Hi @mdj1

There was a change made by Apple in iOS 16 which meant that 1Password couldn't use Face ID or Touch ID in the Safari extension in the right way, so we've had to temporarily turn it off. It looks like iOS 16.1 contains further changes which mean that we can bring it back, so our development team are currently working on reimplementing it. It's not just a case of turning it back on, unfortunately – we need to make it work a different way – so it's taking a bit of work to do. There's no ETA just yet, but it's a very high priority for the development team and I'm hoping we will have something to announce pretty soon.

As you've found, using iOS's built-in Password AutoFill like you do in other apps will serve as a workaround for the time being. With any luck, it won't be for long. :)
