On iOS/Safari how do I stop 1Password suggesting to save passwords filled out by 1Password

This is starting to drive me nuts.

In the last couple days or so, whenever I use the login autofill function in Safari, the one above the keyboard, I get a popup asking to save the password in 1Password. That is, the login I have just filled out using 1Password, I am being asked to save in 1Password. This dialog:

No setting I can find gets rid of the popup. I have tried disabling the 1Password Safari extension but this doesn't seem to be involved at all. I have looked through the 1Password app but can't find any option that gets rid of it. I have also tried disabling the "suggest strong passwords" features in iOS settings, but it doesn't get rid of it either.

Only times I don't get the popup is when the 1Password Safari extension decides to work, which is perhaps about half the time, and actually shows the little 1Password icon in the login fields, allowing me to select the login.

If I manually open the 1Password Safari extension and select autofill, I get another dialog asking to update the password instead, despite the fact the password and login URL are already present and recognized by 1Password, at least so far as the autofill is concerned.

This is on iOS 26.4 using Safari. 1Password app version is 8.12.10.

Hello folks! 👋

I'm sorry that you're seeing an unexpected prompt asking you to save login credentials that you just filled. We've reproduced this issue on our end as well and have identified this as a bug in iOS AutoFill (the iOS functionality that 1Password uses to save and fill passwords on iPhone and iPad). The issue can occur when filling from 1Password using either iOS AutoFill (the prompt above the keyboard) or from our Safari extension.

We've reported the issue to our friends at Apple and hopefully it will be resolved soon in a future update to iOS. For the time being, you can tap Not Now to dismiss the prompt if you haven't updated your login credentials. I'm sorry for the confusion caused.

Nope, thought I had it fixed but not anyway.

I have this issue as well. Why is it offering to save passwords in one password when I just used 1Password to log in.

That is so annoying. 1Password is literally asking you to save the password you just "auto filled" for the website.

While I have your attention; contemplating using the built-in MacOS password manager now that you can share among devices and users. Any reason why that would be a bad idea?

In my opinion, there are two serious considerations that recommend against using the Apple password manager. First, an Apple legacy contact cannot access saved passwords, complicating end-of-life planning; and second, all passwords become inaccessible in the event that the user's Apple Account becomes locked.

Hello @wildball4683, @theengine, @jackboxnapkin, and @CrazyToro! 👋

I'm sorry that you're seeing an unexpected prompt when filling your login credentials using 1Password in Safari on iOS. So that I can look into this further can you please try the following:

Open Safari and navigate to any webpage.
Tap on the page setting icon in the address bar and then tap 1Password.
The 1Password popover will open.
Tap on the more option button next to the key icon (it looks like three horizontal lines), then tap Lock.
Tap on the page setting icon in the address bar and then tap 1Password. Unlock 1Password.

Then try to fill your login credentials again using AutoFill: Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad

Do you see the same issue? If you do then can you please provide the address of the website where you're seeing the issue so that I can test on my end?

I'm sorry that the steps didn't work. Are you filling your login credentials from the AutoFill prompt above your keyboard:

Or are you filling your credentials using the Safari browser extension? And, even if you see the issue on all websites, can you share just one website where you can currently reproduce the issue on so that I can take a look?

This issue, as well as others, is reported in this thread

https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/me-271-feedback-inline-menu-hidden-in-safari/168853

May I suggest that any queries here are pointed to this thread instead of making suggestions that are irrelevant in view of the contents of this thread.
