#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...

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:

  1. Dismiss the automatic "helpful" "Sign In" prompt iOS displays
  2. Tap the password field
  3. Tap the Key icon
  4. Tap 1Password
  5. 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.

    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: 

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for iOS.
    2. 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.)
    3. Choose Autofill. 
    4. Turn off "Show filling suggestions". 


    I know that doesn't fully help but I'm sharing in case it saves you a step.
