1password iOS keyboard does not support gboard if standard US keyboard is not available

on my iPhone, I removed the std US key board and had only Japanese romaji and gboard keyboards activated. When I brought up 1Password, only the Japanese romaji keyboard came up with no ability to change to the gboard keyboard.


1Password Version: 7.0.5
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: iOS 11.2.6
Sync Type: iCloud

    @cymemptor: Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry for the confusion! This doesn't have to do with 1Password specially disallowing Gboard, but rather that iOS simply does not allow 3rd party keyboards in secure text fields at all for security reasons. After all, using Gboard could allow Google to collect everything you enter into 1Password in that case. Not saying they would, but that they would have that capability. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    P.S: You should try Kana! :yum: :+1:
