Hi ag_timothy, thank you for your response.
I have turned off all battery saving features. And I have set 1Password to "Allow background data usage" and "Allow app while Data saver on". In any case, I have set Data Saver off globally.
However, these steps have not helped.
You said, "From our investigation this is due to the fact that Chrome and some other browsers don't seem to be starting the Autofill service once stopped, and Android 9 is aggressively shutting down 1Password"
Does this effectively mean that 1Password will not run satisfactorily on Android 9 devices?
And it's not possible to force the Chrome Autofill service to run?
I am currently on the 2 weeks free trial, so I will have to cancel my subscription if the software will not run on my mobile device - that is disappointing as I am very happy with the 1Password Windows-11 Chrome extension.
If 1Password will not run on Android 9 devices, this should be clearly flagged in the software description so that we don't waste a great deal of time (and potentially money) finding out for ourselves.
Do you expect this issue to be fixed in the near future?
Regards
