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

So the fixed release is only in test flight at the moment?

The new version of 1P8 fixed the Safari biometrics and timer issues. I’m glad these are now fixed but I’ll say again that there really needs to be greater transparency between support staff and the user base.

tortugonal I see the new version release to test flight. Starting to give it a try now.

I see that there is a new version just released that reportedly fixes these problems. I’ve downloaded it and will try. It’s been way too long coming, but I look forward to getting back on track.

What joy!
A couple of days ago I reverted to 1Password7 on my iPad, iPhone and Mac after months of trying to use 1Password8. No more issues with logging on every few minutes or using workarounds! No constant checking of the forums to see if there have been any updates on the issues. All three devices use older Apple OSs so no worry about new 1PW versions breaking something.
On all devices, 1Password7 works seamlessly, and is very familiar to me after many years of use. This is why i'm happy, no worries; can worry about other more important issues......
When my subscription is due for renewal, I'll be asking for a rebate as I will not be using new software, just the cloud facility. - Former Member
Also having this issue. Really damn annoying to hear it has been a long time and no fix yet.

Glad to see you working on this issue. Would just like to add that I would love for the extension to be unlocked as long as my app is unlocked, just like i can on windows and macOS. I see no reason to not let me have the exact same behaviour.

Which, again, is Apple Keychain and not what we are paying for

@frogywill – the Apple Keychain Manager fills OTPs perfectly. It automatically copies the OTP after it auto fills the login credentials.

In the meantime, you can use Password AutoFill (the "🔑 Passwords" button on the keyboard) to autofill in Safari just like you would in other browsers or apps.
Also that’s cute, but that’s providing the same functionality that’s built in iOS using Apple’s Keychain. That’s NOT what I am paying my 1P subscription for. For example it doesn’t fill in 2FA codes.
