Hello everyone! 👋

I'm sorry to hear that you're being prompted to enter your account password repeatedly into 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad. This is an issue that our developers are still investigating and I want to apologize for the continued inconvenience. As my colleague Tommy mentioned earlier, the following workaround helps some users:

  1. Open the 1Password 8 app.
  2. Tap on the account icon in the upper left corner and then tap Settings.
  3. Tap on Safari Extension.
  4. Tap on "Reauthorize After" and choose "1 Week".

As some have mentioned, this workaround doesn't help everyone. If you're still being prompted for your account password repeatedly after trying the steps that I've listed above then I recommend that you temporarily use Password AutoFill to fill and save your 1Password items until the issue is resolved. Our guide for enabling and using Password AutoFill can be found here: Use 1Password to fill and save in apps and browsers on your iPhone and iPad
