Hello @cskjetne! 👋
I'm sorry for the frustration. On macOS, our developers have created an integration feature called "Shared Lock State" that allows the 1Password app to communicate with 1Password in the browser. I'm not a developer myself but my understanding is that on iOS we're unable to build the same sort of integration between the app and the browser extension because of how iOS sandboxes apps as well as limitations in the APIs available to us in both iOS and Safari.
I keep having to manually unlock the hecking extension way more than i should - worse it doesn’t even support faceID.
1Password for Safari should definitely support Face ID as long as you're using iOS 16.1 or later. Can you tell me which version of 1Password and which version of iOS you're using on your device?
