After installing the current beta, the Safari extension no longer works. I get the error messages (displayed in the screenshots below)

I restarted the phone already. Login in the 1Password app is possible.

Here some screenshots:


1Password Version: 8.10.16 (81016015)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS
Browser: Safari

Hello @BKrnk! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into an error message on your iPhone. It looks like 1Password for Safari is having trouble authenticating. Please try the following steps:

  1. Fully close Safari on iOS.
  2. Fully close 1Password on iOS.
  3. Open and unlock the main 1Password app from your home screen.
  4. Open Safari and go to any webpage.
  5. Tap on the AA icon in the address bar.
  6. Tap on 1Password in the menu.
  7. Follow the prompt to unlock 1Password for Safari with your account password.

Does this resolve the issue or do you see the same message? I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Dave, thank you for your answer. I followed your steps but the problem stays the same.

Furthermore I tried to login (in safari) with FaceID and my password. Both brings the same error message. Can I provide some Analyse data?

Additional (for a next release) you might can change the login screen in safari. If you type in your password the password field is half covered by the keyboard.

I'm sorry that the steps didn't help. I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your iOS device:

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com.

I’m sorry to say I’m also seeing this issue now, which is really frustrating. What happened to 1Password, it used to be so reliable.

@hevak

I'm sorry that you're also seeing the issue. Are you using the beta version of 1Password for iOS or the stable version from the App Store?

This was on the most recent test flight version. I downloaded the App Store version and everything started working again.

@BKrnk and @hevak

Our developers are investigating the issue, could you tell me the following so that I can pass the information along to the team:

  1. Do you have two-factor authentication enabled for your 1Password account?
  2. If you do have 2FA enabled, are you using a TOTP authenticator app or a security key?

I look forward to hearing from you.
