Constantly Asked for Master Password on iOS

I am unable to get iOS 8 to store the master password when using Safari on an iPhone 5c. Every website asks for the master password, regardless of the security settings.

I have attached a picture of my current settings. How do I allow 1Password to communicate with iCloud Keychain (yes, it's enabled).

    The settings you have in that screenshot would require your Master Password (vs a PIN) each time you use the 1Password extension in Safari. If you'd rather use a PIN, leave all of the other settings as you have them and then turn on the PIN code option. Note that after 10 minutes of not using 1Password you'll be asked for your Master Password again (you can adjust this with the "auto-lock" setting).

    1Password does not communicate with iCloud Keychain. It communicates with the iOS keychain, which is a very different thing.

    How can we disable the master password entirely? I liked the old way of just entering the PIN (or using my fingerprint). My iPhone is secured by its own PIN and backups are encrypted, so I don't need this master password question every time I switch to the app (which is often during a sign in).

    It is not possible to disable the Master Password. You can adjust your security settings in 1Password > Settings > Security.
