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
more_cowbell set the timer to 1 week and you should be OK. Just make sure you've disabled the V8 extension too.
We could really use an update on where this timer issue stands.
I reverted back too version 7 with both the extension and auto fill…still having to constantly enter my password for the extension. I did not remove version 8 however.
Thank you, Dave. I’ve reverted back to Autofill until this is resolved.
I’m downgrading to 1Password 7 till this gets fixed (and maybe longer)…I think this is the first time I’ve ever downgraded anything. I’ve been a happy paying subscriber of 1Password for years (maybe even a decade?), and I’m generally an enthusiastic beta tester, but 1Password 8 is just a worse user experience on both platforms. Used to be a seamless password assistant; now it’s seamful.
Ah, thanks for the Autofill workaround suggestion. That seems to work for me to get around this for now. There sure are a lot of threads about this! I'm happy to see that 1Password knows that this is a problem, and has a plan to fix it.
I have this issues as well; not surprising. It is VERY VERY annoying especially since my "1Password" is purposely very long and full f mixed case letters, numbers and special symbols. Not enjoying the experience.
On the plus side, at least it is not me or my phone, as I feared it was!
The timer issue is the bigger issue (IMO) than the biometrics functionality. I can deal with entering a password once every week or two weeks. Why do these issues need to be "solved together"?
For now, I'll just continue using v7.
