iOS 26.2 AutoSave Incorporation Possibility?
Recently, other password managers like NordPass have https://nordpass.com/blog/nordpass-ios-update-notes/#nordpass-4101-latest, which acts the same way the 1Password Browser Extension does, where it automatically saves login info upon logging into an app or website.
In theory, 1Password should be able to mimic this capability, correct?
It's only available on iOS 26.2 and above, but this capability SHOULD make the hassle of saving passwords & logins on iOS & iPadOS practically non-existent.
I've seen that in the https://releases.1password.com/ios/beta/#1password-for-ios-8.12.6-31, there was a patch note that read...
It’s now easier to generate and save passwords when you use Autofill.
...but that doesn't specify whether autosave is incorporated yet or not, and the Testflight beta is at full capacity, so I wanted to see if I could possibly get some clarification.

Hello Etsef! 👋
I'm sorry for the delay in responding! iOS 26 introduced enhancements to AutoFill, including support for strong password generation. This allows 1Password to integrate more deeply with iOS, enabling features like creating strong passwords and saving them directly to 1Password.
1Password now supports the ability to generate strong passwords, and save them to your vault, using iOS AutoFill starting with version 8.12.10.
You can read more about the feature here. We're planning to release a fuller announcement in the future.

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! 🙂

Bumping due to an apparent addition to the iOS app with no notification of that change being made in the release notes.
Does anyone know if this has actually been added to the iOS app, or am I mixing it up with the Safari extension somehow?
I'll upload an image in a moment of a popup I'm seeing that makes me think it's the iOS app and not the Safari extension.Bumping; this is the one gripe I have with 1Password and it’s now solvable, so hopefully it can be worked on or released soon.
Apparently my links have bugged out, so I have re-posted them below.
