Can't use passcode on iOS 16.3 to authenticate 1Password

I don't want to enable Face ID for authentication of 1Password so I can choose the password for login wherever I need to. It always asks me for my master password and it's a bit long typing that in everytime. Am I missing a setting in iOS perhaps or this is a bug with 1Password?


1Password Version: 8.9.7

Hello @occasionallymild! 👋

The ability to use a PIN code to unlock 1Password for iOS is coming soon: Building a Better, More Useful 1Password

I hope that helps! 😊

Hi @1P_Dave I can see this feature was released yesterday however I only see this working if I go directly to the 1Password app. It doesn't work if I want to fill in my credentials on a web browser on my phone. When I select 1Password to put in my details it still asks me for my master password. Is there a way to turn the passcode feature on for filling in?

Did you input your password once after making the change? That would be needed. The next time you should see something like this. Tap the keypad looking icon on the right-hand side of the password screen to input your pin code.

@1P_Tommy Yep I have, I did the prompt that in order to use the passcode I have to input my password first. So now whenever I open the 1Password app I can just input my passcode. However this is not reflected on username and password forms on websites. I still have to put in my master password.

Oh, I was thinking password autofill. Are you using 1Password for Safari? Thanks for confirming.

Thanks @occasionallymild

I do not experience that with Brave. Can you confirm that you have password autofill enabled? Use 1Password to fill and save on your iPhone and iPad We might need to get you into email support for additional troubleshooting. As a test can you restart the device to see if that clears any cobwebs?
