    Hello OnePAJY​! 👋

    Thanks for the question! On iOS devices, 1Password can't "see" into other apps and instead relies on an Apple technology called iOS AutoFill to fill and save passwords. This differs from how 1Password works in the browser on a desktop device since 1Password can see the fields on the website directly and more proactively offer to save your login credentials on the page.

    To save a login in an app on an iOS device you can use the steps in this guide: Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad

    I hope that helps.
