Just my input about some of the people commenting that 1Password/AgileBits should have accounted for this while iOS 16 was still in beta, etc., and how they don't have the users' backs.
If the API they use was modified to have lowered security than what AgileBits was comfortable with their app/users using (because it would potentially put user data at risk), unless Apple changed the API again to appease AgileBits, I don't get what you expect AgileBits to do about it short of lowering their standards and agreeing to put user data at risk, or magically create their own API that somehow becomes a part of iOS 16. So, from my perspective, they absolutely DO have the collective backs of the users by refusing to use an inferior API from a security standpoint.
That all being said, I too am upset about the lack of the biometrics in the Safari extension because of the other things it took away in removing it.
