Hi @jarviand 

Password generated on a particular device will be shown on that device only. So, please check on iOS device under Password History and you should be able to see it there. If you have any concerns, please let us know.

Thanks,

Hi @jarviand,

We apologize for the inconvenience.

But currently the password history option is not available in iOS due to some restrictions. You may need to use forgot password option in the website for which the password was generated and then setup a new password. 

You can also use Safe Notes in the Truekey app to copy the generated password as an alternative.

Thanks,
Karthikeyan J

After you’ve copied the password to the clipboard, update your existing Login item with it.

  1. Select the Login item you want to update with the new password.
  2. Click Edit, then paste the password into the password field.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Go back to the generator then copy all blank data put it into (you source) thank you might be able to see the blank password.
