iPadOS 16.1 Watchtower crash [Fixed. Please see the approved answer for details.]

I'll guess. 1) The big infusion of VC money comes with conditions. 2) Cost cutting (letting go of qualified engineers) for more profit. 3) Incompetency. Just my guesses. Plus the Windows side is probably more profitable.

I have the same problem.

The app doesn’t start after checking watchtower. I already deleted the app and reinstall it - same problem. What should I do to fix the problem?

Same Problem on iOS 16.2

Waiting for months for iPadOS crash fix, Face Id bug fix and now 1Password 8 is unavailable on the French stores (iOS and mac)
What's the problem ?

Whenever I try to look at weak passwords in Watchtower the app crashes, then crashes instantly when I try to log in again. The only was I can fix this is deleting the app and installing it again.

Currently on iPadOS 16.3 beta.

I too experience this iPadOS crash and have been patiently waiting for a fix. The crash is especially annoying because for some reason it makes it difficult to relaunch 1Password. Fortunately I run 1Password on multiple platforms so I can easily avoid the issue.

I've been a 1Password customer for almost 10 years now, and the inability to release a timely fix for a flagship feature crashing is, to my recollection, almost unprecedented. There must be something out of the ordinary going on here. So it sure would be nice if Support provided more information about the delay than "Development is working on it".

Great it work for you @Terylon ! I was not asked to send an error report, so maybe there are variations of the error or different bug collection behaviors (“a b testing” and things like that).
Watchtower is not disabled in my settings i.e. of the three options below security under the watchtower heading, 2 of 3 are enabled. “Check for vulnerable passwords” is disabled (again) as I originally thought that this triggered the bug.
This is on my iPad Pro 10.5 with iOS 16.2 just to be clear.

. Bug is not repaired until today. What is the Status 1P_Dave ?

@damcify Thank you. It works and the app ask me to send an error report.

Did you noticed that Watchtower is switched off in the settings?
