Yes, I do everyday a "Delete Website Data" clickā¦

Actually, I wonder now if you are referring to the new extension in iOS 15, I mistakenly assumed you were referring to Autofill, sorry! I am not aware of a way to do this at the moment. Just so our developers can understand the scenario better, do you manually delete website data every day in iOS?

The iOS extension works directly with the 1Password app, so even if you delete the cookies in Safari, that won't impact the way you authenticate to the 1Password app :+1:

The login seems to be lost after deleting your cookies (=website data) in the Safari iOS browser, so you have to relogin with your master password. Is there any way for the 1pw extension to preserve them?

At present the ID is the only available option, but hopefully other options will be made available to us in the future. :+1:

1P_Ben would be good, Iām seeing the same. Show an UUID looks more suspicious then it raises trust, to be honest I canāt determine wether UUID is from a virus or malware or the lovely 1password. I totally fail here not being able to identify this š

Some additional information on the UUID:
The ID shown on the lock screen should match the ID shown on the biometric prompt. This allows folks to confirm that the biometric request has come from 1Password. We hope in a future iOS update we might just see "1Password" there, rather than an ID, but this was what was available to us for this initial launch. :)

Yes, that does indeed look/sound correct to me. I'm working on getting an explanation for the UUID component, but I can confirm it is supposed to be there.

Thanks for the feedback on that telephoneman2. I'll chat with our folks and see if there is a way we can make it more obvious without causing even further confusion.
