#ME-271 feedback: Inline menu hidden in Safari on iOS when system AutoFill is enabled
Hello,
I recently noticed that a lot of login forms were no longer showing the 1Password drop-down to select a credential. I believe it is related to this change referenced in the title.
Simply p...
Hello 1bvr! 👋
Thank you for reaching out about this! When 1Password is set as your system autofill provider on iOS, the inline menu in the Safari extension is now hidden to prevent conflicts between the two filling experiences.
iOS 26 introduced enhancements to AutoFill, including support for strong password generation. This allows 1Password to integrate more deeply with iOS, enabling features like creating strong passwords and filling or saving login credentials directly through AutoFill on your iPhone and iPad.
At the same time, we’ve encountered some unavoidable conflicts between iOS AutoFill and the browser extension that don’t currently have a technical solution. We’re working closely with Apple to explore ways to resolve these issues in the future. In the meantime, we’re focusing on making native AutoFill on iOS the primary way to fill, while the Safari extension continues to provide additional capabilities beyond it.
Your feedback will help shape how we move forward. We appreciate you taking the time to share it.

I’m glad I found this thread and I’m not going insane!
I have parents in their 70s and trying to help them use 1Password is challenging on a good day. This recent change and the related bugs have made it basically impossible for me to recommend any workflows involving 1Password in a seamless way — we end up resorting to lots of manual copy & paste and switching between apps, and ultimately, just not using 1Password because it's not feasible to learn and adopt this workflow.
I’ve already opened a support ticket #564447 and sent many screenshots and diagnostics there.
Like 1bvr, I noticed that
nearly every credential that is autofilled by the native autofill in Safari generates a prompt asking me to save the password even though the password is already saved. If I tap "Save," it then offers to "update" the credential in 1Password. But the password being saved is the same password that 1Password just autofilled through the native autofill.
However in my experience detailed in the ticket, when creating a new secure password it actually fails to update an existing credential, with no options displayed under "update existing item" (even though an item was just used for autofill) — the only option being "create new item", which results in exactly what you'd think: multiple 1Password entries for the same login on the same website. And several extra steps/taps for me to teach someone how to open 1Password, search for the duplicate items, check which one has the correct password, and delete the others.
Luckily, finding this thread has given me a temporary workaround that I might not have thought of otherwise: turning off the iOS system setting to "AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys" so far seems to restore the 1Password Safari extension to its old/normal behavior. I fear this may make 1Password unusable in third-party apps, but have not tested this yet as Safari is by far the most common place that we use it.
Here's another vote hoping that this breaking, half-baked change can be rolled back ASAP.
edit: oh, and can this thread be unmarked as "solved"? The recent replies would certainly indicate that the issue has not been solved!
While this is a solution to one problem, it creates another.
turning off the iOS system setting to "AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys"
Turning this function off now disables the ability when clicking in an email field, for the hidemyemail function to also pop up.
