When will there be an update to the iPassword app for iOS 14.5? I'm unable to get to my passwords.

I am also having the same problem with iPassword! I have years of passwords saved in the iPassword app which I had paid for ad free. Now I cannot access any of the data. I am furious with both apple and the developer that this has happened with now prior notice so I could download my data to protect it.
Thanks for the tips especially the one about using restore in the "manage apps".
I was also able to get it to work however I’m wondering if anyone has an easy solution for transferring passwords from the restored app to a different app - any app? I’ll even take Excel. I’m trying to avoid a significant manual transfer. Thanks to all for your advice and support! Without this community this would have been a disaster!
Thank you so much for this. I was able to restore data using iMazing on my old iphone 5. God bless you.
I can't believe this worked! My last backup was old, but at least I haven't lost everything. Thank you!! Now to move everything to a different password keeper.
I was able to follow @CPens instructions using iMazing to backup my phone, then download iPassword to my iPad and restore it back to my iPad, which I hadn't upgraded iOS yet. The instructions took a while but worked! Thank you @CPens
Thanks you cpens for the great tips. I managed to get all my passwords back using your method of imazing apps and using my wife old iPad. Really appreciate the help. Just a side note for anyone who still wants to use the ipassword apps, I manage to find out the app developers Twitter account and so happens he replies today to a customer complaining about this problem 5 days ago . His account is @setnul and I already replied to his questions to the customer and let see how responsible is this guy is. I do still hope he can update his apps so that I don’t have to write down all the passwords one by one to a paper. Cheers!
Sad this foesnt work if you backed up via icloud. The only way I backed up!
Thanks toybotstudios!
"If you find the app in Imazing and right click it, the Restore option is greyed out...." The same happened to me and I followed your instructions and it worked!!
Just to be clear, I have a new iPhone and a older Apple tablet both have iPassword on them. So I’m loading the imazing onto my tablet or onto my iPhone? I’m going to try it tomorrow. Thanks for any help
You download Imazing app to your PC or laptop. Then connect your iPhone to your PC/laptop and follows the prompts. Then connect your iPad to your laptop.
Read the post from toybotstudios about how to do the restore to your iPad. It’s very helpful.
I can’t open my iPassword! Come on Apple. Grrrrrrrrrrr
Apple didn't make iPassword, your issue is with the developer that abandoned it. Read the whole thread for possible workarounds.
OMG!! Lifesaver! CPens and toybotstudios!! Everything you said worked like a charm. I am soooo relieved! Like CPens, I may purchase iMazing as a thank you.
I downloaded iMazing, backup iPassword from my 14.5 iphone, can I restore it directly to the new iPassword? or must I restore it to my old ipad? above you said to open iTunes and restore from backup -- old iPasswork backup? I never used iTunes, so I'm not familiar with it, pls give step by step instruction, thank you very much
Team, I have found a work around.
What you will need:
-An old iPhone, not upgraded to IOS 14.6. (I had an old iPhone 7 - referred to below as "old iPhone")
-iTunes on a computer (I had PC, not Mac)
Step 1: Erase old iPhone / restore to factory setting. Do not restore with back up because if you try to, it will want/force you to upgrade that old iPhone to latest IOS. And this would be bad.
Step 2: Get old iPhone up and running without upgrading the software, and then log into your iCloud.
Step 3: Once you are logged into iCloud, back out to the home screen and go to the icon "App Store". And once in the App Store, click on yourself in the top right of the menu. Once you do that, click "Purchased", then "My Purchases", and then "Not on this iPhone".
Step 4: From the list of apps in "My Purchases", and then "Not on this iPhone" find the old iPassword App this is killing your reason for living right now...and download the app. You will find that this app will now work on this old iPhone, and can be restored from your iCloud back up by going into the App, and restoring from your iCloud. At this point you should feel somewhat relieved because you can at least see all your stored data the way you are used to seeing it. But of course, this data is on your old iPhone, in the old App, that you are using just to get through this exercise.
Step 5: Download the new Password Manager app Pro for $6.99, onto your old iPhone. This looks like like the old App, but has gold trim around the icon. At this point you now have two apps now on your old iPhone. The old one which now contains all the data, and the new app that has nothing in it.
Step 6: Take your old iPhone, plug into iTunes, and back up the old iPhone to your computer. Do not back up to iCloud, back up to your computer.
Step 7: Go into your old iPhone and into the old iPassword app, and back up the old app to iTunes. Once you do this, this back up file will be visible in the "File Sharing" window in iTunes. To get to the "File Sharing" window in iTunes, click on the device which you have plugged into your computer, which is the old iPhone. Then go to "File Sharing" shown on the menu on the left.
What will also be visible in the "File Sharing" window is both iPassword apps - the old one with all the data, and the new one for which you paid $6.99. These apps will be shown one on top of the other and there will be language that says "The apps listed below can transfer documents between your iPhone and this computer".
Step 8: Save the "back up" file shown under the old app to your desktop or some folder on your computer. And then, take that file and "Add File" to the new app.
Step 9: Go back into your old iPhone and open the new gold trimmed app, and restore that back up from iTunes. Once restored, stay in the new app and back it up, to the iCloud.
Step 10: Go into your new iPhone running the new app $6.99 app (I did not mention earlier that you will want to download the new $6.99 app to your new iPhone running IOS 14.6 at some during this process) and go into the new gold trimmed app, and restore form iCloud. AND YOU'RE DONE. All passwords and data is now in the new app, working great.
At this point, you should be good to go, but I think we all have some serious consideration to do on whether or not we keep using this developer's apps. OR, wring everything down and start fresh with an entirely new app.
I tried to explain everything step by step above, but if any steps cause you problems, do not get dismayed. Play/poke around a bit. Start and restart iTunes if you need to. But this workaround is definitely doable, its just a matter of having the old iPhone, and following the correct sequence/steps in the right order. I truly hope that this works for all, and if you find any inaccuracies with the steps I listed above, please correct me. I hope you all find the same luck and fortune that I have today.
Sincerely,
