The Safari Extension is available on all supported versions of iOS, but only in the Safari mobile browser. Accessed through the Share button, it gives you quick access to your Password Manager from registration or login forms to create new accounts or retrieve your credentials.
Pocket Geek Privacy Autofill is also available on all supported versions of iOS and uses Apple’s native autofill password feature to give you access to your saved credentials directly from the top of your iOS keyboard. With it, enjoy easy logins on all your favorite apps and website (on any browser) and easily create new accounts on registration forms.
* Pocket Geek Privacy Autofill can be used to fill registration forms, but due to technical limitations from Apple, you will need to copy and paste your password as it can't be autofilled.

Caution
Your Master Password is a sequence of characters that you create and that you — and only you — know. It’s used to decrypt the sensitive data stored in your Managers. You are its only guardian, we truly have no access to it (and therefore can’t misuse it or put it at risk), so make sure to keep it safe and not lose it. The good news is this is the only password you now need to remember!
You can adapt your preferences regarding the Master Password from the security section of your Settings. Learn more
