Allow iOS Password Manager to Work on Login Screen
I just downloaded the app and made an account using a strong password. The app doesn’t allow me to copy and paste the strong password into the field. It also blocks the iOS password manager from inserting the username and password. So I resigned myself to manually typing the password into the field, however, when switching to my Notes app to look at the strong password I created, then returning to the Elgin app, the password characters I already entered are deleted. The app developers might think they are doing something that makes the app more secure, when in fact, they are causing people to use weak passwords. Enable the username and password paste option and allow the iOS password manager to do what it was designed for please.

Convenient option
As I don’t use Facebook or Twitter it has been less convenient to get updates from the City in recent years. This helps with that! One criticism is that the app doesn’t play nicely with autofill from a password manager. The login screen also jumps around when I attempt to paste credentials. Other than that it’s be a 5-star rating.
