    I am having the exact same issue with iOS. Some apps do not provide the "Always Allow" prompt, so I have to go in and search for the respective provider every time, which is annoying

    Hello @thimplicity! 👋

    I've split your post into a new thread in the iOS category since filling works differently on iOS than it does on Android. On the iPhone and iPad, AutoFill is specifically handled by iOS through an Apple feature named iOS Password AutoFill and 1Password only provides the data for the experience.

    Password AutoFill will match the apps that you use to your login items in 1Password by taking the associated domain associated with an app and comparing it against the website URL in your login items. If there is a match then Password AutoFill will offer to fill your login information.

    If you don't see Fill & Update Login when you search for and tap on a Login Item then it means that the developer of that app hasn't added an associated domain and there is nothing for Password AutoFill to use to match the app to a Login item in 1Password. This means that you'll need to continue to search for the correct Login item each time that you fill that item into the app.

    You can also contact the developer of an app to have them add a specific URL as an associated domain for their app so that you don't need to manually add another URL to your login items. Here is Apple's developer page regarding associated domains: Supporting Associated Domains | Apple Developer Documentation

    Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

    I hope it's okay if I piggyback onto this thread with a different but related problem:

    If I accidentally hit "Always Allow" for an app when I didn't mean to, is there a way to revoke that permission?

    @Mr_V

    Yep! Edit the item and remove the appropriate website address, or the app under Linked Apps (although that only matters on Android because of the differences in the autofill systems between iOS and Android).

    Oh! Now I feel dumb! 🤓

    That was really too easy. I was expecting something more involved! Thank you!
