Location services? [Due to 1Browser as a web browser that can handle geo-location calls]

I recently discovered that there are options to use location services or not for 1Password on my iPhone. What purpose would location services serve for the app?

    Hi @hawkmoth,

    None for the core app, it's the 1Browser side that requests it since it is a web browser with support for geo-location that many sites uses.

    Can you please assist me with locating where to turn on location services on my iphone 5s? Right now, I cannot find my location in the 1Password Web Browser, and there is nothing in the iphone settings to allow location to be turned on for 1Password. Thanks

    Good morning @Leatherman‌. On your iPhone if you open up the Settings.app and tap on Privacy > Location Services you will see a list of apps that have requested to access your location. If a website that you've viewed in 1Browser within 1Password has requested access to your location then 1Password should appear in that list. Let me know if this helps or if there's anything else we can do for you.

    Hello @MrRooni‌ ..
    1Password is not showing in Location Services under Privacy. I have no issues determining my location in the Safari Browser for the same sites. Just in the 1Password Browser.

    What version of iOS and what version of 1Password do you have?

    Thanks. On my iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1 & 1Password 5.1.1 I also do not see 1Password listed under location services, and browsing to a website that uses location data (such as Google Maps) does not produce a prompt. I'm going to file a bug with our developers.

    I might add that I am using an iPad 3 (not the Air or Air 2). And I just tried to locate myself on my iPhone 5S in google maps in 1Password Browser and it cannot determine my location. But it works in Safari
