Hello @ap236! 👋

I'm sorry to hear that you're sometimes unable to find a login when trying to fill it into another app. On the iPhone AutoFill is specifically handled by iOS and 1Password only provides the data for the experience.

As a first step, I would like you to make sure that you have turned on AutoFill to work with 1Password:

  1. On the Home screen, tap Settings.
  2. Tap Passwords > Password Options.
  3. Turn on AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys.
  4. Select 1Password.

Then try to fill your login again using this guide: Use 1Password to fill and save on your iPhone and iPad

If that doesn't work then can you tell me if you're searching for the item's title? Or the website address?
