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.

Hi @wkleem, I’m sorry for the inconvenience this is causing. At the moment you can tap Not Now to safely dismiss the prompt each time you see it, although I understand that this is far from ideal.

@1P_Gem That was what I was doing before I found this discussion.

Hi @wkleem, thanks for your reply! I’m sorry that we’re not able to offer a better workaround at this time.

Is there a way to stop it from happening? I’m on iOS and iPadOS 27.0.1. I still see the annoying Popups.

@wkleem

iOS 27 includes improvements intended to reduce how often you’re incorrectly prompted to save your login credentials after filling them. However, we’re aware that this issue can still occur in certain situations. Hopefully, future versions of iOS will include further improvements.

Can you tell me a little more about where you’re seeing the prompts now:

Which app are you filling into?
How specifically are you filling? From the prompt above the keyboard? From the prompt from 1Password for Safari? From the 1Password for Safari pop-up?

For example for this website, I’m seeing this. I don’t use 1Password for Safari. I may have installed it but I use the 1Password 8 App to copy and paste.

Thank you for the reply. Just to clarify, can you tell me why you’re copying and pasting your passwords rather than filling them using iOS AutoFill:

Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad

I just want to make sure that I understand that you’re actually copying and pasting your passwords rather than using AutoFill to fill them.

I think that’s something I’m used to. I haven’t really looked at 1Password for Safari. I believe there was a time when 1Password for Safari didn’t exist? Apple didn’t support Extensions for Safari way back when, for iOS and iPadOS.

I recall Extensions aren’t always supported in other Browsers like Chrome and Firefox in iOS and iPadOS.

Still happening for me to on basically all websites. From my understanding it’s not matching urls correctly. When I do say save it most likely tries to save it as a brand new item or it sometimes tries to update an existing one. But what it then does is adding the url again to my credentials for the website but then with a slightly different path. I think Apple can’t match it based on domain, only on full path which is the problem as there could be multiple locations you could login with the same website and same credentials.

Just wanted to be sure The team is aware of this specific issue regarding the mismatch and the pop-up showing incorrectly.
