PayPal 2FA

I am having serious troubles with 1password and PayPal 2FA. For a long time, the app didn't give me the option to auto-fill 2FA when login into the PayPal app on the latest iOS with the latest update...

Hello @noctooh! 👋

I'm sorry that you're having trouble with two-factor authentication in the PayPal app. On the iPhone and iPad, 1Password relies on iOS AutoFill to fill your username and password and AutoFill doesn't currently allow us to also fill your 2FA one-time password.

However you can have 1Password automatically copy your one-time password for an app or website 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)
