Hello sntplnt! 👋

1Password uses the iOS native filling feature to fill your username and password into apps, this feature doesn't support filling one-time passwords. However you can have 1Password automatically copy your one-time password for PayPal to the clipboard so that you can paste it into the app when filling your login information:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password 8.
  2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings.
  3. Tap AutoFill.
  4. Turn on "Copy One-Time Passwords".
  5. Go back to Settings.
  6. Tap Notifications.
  7. Turn on "One-Time Passwords".

Then fill a username/password into the app again. You should see a notification that 1Password has copied the one-time password to your clipboard. You can then paste the one-time password into the app: Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

When it comes to the website you can use our extension for Safari which does have the ability to fill the one-time password: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad

I hope that helps! 🙂
