1. TBH, I don't remember what it was set to before I changed it.
2. No. But I did recently add Yubico security keys to my account, if that matters.

@markpoolemn

Thank you for the reply. I have a couple more questions to help narrow down on the issue:

1. When this issue last occurred, what was "Reauthorize After" set to before you changed it to "2 Weeks"?
2. Are you using a 1Password Business/Teams account with DUO MFA enabled by any chance?

Dave: Sorry for the confusion. I'm referring to the Safari browser in iOS/iPadIOS 16.4.1. I'm being prompted for my account password. When I open the browser on the phone, it always opens a new tab with a 1Password login screen. If I close the tab (or even close all tabs and restart Safari), it appears again next time I open (or switch to) the browser.

I was able to stop the behavior by:

1. Going into Settings and reconfiguring the 1Password app to reauthorize after 2 weeks, and
2. Clicking in More Settings to take me to the 1Password settings page in the browser, and extending the auto-lock setting for that device from 15 minutes to 300 minutes.

I'm not sure which of the above made it stop.

I have both Password Autofill enabled in iPhone Passwords (as this work across apps), and the 1Password for Safari extension enabled.

@markpoolemn

I'm sorry for the frustration. Can you please clarify what you mean when you say:

the extension wants me to login to 1Password every time I open Safari for any reason

Are you having to enter in your account password, Secret Key, and the email address associated with your 1Password account? Or are you just being prompted for your account password?

Can you also confirm whether you're using the 1Password for Safari browser extension to fill your logins or Password AutoFill? Descriptions of both are here:

• Password AutoFill
• 1Password for Safari

I look forward to hearing from you.

This issue is happening for me every time I open Safari - the extension wants me to login to 1Password every time I open Safari for any reason, including when all tabs are closed and I force-quit the browser. I have FaceID turned on and security keys enabled, so it seems it should be using FaceID to authenticate me, not asking for a password.

I did go into More Settings on the device and extended the auto-lock setting for the device from 15 minutes to 300 minutes. I also have the 1Password app set to reauthorize after 2 weeks. Even if this works, it is not really a fully acceptable workaround, as it does lessen security. I don't mind being asked to reauthenticate after 15 minutes (using FaceID) if I am trying to log into a site using 1Password, but not every time I open Safari. This only started for me after updating to iOS 16.4.1 AFAIK.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16.4.1, current 1Password 8.

Thanks kamare

I've got you penciled in for the reported behavior, inside our tracker.

Same issue.

Thank you for reporting the issue and for your patience.
