URL private link opening

When using 1password7 those private links opened directly in the app to entry that they are linked to. However since moving 1password 8 it does the behavior described above of opening safari and than opening an app. Is there any to return to the previous behavior?

Hello @snowy! 👋

Thanks for the question. Are you referring to the link that is generated when you tap on Copy Private Link? If you are then you can tell iOS to open that link in the 1Password app directly by changing the https:// portion of the link to onepassword://

Let me know if I misunderstood the question.

Yes, so I clicked on that generated link in a message I sent to my wife. I forgot I had 1Password 7 installed on my phone and it opened right to the entry. I uninstalled 1p v7. And tried again but it opens in safari first with the prompt do you want to open in 1Password.

Thanks for the reply. Did you replace https:// with onepassword:// in the link? That should allow you to open the link directly with the 1Password app.

To clarify with 1Password 7 I didn’t have to change the URL.

I did try replacing http with onepassword. And it does not open to the entry in 1Password 8. It just opens 1password

So you have to remove all of this prefix:

https://start.1password.com/

Than you prefix onepassword://open/i?…

Either way it is an extra step. I would prefer to be able to get a link from the 1Password app that would open in the app.

Cause for whatever reason you don’t have manipulate the url to get it to open 1password 7.

Thank you for the feedback. I can see your point and, while I can't make any promises, I've filed an issue with our development team so that they can look into having private links open directly in 1Password 8 on iOS.

It looks like this is a known issue, I've added your report there as well. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
