iOS 26.2 AutoSave Incorporation Possibility?

I think you misunderstood.

I’m not talking about automatic password generation; I’m talking about autoSAVE, where a password is automatically saved to 1Password when it’s used or created on iOS. This wasn’t possible until the iOS 26.2 update, but the same applied for randomized secure passwords; they both came out at the same time.

I’m specifically interested in password autoSAVE, not password autoGEN.

Thank you for the clarification. When you register for a website and use iOS AutoFill to generate a strong password, you’ll be prompted right away to save those login details in 1Password by choosing which account and vault to save them in. And, if you enter your credentials manually instead, you’ll see a prompt like this:

1Password doesn’t currently support silently saving credentials, since the experience is designed to always ask for your consent before saving a new login, and to let you choose which account and vault it should be saved in. This provides a consistent 1Password experience across all platform.

That said, I’ve shared your request for a more streamlined saving experience with our product team! 🙂

    I've seen the update; it works pretty well, except for ONE hiccup.

    Whenever I'm logging into a site I already have a password for, it seems to enjoy asking if I want to save it, despite already having it saved.
    Whenever I click "Save", it prompts me to create a new login item, but it DOESN'T show the existing login items to update; it says "No Items Available".

    I'm thinking there could maybe be an option to add the login to an item that isn't listed in that list; perhaps one that says something along the lines of "Choose Other Item" and allows you to search through your vault to find an item that wasn't automatically chosen.
    I feel like that's the only real "gripe" I have with the Autosave functionality, so I believe this would make the Autosave and Autofill experience much more seamless and easy to use instead of trying to guess why certain websites don't save passwords when they should already be saved.
