Safari Extension Started Asking For Password For Every Auto Fill [SOLVED]

.
I've been using 1P8 for some time without any auto fill issues. All of a sudden today, the iOS Safari Extension started wanting me to manually enter my password for an auto fill anytime Safari was closed and re-opened. I've always had the "Authorize After" Safari Extension setting set to "1 Week".
I tried disabling the Safari Extension, rebooting the phone and reenabling the Safari Extension. I then tried disabling auto fill on both 1P8 and iOS settings, rebooting the phone and then reenabling. Neither of which worked. I ended up having to completely uninstall and reinstall of 1P8, which was annoying, and that worked.
Is there anything else that can be done if this happens again? Is this a known issue?
1Password Version: 8.9.3
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 15.6.1
Browser:_ Safari

What happened to the company I used to know? This needs to be fixed now. You’ve gotten distracted chasing money on the markets and focusing on big enterprise features and making life easy for yourselves by using the worst tool (electron) rather than tuning for each platform. You’ve degraded the product and diluted your development team. Please bring back basic functions like biometrics so the product just works as intended. Only then play with the rest. I am so disappointed. We pay subscription fees to support ongoing maintenance and development and get this??!!

Bonjour,
J'ai le même problème de non fonctionnement du remplissage automatique des logins et mots de passe pour Safari au moyen de Touch ID depuis mon passage à 1Password 8.J'utilise un iPad de 4 ième génération sous IOS 16 (c'était identique sous IOS 15).
A chaque recherche de mots de passe, 1Password pour Safari n'utilise pas Touch ID mais exige mon mot de passe général de 1Password.
J'ai recherché les changement de réglages à faire, sans que cela change quoi que ce soit.Savez-vous corriger ce dysfonctionnement?
Merci pour votre aide.

same with us, several iPhones, always asking for password. btw. I don't understand this crazy security item. Why can't I type "never" for new authorization?

Hey there 👋 Found this thread via the “Feedback & Support” button in the iOS app’s “Help” page.
The Safari Extension malfunctioning is not ideal, but the workaround (using the 🔑 autofill interface) is not worse than how 1Password 7 worked.
All web extensions are in-flux, Chrome & Safari are diverging more than ever, and neither Apple nor Google are always super clear about breaking changes to existing APIs or how to reimplement replacements to deprecated ones.
1Password 8, even with this hiccup, is a superior experience relative to every other alternative, and their team works really hard to keep the web safe, and is one of very few companies providing a genuinely valuable service at a fair price.
I, for one, appreciate their team monitoring the activity here & chiming in, and I’m sure they all would appreciate more patience & grace from all of us – if the fix were easy & obvious, they’d have shipped it, and no doubt they will ASAP. 🧡

I just don’t understand why no email or statement or whatever about this couldn’t have gone out. Why do I have to scour this forum to find out that the product is fundamentally broken for the foreseeable future due to Apple changes, it’s not just some temporary bug from a fubar update? I know transparency has never been high on the team’s priorities, but come on. An email, an in-app notice, pop-up something surely was warranted!
Also I tried downgrading to 1P7, same issue…

I’m running iOS 16.2. Give me a break. Surely this could be fixed already.

Can anyone from 1P tell me why I have both these issues even when I am still on iOS 15.7? With the old operating system I should not have lost the functionality!

Like @froggywill said, being able to fill from Safari seems like a pretty fundamental feature of 1P for iOS. It's been causing me a-lot of frustration and friction.
I'm just not really sure how 4 months after iOS16 became available to developers, there still isn't even a workaround in place (like a special 1P passcode, rather than iOS biometrics, etc).
Even now that iOS16.1 offers some hope... the beta for that has been available to developers for over 6 weeks... and yet still no update on if/when they'll be able to restore biometrics; and respect the unlock timer.
As much as I've always loved 1P, this latest release and the transparency/response-timing around issues like this are definitely making it feel like their push for universal platform support with 1P8 is going to increasingly spread their resources too thin to deliver a great experience on any one platform.

GreyM1P iOS 16 has been available to you since June. iOS 16.1 since 9/14. It’s not like it dropped on you without warning. You had plenty of time to fix what seems to be one of the “main” feature of 1P.
Anyone else here, contact support and ask for a refund for each months it’s not been working. It’ll take you 1 minute if work. The more people ask for actual money, the better and the faster that will become an actual priority…
