1Password cannot autofill Google credentials

Hi @honumael - thanks for taking the time to report this issue.

When you autofill using either the "🔑 Passwords” button or the suggestions that appear directly above your keyboard, it's iOS Password AutoFill, rather than 1Password, that handles the actual filling process.

We've seen a few reports of iOS Password AutoFill failing to autofill usernames into sign-in forms that are split over two pages in third-party browsers. I'd recommend keeping iOS up to date in anticipation of a fix for this issue.

In the meantime, you could consider setting a text replacement shortcut in iOS for your username or email address, using the Apple support guide linked below. As an example, I have mine set up so typing @@ fills my home email address, while typing @@@ fills my secondary email address:

Let me know how you get on with the above and I'll be here to help if you have any questions. 🙂

Hello @Kester_D_1P

So that means it's completely out of 1Password's hand, right?

The text replacement shortcut would probably be a nice fix for most users. Unfortunately, I've made extensive use of Fastmail's masked email addresses feature, as well as my custom domain email addresses. Every website I'm on has a different email address - that's why 1Password is so valuable with its autofill.

Essentially so, yes. Password AutoFill, which is part of iOS, is the thing that's detecting and filling forms and 1Password can offer to pass on the relevant information, but only when (and if!) Password AutoFill asks for it. As in, if Password AutoFill never asks 1Password for your email address, it can't be autofilled.

We have found that Safari can handle these two-page sign-in forms better than third-party browsers – even when you're not using the 1Password Safari extension – which suggests that Safari may have something of a "home advantage" on iOS that other browsers don't get.

The text replacement method that Kester suggested is probably about as close as you'll get to a workaround unless that changes, but as you mentioned, Masked Email addresses make this a bit more of a chore. In that case, you'll probably have to Copy and fill passwords into apps that don't work with 1Password.

I hope that explains things fully, but please do let me know if I can be of any further help. :)
