1P doesn't autofill android app even when the app info is linked in the account info.
I've been experiencing an issue with 1P autofilling which did not exist in the past.
1Password does not provide me the option to "fill and update" when logging into a new app. It only gives me the ...

11 months agoHi tigran, taym, netrbrunet CodesWithScissors & idangazit,
Usually you can link a login item to an app to get it to appear as an autofill suggestion when you next tap the login fields within the app by selecting the Always Allow option in Scenario 2 mentioned by tigran .
With that said, we've had reports from some users that the Always Allow option isn't appearing with only the Fill Once option appearing.
The popup missing the Always Allow option, only showing the Fill Once option would be our response to the "AutoSpill" issue. The issue could only be exploited under certain very limited conditions and the latest version of 1Password for Android mitigates those scenarios.
Since the release of 1Password for Android 8.10.30 onwards, you'll now be warned before you autofill if 1Password can't verify the app or domain. Although 1Password's autofill already required explicit user action, this fix enhances 1Password's security measures by ensuring that only the fields in the appropriate Android WebView are autofilled, preventing unintended credential entry into native app fields.
We currently have an issue opened on our end for our development team in relation to this popup with the Always allow option missing appearing unexpectedly in some websites and apps preventing you from being able to link a login item to an app for it to be offered as an autofill suggestion for future logins to the app and/or preventing autofill suggestions from appearing for the app when they previously appeared, which would be why you would need to tap a login from the autofill overlay then tap Allow Once to fill the fields of some apps every time. I've let the development team know you're encountering this issue.
If you'd be happy to list some apps you've noticed this issue occurring in, I'll be sure to add them to the issue on our end to let our development team know.
In regard to the fields of some apps not being filled at all, this can occur when apps prevent their login fields from being autofilled (usually in financial apps). If you'd be happy to share the name of apps this is happening for you in, I'd be happy to try to reproduce the issue and report the issue to our development team to let them know.
I hope this helps.

The beta fixed this issue for the Vivaldi browser.
Unfortunately the following app still has the issue where the "Allow always" option is missing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.raiffeisen.android

I'm glad that the beta version helped but I'm sorry that you're still seeing issues in certain apps. Can you tell me which specific version of 1Password for Android (Beta) is currently installed on your device: Find the version numbers for 1Password and your operating system
Can you also tell me if you see the issue with any other apps? Or is it just the app that you linked to?
