    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 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.

    That being said, our team is actively evaluating the situation and keeping an eye on everyone's feedback in order to determine the best path forward. Your experience will help shape how we move forward. We appreciate you taking the time to share it.

This update has made the experience in safari so much worse. For me personally the primary issue is that the system autofill does not seem to respect the "Only fill on this exact host" setting. So for all the sites i host on different subdomains. Each with a separate login. Now I cannot quickly login with the correct password. The one offered by the system autofill is almost never correct and then I have to try to find the correct one in a list of about a dozen.

    Welcome to the community! Currently, when using iOS AutoFill, settings you’ve chosen for specific hosts won’t be respected for login suggestions shown near the top of the keyboard or the bottom of the screen. To see the list of items with your autofill behaviors applied, tap on the key icon above your keyboard to open the 1Password window.
