Question

Master Password required for every autofill

I'm using an ipad as a universal remote for my Home Theatre. Everyone who uses the home theatre needs access so I don't want any passwords to use the ipad. I have my password on 1Password so no-one else can access that. I assume the lack of password/finger print security on the ipad is the reason I have to enter the master password for every auto fill. Is there a work around?

Hello @enauf! 👋

When filling a login into another app, 1Password uses iOS AutoFill and requires that you unlock each time so that someone else can't fill your passwords without your awareness.

Modern iPads support either Touch ID or Face ID which allow you to unlock 1Password more conveniently than using your account password each time:

I hope that helps!
