FaceID not available in IOS Safari Extension (version8)

Thanks, @1P_Ben ! So let's wait for iOS 16.1. 😉

@1P_Ben Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated. But why does Safari 1Password Extension ask for the master password every time? Can't it honor the setting to only ask every 2 weeks etc.?

I read that Face ID has been disabled temporarily due to a change on apples end, but im noticing that it seems that the extension is flat out ignoring your remembered login time.

Once Safari is closed (either manually close the app or it gets offloaded from memory due to another program) it will require reauthorization, and it will not try to use Face ID anymore (since its been disabled), only prompting for the password.

The first time your open it after closing it will look as if its still logged in and opens the window, but you will notice there is no login suggestions for the site your on even if there normally would be. And if you back out and try to open it again it will now ask for the login (no Face ID, it treats it as a first login after fresh boot).

Is this also part of the change that disabled Face ID or is this a bug? It’s happening on both my iOS 16 iPhone and iOS 15 iPad.

1Password Version: 8.9.7
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: IOS 15&16
Browser:_ Safari

@1P_Ben do we know if the current extension only staying signed in for that session regardless of your selected time/day range (until force closed, or unloaded from memory by something else) is a side effect of this change, or is that currently a bug?

@BaronKrause (I've merged your other comment into this thread as well) and @Mirv

1Password for Safari asking for your account password repeatedly is an issue that our developers are investigating and hope to fix in a future update. I'm sorry that you're affected and I've added your reports to the internal work item for the issue.

As a temporary workaround, you can use Password AutoFill to fill and save your logins: Use 1Password to fill and save in apps and browsers on your iPhone and iPad

There are no temporary work around a this literally makes no sense as 1Password 7 doesn’t have this issue? It’s time to get it fixed xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for the information/update @1P_Ben . For me the best approach has been to disable the extension and just set iOS password keeper to use 1Password.

Biometrics works, and although you don’t get the nice drop down options right on the webpage fields, I’m not entering my master password 100 times a day. I’ll use this workaround until the extension is figured out. :)

“set iOS password keeper to use 1Password”

How do you do this?

.

Hello folks,

1Password for iOS/iPadOS 8.9.7 was just released and brings back biometric unlock to 1Password for Safari:

You can now use Face ID and Touch ID to unlock 1Password in Safari after updating to iOS 16.1 or later. #17988

I recommend that you update using the App Store. You can find our guide on how to update here: How to keep 1Password up to date

You'll also need to update to iOS / iPadOS 16.1 or later: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (CA)

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while the team worked to resolve this issue. 🙂
