That's not exactly what I was thinking. I just logged into the Subway web site using the 1Password credentials without issue, both on my laptop and on my Android browser. I checked the Subway entry in 1Password, and there's no linked application listed.
When I opened the Subway Android App and attempted to login, 1Password didn't offer to fill in the credentials: I typed them in manually, and 1Password didn't link the Subway app, either. When I opened the entry for Subway, it didn't show a Linked application, like PayPal does.
The PayPal entry clearly shows the login credentials as well as a linked application, and 1Password properly prompts me to fill in the login details.
The question, then, is how to link or re-link 1Password entries to show the application installed on the phone.
1Password should scan installed apps and update the linked App to match a login entry or allow me to manually select a linked app from a list of installed entries for a given login. Conversely, if an app is already linked, even if it's not installed, 1Password should not change it.

I'd like to reactivate this request. 4 years later, and it is still a problem. There is one app that 1password refuses to offer a link. Everytime it says ALLOW ONCE? I should be able to manually tell 1PW to link to my credit union app and have it respect. There still appears no way to do that.
