1Password for Safari asking for password every time on iOS 16.1 or later
This discussion was created from comments split from: Safari Extension Started Asking For Password For Every Auto Fill [SOLVED].
Changing the "reauthorize" to 1 week didn't make any difference. The second Safari quits or gets "paused" by iOS in the background, 1P extensions wants me to type in the password again.
The extensions is more or less useless at this point. At least the system wide "autofill" integrated with 1Password autofill the passwords, but the extension is just locked most of the time.
Unacceptable by the dev team to allow this to sit unfixed for 4-5 months like this.
Yea, I’m all out of patience. 4-5 months is too long; it’s not a minor inconvenience. Either they don’t have the ability, or they’re not making it a priority. And meanwhile we’re paying subscription fees! I’m going to take a Saturday and migrate everything back to keychain and see how that goes for awhile. From the user’s perspective it just needs to work, or we need a temporary fix that makes it usable until the solution is found. None of this is happening.
This issue is still periodically reoccurring. It’s been 7 times now. . . I think. The whole 1P8 debacle is all becoming a bit of a blur at this point. What is the status on this issue? We’re now heading into month 4 here for this bug, which is frankly unacceptable.

iOS 16.2FaceID allows me to log into the app. The iOS extension requires me to manually type in the password EVERY SINGLE TIME i want to use the extension. It's been like this for months. I'm fed up.
I'm gonna try setting the "reauthorize" to 1 week (I have it set to 2 weeks like most here have reported) and see if that helps, but having said that....
1) Developers, you need to fix this now. It's been months, this is getting ridiculous. We're paying monthly perpetually for an app to make password managing and autofilling easier, but as of now Apple Keychain works better in Safari than your extension.
2) Whatever happened to FaceID inside the extension? It existed for a short while and then it dissappeared. I want it back, I don't care if I have to Authorize for every website as long as I can use FaceID, but manually typing my long random character password every time. Jesus christ...
3) Also, maybe allow us to set "never" under reauthorize extension. 1 week and 2 weeks (if it'll ever work again) is too short of a time. I don't care about the security issues I'm exposing myself to. No one has access to my phone but me, and im not a person of hacking interest.
This topic is discussing both biometric and password entry issues so I’m a bit confused. Maybe they’re related at a lower level but thought I’d describe my experience so I can help with a diagnostic report if warranted. I’m using a new iPad bought a few weeks before Christmas. The first iPadOS version installed was v16.1.1.
- Once logged into the 1Password app I stayed logged in for the set time or the app is closed.
- In Safari I must enter a password for every website.
I’ve reinstalled the app but that didn’t help, even temporarily. Thanks for any guidance on this.

IPad Pro, IPadOS 16.21P_Dave reinstalling was a short lived temporary fix me. I have not continued to repeatedly reinstall.

If reinstalling the app on your iOS device didn't resolve the issue (even temporarily) then it's possible that you're running into a different issue than the rest of the users in this thread. If you can, please send in a diagnostics report using the instructions that I posted above so that the team can investigate further.

I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying 1Password. 😊
In general, I don't recommend saving your 1Password account password anywhere (including the Keychain). Your account password should be the one password that you memorize and don't save anywhere else (aside from your Emergency Kit.
