Safari Biometrics disabled? [SOLVED]
- Former Member
1P_Ben Thank you for your reply.
I thought iOS and iPadOS would be taken care of as a set, which is not the case this time.
I look forward to the turn of iPadOS to come around soon. - 1P_Ben

It is a work in progress for all devices. 🙏🏻

My iPad mini 5 with iPadOS 16.1 still requires me to type master password when I tap 1Password icon in the Safari's address bar. and so I understand the biometrics function is back with iOS 16.1, but not with iPadOS 16.1.
If I am correct, when it will come back to iPadOS ?
If I am wrong, which settings I should check ? - MirvRegular Contributor
iOS 16.1 is being released on Monday.

The auto filling is also asking me to type my password! It is not an exclusive issue or whatever they call security bla bla bla of safari extension.

iOS 16.1 will have new APIs available that should enable Safari Web Extensions (including ours) to work with the native biometric functions, rather than having to rely on WebAuthn. We're actively working to make the changes necessary on our end, but it won't be possible without iOS 16.1.

Same on my iPad Pro which is on the 16.1 beta. FaceID works in the 1Password app fine, but the Safari extension no longer offers FaceID, it just asks for the passphrase.

I have set and reset FaceID and it works to unlock my phone. 1Password is not listed in the list of apps using FaceID in the iPhone Security settings, even after deleting 1Password app and re-installing. I have tried shutting FaceID off and back on both in 1Password and iPhone settings. Any idea how to get it working again?
