High background usage on iOS 26
Ever since I got my new iPhone 17 I'm seeing daily hours and hours of background activity from 1password, and it seems more people are suffering from the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/1o6g8fu/high_1password_background_activity_ios_26/ Just yesterday, 1password ran for 7 hours in the background and use 6% of my total battery, with just 1 minute of actual screen time. Today it was 6% on 3 hours of background time, again with no screen time. I'm using 8.11.14. I have also tried disabling background refresh and the safari extension as some people on Reddit suggested, to no help at all. And no, I'm not setting up 1password anywhere else, this is happening for weeks now. Is this being investigated by the 1Password team at all? I haven't seen anything. If it continues it will surely encourage me to start the painful migration to somewhere else. I have tried emailling support but got no answer. On Reddit everyone is lost.October at 1Password: Defining new standards, empowering communities, and securing the future
Welcome to your monthly roundup of what’s new in the world of 1Password! 1Password helps author a new open standard for secure credential transfer We’re proud to have helped author a new standard called Credential Exchange Format (CXF), a major step forward in secure, privacy-preserving credential transfer between password managers. CXF will enable people to move their data between password managers safely and consistently, without exposing sensitive details in the process. It’s an open standard developed with other industry leaders to promote portability without compromise.

Migrate from Apple Passwords to 1Password
Hi, I recently subscribed to 1Password and I want to migrate from apple passwords on my iphone to 1password but when I click on migrate passwords in apple passwords it says “check that if you have at least one compatible application installed”, also I don’t have a mac. I only have iPhone and iPad.
Blue Screen for OTP Prompt in Browser
When using the quickfill feature with FireFox for iOS v144.1, filling in the username and password works fine. When I am prompted for a OTP and click on "1Password" in the password selection menu, the screen turns blue for 2-3 seconds, after which I can touch the screen to review the browser page w/OTP prompt again. Screenshot of the issue. The entire Firefox browser window is replaced by the blue square. Environment: Firefox for iOS v144.1 iOS v18.7 1Password for iOS v8.11.14 I can open the 1Password app to copy and paste the OTP from there, but it would be nice to use quickfill again.
Feature Parity Request: Native "Generate Masked Email" Button (NordPass-style implementation)
Hi team, I am writing this as a paying customer of both 1Password and Fastmail. I recently migrated my entire workflow from NordPass to 1Password because, frankly, 1Password is the superior product in almost every way—except one. The Missing Feature: I need the ability to manually generate a Masked Email from within the 1Password app (Windows, Android, Web) without relying on the browser extension to "detect" an email field. The Context (The "Downgrade" Experience): In NordPass, "Email Masking" is a first-class citizen in the UI. I can open the desktop or mobile app, click "New Mask," and instantly have a private email address to use anywhere—whether I'm signing up inside a native Android app, filling out a paper form at a doctor's office, or dealing with a complex multi-page web form that your extension doesn't recognize. Currently, with 1Password, if the browser extension doesn't trigger the "Create Mask" bubble, I am stuck. I have to break my workflow, open Fastmail, navigate deep into settings, create a mask, and copy-paste it back. It makes the integration feel fragile and "browser-only." What I am asking for: I don't care if the backend is powered by Fastmail or a future native 1Password relay service. I just need a "Generate Masked Email" button inside the standard Item Editor on all platforms. Relevant Tracker IDs: I have done my research and believe this request maps to the following existing internal tickets. Please add my vote to them: PB-45537123 (UI path to manually create masks) PB-51907383 (Editing existing logins with masks) PB-49630961 (Mobile/Native app creation) IDEA-I-1983 (Desktop app manual generation) I moved to 1Password for a premium experience. Please close this gap so I don't have to miss the one thing NordPass actually got right. Thanks.
Issues with 1Password on iOS and Windows
I agree on the decline in quality not only due to bugs but also in usability: New features like unlock with device (iOS, Windows) fail almost all the time (it's not actually unlocking with the device) on Windows it's not possible to start 1Password silent in the background, I needed to implement it myself (simple feature but it seems hard to implement) Just discovered that 1Password supports filters for focuses on iOS but guess: it seems just half implemented and does not show all of my collections and is therefore useless then about collections: I still don't get why collections as a feature is not implemented consequently over all available integrations. in the browsers it's still missing, and you need to fiddle around with single vaults being selected or not usability is sometimes annoying in the browser when the extension is trying to fill in stuff, but you don't want to, even closing the suggestions makes it pop-up in every new field again > not very nice on a small iOS display
