As of September 2021, 1Password 7 for iOS has included the 1Password for Safari web extension and you would have been presented with the same permission prompt if you were using 1Password for Safari with 1Password 7. As Jack mentioned, 1Password for Safari on iOS functions in the same way that 1Password in the browser on desktop browsers does in regards to browser permissions. The 1Password extension requires access to your browsing history in order to know which website you're visiting so that it knows which login item to suggest.

You can certainly use Password AutoFill with 1Password 8. Follow these steps:

  1. On the Home screen of your iPhone, tap Settings.
  2. Tap Passwords > AutoFill Passwords.
  3. Turn on AutoFill Passwords.
  4. Select 1Password.

Then try to fill your login using this guide: Use 1Password to fill and save on your iPhone and iPad

I hope that helps. 😊
