Just a quick bit of feedback from the latest release!

Edit: I’m on an iPhone. I’m sure this update for an iPad is exceptional.

Positives:
- sites with multiple logins are now an absolute breeze to handle

  • Changing passwords, especially using smart passwords is much easier and now really intuitive. I’ve changed a few passwords just to test it out in a matter of minutes!

Negatives:
- Unlocking the extension is not a great experience. Took me a little while to realise you have to click “Aa”, press 1password, biometrics, then continue. I don’t know the technicalities but can you not click the locked 1password icon in the input field to prompt an unlock? Similar to macOS?

  • Nit picking here, but when my device is on dark mode, safari obviously doesn’t set the background to dark, but the 1password extension mirrors the current system setting. So you end up having safari in “light mode” and the extension pop up in dark mode.

  • I set my 1password previously to require a Face ID / master password to fill any password. In case my devices passcode was compromised (otherwise a failed biometric would allow the device passcode to auto fill). Is there anything in the pipeline to enable a similar setup with the extension? I’d much rather have the option to authenticate with Face ID / master password for every initial auto fill. I also have auto lock on my phone disabled so authenticating every login rather than being unlocked for x amount of time of inactivity is better for me.

  • For sites with multiple logins, if you selected the wrong one, clicking the 1password icon in the input field does nothing, doesn’t pop the account selector back up again.
    Edit: It does, but only if the keyboard is visible and you long press the 1password icon. Not great.

Other:

  • Now the extension in enabled, do we disable the auto fill in settings, passwords, auto fill? Now the in line menu appears with accounts as well as the ribbon(?) above the keyboard. I don’t know if this messes with auto fill in apps rather than safari.

I’m sure there’s more positives! I just haven’t come across them yet. Great work though 😃

Tl;dr for this thread,

  • Fix the 5 step unlock on iPhone

  • Enable Face ID authentication for each login
    Edit: for me this implementation isn’t an issue on macOS, as you have support to switch user or switch to guest if someone else was using your computer. This isn’t an option on iOS right now if some has access to you iPhone, through being trusted or someone knowing your passcode.
    And unlocking the extension in macOS isn’t a hassle.

The extra steps and less secure login means many users won’t use this feature, which is a shame, as this has so much potential.
Edit: in its current form, I wont use the extension, i would rather use the auto fill, that authenticates through 1password, using Face ID or master password
