Authelia 2FA won't autofill on IOS

I have an authelia site with the authenticator string installed in 1password. When I log in using a desktop web browser the 2fa 6 digit code will autofill. But on my iphone nothing happens at the 6 digit code prompt. I have to open 1password app and find the entry to copy the current code which is being generated there. Or use google authenticator. Is this expected that 1password won't autofill 2fa on IOS?

It sounds as if you'll need to paste the code in. We can help with that by auto copying it to the pasteboard for you.

Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

If you aren’t using Safari, you can automatically copy one-time passwords to the clipboard after filling a login. Open and unlock 1Password, then tap Settings > Password AutoFill and turn on Auto-Copy One-Time Passwords.

Doh, @1P_Tommy nailed it. I did not have it enabled on IOS :-). It seems it doesn't actually fill, it just copies it to the clipboard, but that's hugely better. Thanks!
