Reduce 1Password security and associate logins with applications on iOS
Hello Matty279! 👋
The best way to avoid having to enter your account password repeatedly when using 1Password on iOS is to enable Touch ID / Face ID. When you enable biometric unlock you can unlock 1Password and fill/save your logins by just using your fingerprint or face instead of having to type in your account password. Here are some guides that will show you how to enable Touch ID / Face ID:
- Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad
- Use Face ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad Pro
Also is there a way of associating 1Password logins with a selected application? Usually when requesting a password from an application, it just takes you to the very top of the login list and you have to either scroll down or search to find the correct login.
On iOS it's not 1Password filling your passwords into Safari and other apps but an Apple technology called iOS Password AutoFill. When app developers publish their app in Apple's App Store they're asked to also include an associated domain with their app and Password AutoFill uses this to match the app to your login item for that app inside of 1Password by looking for the same website URL.
When you try to fill a login into an app and you don't see the correct Login item being suggested from 1Password then do you see a button labeled Create login? If you do then underneath the button should be a website URL, this is the associated domain for that app. Take that website URL and add it to your Login item in 1Password. Going forward the Login item will be suggested when you sign-in to that app.
Let me know if that helps. :)
