iPhone or iPad camera to scan your credit card details instead



In Safari, you can already autofill online forms with card details stored on your device. But if you prefer not to store sensitive data on your device, in iOS 8 you can use your iPhone or iPad camera to scan your card details instead.

When you're prompted for your credit card details by a reputable shopping site such as Amazon or eBay, tap one of the information fields (where you’d normally type your card's details), then the Scan
Credit Card option above the numberpad. Your phone screen will tum into a camera, with a rectangular outline marking where you need to place your payment card. Position your card within
this frame, and your device will enter the name and card number into the text fields. For security reasons, you still need to manually enter the expiry date and three digit security code on the back
of your card.

lastpass in the search box, tap ‘LastPass for Premium Customers’ in the results, then tap Get, Install, and type your iTunes password if prompted. Once you’ve installed LastPass, launch the app, follow
the steps to log in or create an account, then choose whether you want to use Touch ID (fingerprint scanning) to log in. Next, you need to switch off your default Safari auto-fill options. Go to Settings, tap Safari in the left hand pane, Passwords & Autofill, then tap ‘Names and Passwords’ to switch it off. Open Safari, tap the Share icon (blue box with arrow) to the left of the URL bar at the top, scroll right along the bottom row, then tap More. Tap the switch next to LastPass to turn it on (see screenshot above right), and it will now appear as an option when you tap the Share icon. Next time you're on a site requiring login details, tap the Share icon, LastPass, then log in. The site will appear in a list, assuming you’ve already added it to LastPass. If you haven’t, tap Add New Login then follow the instructions to add it to your LastPass list.
