There sure is. 😁 Once you've unlocked with your Master Password the first time subsequent unlocks should happen via Touch ID / Face ID if enabled within the 1Password app, until you restart the device etc.
I hope that helps!

Ah that’s not obvious. Thanks

I've just updated my iPad to iPadOS 15, updated 1Password to 7.8. I've enabled the Safari extension. Face ID is enabled and the app has been unlocked with the Master Password.
When I click on the 1Password icon in the Safari address bar, I'm seeing this
(Having a UUID appear looks really weird.)
I can tap on the Face ID icon and a pop-up window appears asking if I want to sign in. If I tap on Continue, Face ID happens and 1Password unlocks.
Is that how this is supposed to work?

Thanks for the feedback on that telephoneman2. I'll chat with our folks and see if there is a way we can make it more obvious without causing even further confusion.

Yes, that does indeed look/sound correct to me. I'm working on getting an explanation for the UUID component, but I can confirm it is supposed to be there.

Some additional information on the UUID:
The ID shown on the lock screen should match the ID shown on the biometric prompt. This allows folks to confirm that the biometric request has come from 1Password. We hope in a future iOS update we might just see "1Password" there, rather than an ID, but this was what was available to us for this initial launch. :)

1P_Ben would be good, I’m seeing the same. Show an UUID looks more suspicious then it raises trust, to be honest I can’t determine wether UUID is from a virus or malware or the lovely 1password. I totally fail here not being able to identify this 😜

At present the ID is the only available option, but hopefully other options will be made available to us in the future. :+1:

The login seems to be lost after deleting your cookies in the Safari iOS browser, so you have to relogin with your master password. Is there any way for the 1pw extension to preserve them?
