Q re not filling passwords in private tabs
I am not sure if I want to use 1password in private tabs or not. The explanation that if I do, websites will be able to see my browsing history is something I am not sure about. Is this a Security issue or just a privacy issue? What is the real world danger of having 1password work in private tabs? I'm looking for examples of what bad things could happen. I prefer to use private tabs sometimes simply so my browser does not record them, but I use Brave which is very privacy oriented, and also I use Nord VPN so I am wondering if it is really important for me not to use 1password in private tabs on Brave...? I have brave set to clear cache and history on closing as well... So a) do I really need to use Private tabs, and b) do I really need to not use 1password when I do? Thanks for enlightening me on this. I'd like to use 1password on private tabs but do not want to be less secure.new to 1password. My tablet seems to work differently...
Hi, I have 1pw on my computer and tablet, phone is next. But on the tablet it seems to work oddly and I'm wondering if I have a setting wrong or something. When I click in a log in box, instead of it offering me the password on the box or just auto-fills it in, it offers me the password at the top of the Keyboard (Samsung X210 tablet). It almost looks like it is putting it into the place where the google keyboard copies text. I don't think it should be that way, should it? I haven't had time to look through all the settings - thought it might be quicker/easier to ask here. I hope this works better than roboform with android. I had to delete roboform from everything because it only seemed to work well on Windows. So is there a setting that I need to change in order for 1pw to work on my tablet (and phone) the way it works on my computer - automatically filling in the correct form instead of offering a password to me at the top of my keyboard where I would usually see copied text? I have a feeling (?) that is not the way it should work because it may be insecure... Thanks for helping! Oh! I forgot - another issue on my tablet: 1pw seems to always require my long password to start up. On my computer I don't have fingerprint log in so I get it. But can't I set it to use my fingerprint like I do with other apps, on my phone and tablet?
Trouble with Bank of America app
Greetings all, I'm having trouble with my Bank of America app, in that, 1Password won't auto load into it, except every once and a while. ( Every once and while, password will load, after a failed attempt to auto load the username.) And if I try to copy and paste from 1Password, I can copy either the username or the password, but after pasting one of those, when I go back to copy and paste the remaining one, the original one I've pasted is gone. What's frustrating is, that at least once in the past, both the username and password auto loaded as expected. I'm using an Android S23 FE. Thanks.
Date format inconsistency when setting an alert
Are all the date format entry/display problems EVER going to be fixed?? It's now a whopping 4+ YEARS at least since these have been a problem, and ALL fields (including the relatively new Alerts field!) still have massive issues in both date entry and final display. Just look at the how many search results —128; with the oldest being July 2021 on this new forum system (so likely even longer than that!)— there are for date format issues: search - Date format problems Here's another more recent thread with the same old issue being mentioned, yet only placation responses being given as unsatisfactory answers by 1P staffers! New Feature "Expiry date" - Where is the alert? And here we are today, and the same issues persist... See how the date 2 September 2027 appears on one field (as: 02/09/2027) yet on the related Alert field directly underneath it completely differently (as: August 26, 2027)! ...Even more bizarre, given my system settings on all my devices are set as a third way to show differently again (as: 2027.09.02.Thu)!! Who on earth at 1P thinks this is acceptable and in no way confusing to your users – going on for several YEARS now?!
1Password for Android cannot become the default Passkeys Manager and other issues
Google Pixel 8 Pro Android 16 1Password for Android 8.11.6 Today, I decided it was the day to setup Passkeys across the supported website/services. Started 1Password for Android - > Watchtower and selected uber.com. Went to the suggested URL after tapping "Use Passkey". URL went to https://account.uber.com/passkeys. Logged in. Was presented the Passkeys page for Uber. Tapped + Create a passkey. Tapped Create a passkey at the popup dialog. Bam! Google Password Manager pops up asking if I would like to create a passkey to sign in to account.uber.com. Cancelled. I remembered doing this already so I went to the following places to check settings. Chrome -> ... -> Settings -> Google Password Manager -> Settings. Checked the following; Offer to save passwords (disabled), Automatically create a passkey to sign in faster (disabled), Auto sign-in (disabled). Chrome -> ... -> Settings -> Autofill Services. Checked Autofill using another service (Enabled). Tapped Android Settings and this is the 3rd place I check next. Alternatively, I can get to it by navigating as per point 3. Android Home Screen -> Settings -> Passwords, passkeys and accounts -> 1Password (Preferred service) - Enabled. Additional services: Microsoft Authenticator (disabled), Google (disabled). Can you put in checks in place please so this doesn't happen? If Google is doing something naughty, can you please work with them to resolve this? Please? Besides this, my experience on Android has been a mixed bag. Some login prompts, 1Password will have no issues popping up offering to autofill. But the MAJORITY of apps and websites, 1Password Autofill simply doesn't do enough. I have to jump back and forth to copy and paste passwords. Please let me know how I can help you folks resolve this.
Filling issue on the Community website and others
I was super frustrated by this update and I even opened an issue in the brave GitHub repository and there's a Reddit discussion thread about how one password stopped autofilling. The messaging was non-existent here that autofill would stop working on Android. And someone really dropped the ball here. Also, the new one password doesn't really auto fail that well at all. It actually works worse than the previous version. For instance, trying to autofill this very community site results in me clicking the correct entry and the keyboard selection and the top row of the keyboard. And then it proceeds to do absolutely nothing.
Filling issue in specific apps and websites
I first noticed an issue when I upgraded my phone in June from a Sony Xperia i III running Android 13, to my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra running Android 15. I could not get 1Password to autofill to save my life. I made sure iPassword and Chrome were updated, and tried various fixes from this community and other sites, all to no avail. I finally gave up in late June/early July, and switched my phone's default browser to Microsoft Edge. It now works as expected about 80-85% of the time. There are still some websites that 1Password won't appear at all when my focus is in a username or password field, and some where I do get the 1Password prompt but it does not fill even after confirming the credentials and allowing access. There are also a handful of apps that do the same, but that's fairly minor. 1Password now works most of the time with Edge as the default browser, so I'm sticking with that until I see evidence that it works better with Chrome on my phone than it does now with Edge.
Android version of 1Password can’t use biometric unlock – always asks for master password
Hello, I'm using 1Password for Android on a Xiaomi 15 and am experiencing a major issue. Even though I’ve enabled biometric authentication (fingerprint) in the settings and selected "Never confirm with Master Password," the app still forces me to enter my account password every time I open it. It completely ignores the biometric unlock. Switching to "Use device unlock" doesn’t help either – it still only lets me type a password. Here’s what I’ve tried so far, none of which worked: - Updated to the latest version from the Play Store (including beta releases). - Turned biometric unlock off and on again and re-enrolled my fingerprints. - Cleared the app data and reinstalled. - Set 1Password’s background management to "Unlimited" in the system settings to ensure it isn’t killed in the background. - Restarted the phone, reinstalled the app multiple times and re-added the account. None of these steps solved the problem. On one occasion it randomly started working for a short time, but the issue returned shortly afterwards. It seems to be an official bug. Is there any other workaround? Are the developers aware of this issue, and is there any progress on a fix that I can follow? Thank you!
Still having Android Chrome issues
I'm on 8.11.6 and saw the post earlier this month around the major update to Android+Chrome autofill. I went through all of the settings in the post and it did work for a day or so but it's still broken. I changed to showing the autofill beneath the field and it does show the candidates, but when I tap on a candidate it just goes away and nothing is entered in the text field. I tried disabling autofill and re-enabling using the settings in the post but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm happy to provide logs, screenshots, etc to help triage this. Thanks, Derek
