iPassword App not working on iOS 14.5

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.

That's a clever workaround Oodle544, however I wouldn't trust this developer going forward. I have switched to 1Password; it is desktop and mobile and, therefore, less likely for this to happen in the future.


Someone did contact the developer on Twitter and he said he was going to fix the problem, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Make sure you have backups if you stick with his apps.

I have an iPod and iPad that I don’t think I have updated. I will see if I can login to one of them and copy my passwords, I am not sure that I have the app installed on both devices though. If I don’t, I think when I download it that it will not update my numbers from iPhone. I don’t know what yo do really. I am sure that I paid a subscription for the app, so I definitely will be looking to get a refund.

Oodle544 - the best, easiest, and most efficient solution so far, with no weird 3rd party app required. btw, I didn't pay $ for the new version and it still worked. Unfortunately it does keep you in the Password Manager universe which I detest, but for now, I'm happy to have my mass of passwords available again. Thanks for your generosity, time, and effort. ;-)

I could go with any password app if I had all my data in CSV, and there are plenty I would choose over 1Password. I could also manually transfer each entry to any other app, but who wants to do that (around 200 entries) ... I would prefer some smart cookie to show us a way to extract existing data from the iPassword into a format like CSV or something similar, something readable. Heck, I'd even settle on using excel for my passwords from now on given the major PITA this app has been.
