Ever since I got my new iPhone 17 I'm seeing daily hours and hours of background activity from 1password, and it seems more people are suffering from the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/1o6g8fu/high_1password_background_activity_ios_26/Just yesterday, 1password ran for 7 hours in the background and use 6% of my total battery, with just 1 minute of actual screen time. Today it was 6% on 3 hours of background time, again with no screen time.I'm using 8.11.14. I have also tried disabling background refresh and the safari extension as some people on Reddit suggested, to no help at all. And no, I'm not setting up 1password anywhere else, this is happening for weeks now.Is this being investigated by the 1Password team at all? I haven't seen anything. If it continues it will surely encourage me to start the painful migration to somewhere else.I have tried emailling support but got no answer. On Reddit everyone is lost.

Are there any updates on this? New iphone 17, unacceptable battery drain, background app refresh is off.Considering leaving 1password and I have seen people reporting this issue here and elsewhere for a month and am still waiting to see if there is a fix.

iOS 26.1 (32B81) / 8.11.16 / iPhone 17 Pro maxAnd a few days ago, it was even higher. Almost 12 hours? What’s going on guys?

Same here with me. Let's go guys, wazzup?Maybe I should also say that 1P also keeps popping hi p a window asking me to sign in. Could this be related?

Exactly the same here. Between 5-10% per day.

  iPhone Air, IOS 26.0.1, 1pw 8.11.14
  Here I tested with Safari plugin disabled. But it was not consistent. Next day was higher again. I'll probably have to check this again:
