1Password for Safari asking for password every time on iOS 16.1 or later

1P_Dave is this ever going to get fixed? The timer is still not working and having to enter password all the time.

How did you install from TestFlight?

Just submitted a diagnostic report, after doing that I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app (from TestFlight) and it now works as expected in the extension.

I've added everyone's reports to the work item open for the issue. I'm sorry that you're being prompted for your account password more often than expected when using 1Password for Safari. If possible, please try the workaround suggested by hegguardo above:

• Fully close all Safari windows/sessions
• Open the main 1P8 app
• Manually lock the main 1P8 app
• Unlock the main 1P8 app with manual entry of master password (not biometrics)
• Open Safari and biometric/persistent unlocking of the 1P8 extension has returned

If you're being prompted for your account password by the main 1Password app (not just 1Password for Safari) then you're likely affected by a different issue than the one being discussed in this thread. Our developers are working on this issue as well and I've forwarded your report to them.

I'm having the same issue with iPhone SE with touch ID. Every time I need to use a password, every time I open the app, it requires me to enter the master password... and that is super annoying because a) I use a complex pw, and b) because I'm paying for a subscription that's supposed to make pw management easier if not transparent –– but it's a royal PITA. I tried the recommended steps and what I accomplished is that the touch ID request now pops up before it requires my password. I end up having to reenter the pw dozens of time a day!

I do not need this level of security. My phone stays locked and the only way anyone can even get to my apps is with my phone's passcode or my thumbprint, which is to say they cannot. So once I'm in, there is no need to keep authenticating. That's the way 1P used to work was it not? Similar to the Keychain app? Easy. So how do I turn off this useless authentication requirement that no longer works?

We’re all tired of this. Who can offer a better alternative to 1Password?

Fully close all Safari windows/sessions
Open the main 1P8 app
Manually lock the main 1P8 app
Unlock the main 1P8 app with manual entry of master password (not biometrics)
Open Safari and biometric/persistent unlocking of the 1P8 extension has returned

hegguardo These steps worked for me when this issue reoccurred for me (again).

1P_Dave 1P_Ben I’m so sick and tired of dealing with this issue. Are the developers at least aware that this is STILL ongoing? What is being done? This is the 4th time (I think. . . I’m losing track to be honest) that this has reoccurred for me.

I’ve spent more time in these forums in the last few months than during my entire 7 years as a 1P customer due to these lingering quality issues with 1P8. I’m about out of patience at this point.

Oh god, the issue is already here. I’m TIRED @1Password.

Can someone suggest an alternative password manager to this one? I am so tired of this BS and nothing changes.
