#ME-271 feedback: Inline menu hidden in Safari on iOS when system AutoFill is enabled

Hello,

I recently noticed that a lot of login forms were no longer showing the 1Password drop-down to select a credential. I believe it is related to this change referenced in the title.

Simply put, I prefer the browser extension to select credentials for logging in. It handles OTP codes faster and easier than the system autofill in iOS/iPadOS. Instead, using the system autofill requires extra taps, needlessly populates the clipboard with OTP codes, and generates notifications about the OTP being copied to the clipboard that I'm frequently needing to dismiss.

I'm not sure if this is something that can be made optional in the browser extension settings, but I strongly dislike this new behavior and hope that it will be reverted to the previous behavior, or at least made optional.

Thank you.

Hello @1bvr! 👋

Thank you for reaching out about this! When 1Password is set as your system autofill provider on iOS, the inline menu in the Safari extension is now hidden to prevent conflicts between the two filling experiences.

iOS 26 introduced enhancements to AutoFill, including support for strong password generation. This allows 1Password to integrate more deeply with iOS, enabling features like creating strong passwords and filling or saving login credentials directly through AutoFill on your iPhone and iPad.

At the same time, we’ve encountered conflicts between iOS AutoFill and the browser extension that don’t currently have a technical solution. We’re working closely with Apple to explore ways to resolve these issues in the future. In the meantime, we’re focusing on making native AutoFill on iOS the primary way to fill, while the Safari extension continues to provide additional capabilities beyond it.

That being said, our team is actively evaluating the situation and keeping an eye on everyone's feedback in order to determine the best path forward. Your experience will help shape how we move forward. We appreciate you taking the time to share it.

I'm sorry for the impact this has had on your use of 1Password. There are a few different issues being discussed in this thread, and I believe this is the first time you've posted here. Could you tell me a bit more about the specific issues that are impacting your personal workflow? That will help me confirm which issue, or issues, are affecting you and check for an update internally.

Really Dave??It's like you are a bit out of touch with things regarding this issue if you are asking questions like this when someone new posts.

Any movement on solutions to this regression in 1password (that you blamed on Apple)?

The native autofill is inferior in so many ways to the behavior of the extension. This is such a downgrade that I am seriously considering migrating to a different platform.

Primary issue, which is really the dealbreaker for me: extension dropdown logic was smart enough to remember recently or frequently used logins for a page. If I am on a page where there are many logins (I have a family plan and many items are shared with me, so there can be 8 or so logins for a website), the extension was smart enough to know which one to suggest. The native autofill seems to have no such functionality and just suggests using some archaic alphabetical or chronological order, because I am constantly having to close the login suggestion, tap the key icon then scroll to find the correct login. This is by far the worst downgrade of the change.

If I could disable native autofill on safari only so I can continue to use the extension login suggestions, I would but I cannot do so because there is no disable granularity. It’s OS-wide or nothing.

Please give us the option to use the extension dropdown / suggestions if we prefer. It’s not like that logic is going anywhere as it’s used in other extensions. Let the consumers choose!

Thank you.
