Tip: "Unofficial" Password Profile Look-Up for 1Password (iOS 5)

1Password is my go-to password application for all of my iOS devices as well as the Mac. Since the introduction of iOS 5, Agile has discontinued support for its bookmarklet code that allows users to launch 1Password's search functionality from the browser. Agile's long-term plan is to improve the application internal browser. There are obviously more than a few issues with that solution, including cookies, session state, browser favorites, and the lack of ability to set any browser besides Safari as default.

As a workaround, a clever 1Passsword user came up with JavaScript code that can be used for a Safari (or other iOS browser) bookmarklet in iOS 5. The bookmarklet will open 1Password and should populate the domain automatically in the Search dialog entry box. In my short time testing this it does work for some login sites, but not all the time. Even if it doesn't populate the site correctly in the search, at least the bookmarklet allows quick access to the 1Password search entry.

Here is the code to paste in the URL section of the bookmark:

javascript:window.location='onepassword://'+window.location.href.substring(window.location.href.indexOf('//')+2)

This will certainly be helpful for me. How about you?
