Hello khaosspawn! 👋

On the iPad AutoFill is specifically handled by iOS through an Apple feature named iOS Password AutoFill and 1Password only provides the data for the experience. Before we continue can you make sure that Password AutoFill is setup to work with 1Password:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap General > AutoFill & Passwords.
  3. Turn on AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys.
  4. Select 1Password.

Then try to fill your login again using this guide: Use 1Password to fill and save on your iPhone and iPad

If that still doesn’t work then can you tell me if you’re able to fill into any other apps on your iPad? If you can’t then can you provide me with the name of a specific app where filling isn’t working so that I can test it on my end? Please make sure not to send me any usernames or passwords, just the app name.
