Question

Limitation of 1Password Autofill?

I had been reluctant to use Autofill. First of all, it seems that on iOS and Android, the 1Password Extension wouldn’t work on Android as the Extension doesn’t exist there?

On iOS it works on Safari and not other Browsers, I think Orion Browser has 1Password built in. But not Chrome and Firefox… each Browser has its own Autofill.

There may appear to be limitations. How does 1Password Autofill fill many sites which separate the Login and the Password on different pages? For example Google and others.

Hello ​@wkleem! 👋

Thank you for the questions! 1Password in the browser (our browser extension) is available for supported desktop browsers, as well as Safari on iPhone and iPad. When it comes to other browsers on iOS, and Android, you can indeed use native AutoFill: 

How does 1Password Autofill fill many sites which separate the Login and the Password on different pages? For example Google and others.

It will largely depend on the website, but in general, AutoFill should fill in your login credentials without issue. On some sites, that separate the username and password onto two different pages, you may need to enter your username and password separately with two taps.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks. 
 

I have noticed now 6 Digit PIN Codes being sent to email instead of the sites asking for the Username and Password which is quicker. 

It may or may not be less secure? Copy and Paste, No need for Autofill…

​@wkleem 

If you’ve chosen to have a password sent to your email address then 1Password isn’t involved with that process. However, anyone who manages to gain access to your email will be able to sign-in to that website. And it can be less convenient to have to check your email for a password, or a magic link, to sign-in rather than just having 1Password fill your password or sign you in using a passkey. 

Having a password sent to your email address is similar to having a magic link sent to your email address, we have an article here comparing magic links and passkeys that you might find interesting: Passkeys vs. magic links: What are the differences?
