#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 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.

The built in iOS Autofill is not a good enough replacement for this functionality. This is a major regression in UX and I won’t be keeping my subscription if we’re expected to rely on the iOS Autofill. At that point I’ll just use the Passwords app since I already pay for iCloud.
The built in iOS Autofill not only takes extra taps, but is also a much worse experience when I have multiple accounts for the same domain with different services on each subdomain or port. Even something as basic as my item’s name isn’t rendered until 2 menus deep when it pulls up the full 1Password view.

Thank you both for the feedback. Right now, iOS AutoFill doesn’t respect per-site settings when showing login suggestions near the top of the keyboard or bottom of the screen. To see items with your autofill preferences applied, tap the key icon above the keyboard to open the 1Password window.
Because of conflicts with native AutoFill, 1Password only appears in Safari’s inline menu when native AutoFill is turned off. Our team will continue to explore ways to bring back the previous behaviour if a reliable solution is possible.

Hi 1P_Dave, yes I'm aware of the key icon but that's still a lot of extra taps vs the 1 tap menu that used to display. Most of the time the flow is now:
- Dismiss the automatic "helpful" "Sign In" prompt iOS displays
- Tap the password field
- Tap the Key icon
- Tap 1Password
- Tap the login item I want to use
Disabling autofill entirely isn't an option either as the 1Password extension only works in Safari, not any other apps (which I know is an iOS limitation, not yours.)
Can we get more details on what exactly this "conflict" is? Seems like there's a decent number of people responding here that prefer the old method despite whatever "conflict" keeps getting mentioned here.- 1P_Dave
Thank you for the reply. I've shared additional detail here.
I understand that the filling experience when using 1Password for Safari was smoother and our development team will continue to explore ways to improve usability. You can skip step 1 by turning off the following:
- Open and unlock 1Password for iOS.
- Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you’re using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
- Choose Autofill.
- Turn off "Show filling suggestions".
I know that doesn't fully help but I'm sharing in case it saves you a step.-Dave
Exactly my case. I also use multiple accounts on same domain/subdomain with diffferent ports and I basicaly need both. Inline autofill in Safari and iOS autofill feature in apps. Now I preffer to have inline autofill enabled and iOS autofill disabled so when any app asks me for credentials I have to manually copy&paste username, password and OTP. So I have to switch to 1Password app three times. Not great UX.
