3 years ago1Password won't fill in login fields on iOS
iPhone 11, iOS 16.3.1, 1Password 8.10.0. (Though this hasn't worked for at least a year.) I don't know where I can find the 1Password extension version, and I don't have any other extensions enabled....

1Password for Safari on iOS functions in the same way that 1Password in the browser on desktop browsers does in regards to browser permissions. The 1Password extension requires access to your browsing history in order to know which website you're visiting so that it knows which login item to suggest. Without this permission 1Password for Safari wouldn't know which website's login information to suggest and fill into the browser. You can read more about browser permissions here: About 1Password browser permissions

Also, when I turned on Autofill Passwords in the iOS Settings, it asked me for my 1Password account password. Is this a security concern? I don't want my 1Password account password saved anywhere; I want to type it in whenever it's needed. Am I able to have this while still allowing autofill?
When you enable Password AutoFill for 1Password you'll be prompted for your account password to finish the setup process and to be given a chance to modify AutoFill settings from inside of the 1Password app. Your account password isn't saved anywhere as part of this process.
