressed elsewhere.

  • Hi Tim,

    No, it looks like you may be experiencing an interface glitch.

    Try this to fix this:

    1. Open the main 1Password app on one of your Macs, go to the the Help Menu > Troubleshooting > Rebuild Data File
    2. Wait for Dropbox to finish its sync on the Mac, you'll see a green checkmark on the blue Dropbox icon on the top menu bar
    3. Once you do, open 1Password on the iPhone, go to Settings > Sync > Dropbox, tap on "Sync Now".

    Once it is done syncing, restart the 1Password app completely: The way to restart an application on iOS is:

    1) Press the Home button twice, it'll bring up the app switcher
    2) Find 1Password, tap and hold it for a few seconds till you see the red "-" mark shows up
    3) Tap the "-" mark to close the app
    4) Press the home button to get rid to the app switcher
    5) Open 1Password and see if it'll work better now

    I hope that helps, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    These instructions on how to stop and restart the IOS app just saved my life!! I noticed that logins were suddenly no longer in sync between my iPhone and my Mac. Somehow (don't ask me how), Dropbox sync got turned off on my iPhone5. When I switched it back on, 1P prompted me for the Master Password on my iPhone. Somewhat flustered by now, I was confused about which password it was prompting for. I went over to my Mac, brought up the 1Password help, and view the video on syncing Macs to iPhones. When I returned to the iPhone, 1P had timed out and was prompting me for the Unlock Code. I entered the code, and saw nothing but total blackness on the iPhone screen. After 2 minutes, it timed out and asked for the Unlock Code again. Repeat code entry, Repeat Blackness. I was totally stuck until I found these instructions!!

    Stopping and restarting the IOS app brought back everything. I turned on the Sync switch, entered the password, etc., etc., and everything is back to normal. MUCH THANKS!!!
