1password Extension unlock biometrics?
Hi guys , is there a way to unlock the shiny new iOS safari extension via faceid or touchid. Thanks a lot

Forgive me, but I’m not getting the point of this new Safari extension (and I don’t get the point on my desktop either). Before the extension, I had to use TouchID each time I logged in to a website. Now I (anyone?) can log into any website on my phone without needing biometrics or the master password.
How is this secure? Enabling the extension allows anyone to log in. Switching off the extension obviously prevents this, but again this can easily be switched back on by anyone who knows about the extension. I have no way of removing the function completely.
My concern is that, although I use TouchID to unlock my phone, my phone can also be unlocked with the passcode (which is what my children do to play games). But no-one could log into websites as they couldn’t unlock 1Password. Now the extension is present, you don’t need biometrics or TouchID and can simply log in.
Am I missing something?
