iOS 1Password 8 demanding master password / Face ID every time I try to auto fill

Reverting to v7 worked for me:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1password-7-password-manager/id568903335

Looks like the FaceID toggle switch doesn’t work on iPad Pro - the standard OS prompt doesn’t appear when I enable it.
If I try to use autofill in a browser, however, i get the prompt and then the feature is properly enabled.

Thanks for the feedback, Jack_P_1P .

I see that other people are having this issue too (https://1password.community/discussion/132671/v8-face-id-fails-often-when-it-shouldnt#latest).

Let's hope for an update with a fix for this soon.

Thanks.

Hey @geekbytrade / @davidcmc:

I've taken a closer look at this, and was able to replicate this situation, so I've filed an internal issue. Thanks again for letting us know about this.

Sometimes that works, other times the Face ID icon is gone and you have to enter your password.

Actually, right now, you can take advantage of this bug / "hidden feature"...just click on the FaceID icon and it will use FaceID to unlock 1pw...it never actually locks out. I didn't think this was even possible with the standard way for apps to use FaceID, but there it is.

In my opinion, this is a major security regression. I hope this bug is removed soon, which will put you back to square one, but in the meantime, try this:

@davidcmc You should be able to reinstall 1P 7 on your iPhone, this link might help get you to it:

I am running into the issue. On sites where I have multiple credentials saved it seems to always land at the enter your password prompt and I can either type it in or tap the Face ID icon. For sites where I only have a single credential saved it seems to be working. I’ve only briefly tested this so far. Have not contacted support yet.

Edit: I can always cause this to happen if I click the iOS Autofill option that shows the username I want to use (from 1Password), instead of tapping only 1Password. If I tap 1Password on a site with multiple credentials Face ID automatically works and then shows me all matching credentials.

Hello, Jack_P_1P .

Nope. I’ve tried that before, before that’s the default procedure after a reboot. If I don’t open 1Password 7 after a reboot, autofill (everywhere) will ask for the master password. Only after opening 1P 7 for the first time after a reboot the autofill service would work automatically.

But now it doesn’t work like that with 1P 8.

It’s weird because autofill is working as intended on other apps. It’s just on Safari that it’s requesting master password or manual Face ID button tap.

Hi @davidcmc:

If you open 1Password 8, unlock, and then switch to Safari and try filling again, does that improve your state of play?

Let me know.
