1Password TeamMajor autofill update on 1Password for Android
Hi! I'm Patrick, an Android developer here at 1Password. I'm happy to announce that we've made some changes to how 1Password interacts with Chrome on Android that should result in a much more reliabl...
Hi all,
We've updated the instructions today (August 7, 2025) based on feedback we've received here and elsewhere to try and take into account folks setting up 1Password autofill on a new device and for folks who have already been using 1Password. We'll keep making updates if you have additional feedback!
Update on September 3, 2025:
Some users are still seeing autofill issues in Android. We're working with our friends at Google to troubleshoot this. Google is aware of the issue and the fix is expected to arrive in beta versions of Chrome in September. For the more technically-minded folks, you can track progress here.
The link in the What's new section of the app points to a Community post rather than the guide, effectively denying access to everyone who doesn't have a Community account. That post isn't available, being redirected here and effectively censoring the post.
This post doesn't include the instructions on what to change.
Autofilling my credentials in my browser to log in here works perfectly, but the login process goes nowhere. I don't recall having any problem logging in this way before.
The second step 1 of Set up Autofill in the guide for the critical change is still wrong, with the article published 21 Jul 2025 still saying,
① Return to Settings > Autofill in the 1Password app.
despite this having been identified as very bad mistake some time ago in the censored thread.
Autofilling and signing in the the Community with ⊙ Autofill using another service in Chrome 138.0.7204.179 on Android 16 and 1Password 8.11.4 works normally. Autofilling no longer works with ⊙ Autofill with Google.
Good job with the app, patrick and the Android devs.
With the release of the 8.11.6 version of the app a day or two later, the problem of the link to the (wrong) Community post in the What's new section has been fixed by virtue of it no longer being new.
As a result, anyone who did not catch the instruction in the What's new section during the few days it was current will have missed it. This isn't a 1Password problem, as unlike Google certain other app publishers, 1Password uses What's new properly.
Even so, I suspect that the fraction of folks who read What's new for every app update is small.
Given its breaking change nature, I think this deserves a one-time notification on first launch, though I don't bear the costs of coding it and handling the consequent support burden from folks struggling with it around the same time.
