    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.

    -Dave

Such a shame you decided to go down this route. 1P having the iOS extension was one of the things that made it standout from other offerings, especially for certain type of people that require domain/sub-domain level autofill filtering. 

That's now gone and the experience is worse, with no competitive advantage compared to other offerings. The workaround suggested in this thread requires 3-4 extra taps, while the previous functionality was instant and more intuitive. 

It feels like decisions being made in the last couple years, including the move the Electron among other things, are often for the worst, in terms of user experience, consistency and reliability. 

With my sub coming to an end soon, maybe it's time to make the time to migrate to something else.
