Hi AMonitorDarkly:

Yes, that's correct. This change only affects unlocking the 1Password Extension on iOS for Safari using Touch ID or Face ID, and you can continue to use biometrics to unlock 1Password when tapping "🔑Passwords" or "🔑" above your keyboard.

As I mentioned above, we're working with our partners at Apple, but I don't have any specifics to share at this time.

@mackg:

We used WebAuthn with 1Password for Safari to enable you to use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock. The changes to WebAuthn in iOS 16 don’t align with our security model and aren’t compatible with our implementation of WebAuthn. Consequently, we’ve removed this feature for now.

deviantintegral:

This change would only apply to 1Password for Safari itself, and not filling using Password AutoFill, as I mentioned above. We have crafted your 1Password experience to be as consistent as possible across operating systems. We also don’t want 1Password to be the reason for not upgrading to iOS 16. We are talking to our partners at Apple about how we can bring this feature back.
