1Password product enhancements [Winter edition]: Password autofill, saving, and more

Fumbling with an app when you’re already stressed? We know the struggle. Also, is it just us, or does it always happen when you’re already having a bad day?

It may seem silly, but sometimes, a few extra clicks or typing can feel painful when you’re just trying to get stuff done.

That’s why, in 2024, we’re focused on making 1Password smoother, simpler, and more intuitive. We’re dedicated to making sure the secure thing is always the easy thing.

Throughout the year, we’ll continually improve 1Password so it can reliably work as you expect. No more struggles. We’ll keep you updated on added and improved features along the way, because every click and tap should feel effortless. The seamless experience you deserve.

Improving password autofill, browser extension functionality, and more in 1Password

Since the end of 2023, we’ve already made nearly 200 updates to 1Password. These updates focused on overall performance, reliability, and usability with the goal of simply making sure things work better.

This round, we devoted our energy to the browser extension experience and search within the 1Password apps because they are the quickest, most effective tools to find and use your passwords while online. We’ll be working on plenty more updates in the near future, so stay tuned!

In this blog, we’re sharing some highlights on how we’ve improved several different features in the 1Password web browser extensions and 1Password apps including:

1Password browser extensions :

• Consistent password autofill experience.
• Credential management and search with smart titles.
• Better syncing when on or offline.
• Saved time with 1Password for Chrome updates.
• Improved 1Password for Safari autofill suggestions.
• Save login improvements in the 1Password beta extensions.

1Password apps :

• Search improvements in the 1Password apps.

If you’d like to learn more about all the updates we’ve made, check out our release notes for all the details.

A consistent password autofill experience for the browser extension

Some private web elements used to prevent the autofill dropdown menu from appearing or prevent autofill on login forms on certain websites.

We’ve addressed this, so you can now seamlessly autofill on more sites, login forms, and much more! The 1Password browser extension will now work more regularly in username fields, email fields, addresses, and form credentials. The extension will also autofill more efficiently on hundreds of sites, like Reddit and CVS.

Plus, we made a fix for many top popular sites, like Walmart and ESPN, that used to close the 1Password browser extension before it could complete autofilling.

Streamlined credential management and search with smart titles for the browser extension

The 1Password browser extension now leverages smart titles for the top 900+ sites online. Previously, a site like American Airlines might have been automatically labeled simply as “AA” for the title of the item, but now, it’s accurately and automatically titled as “American Airlines,” making it more contextually relevant to the item you’re saving.

This streamlines the process of creating and saving new items faster and more accurately, and also makes it much easier to search for and find items later on.

Better syncing for the browser extension whether you’re on or offline

If you’ve dealt with the pain of an unstable internet connection, you’ll love this update. Before, if you tried to save an item in the browser extension but you were offline, the item would save locally in the extension, but wouldn’t sync across your other 1Password apps, like on your phone or tablet. That means you couldn’t access that item until the connection was re-established, which wasn’t happening quick enough.

Now, the browser extension will better recognize when you’re on or offline, meaning if you’re ever disconnected and then reconnected to the internet, your password will save and sync across all the 1Password apps faster.

Save time and avoid disruptions with 1Password for Chrome updates

If you’re a Chrome user, you know the browser updates quite often as Google pushes out new features and security updates for users. Previously, this caused interruptions in the connection between the 1Password for Chrome browser extension and the 1Password desktop app, leading to frequent password re-entry to unlock the extension again after Chrome updates.

We heard your feedback on how frustrating that was, so now, whenever Chrome issues a pending update, you’ll no longer need to unlock 1Password, experiencing less interruptions to your daily tasks.

With this new update, we estimate that we prevented nearly 20 million instances of unexpected re-authentication. With each login taking about two seconds, we’ve collectively saved our customers approximately 462 days worth of time. That’s enough time to watch the entire The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Extended Edition 932 times or sail a pirate ship across the Atlantic Ocean 18 and a half times. Phew, that’s a lot of time saved!

Find exactly what you’re looking for with 1Password for Safari updates

Before, the 1Password for Safari browser extension didn’t filter suggestions in the autofill menu like it did for extensions for other browsers, like Chrome and Firefox.

We’ve fixed that, now making it easier to find and autofill the right details depending on what site you’re on – plus, if you have to use different browsers for any reason or end up switching some day, you can expect a consistent and familiar 1Password experience.

Auto save and submit logins automatically in the 1Password beta extensions

Now in the 1Password beta extensions, when you sign in to a site that you haven’t yet stored a credential for, 1Password will automatically create and save the credential for you after you’ve logged in – meaning you no longer have to manually save an item before you sign in.

Not only does this make saving your logins easier, but it also means you no longer have to manually update an item if you entered the wrong username or password and already saved it to 1Password.

But wait, there’s more!

Autofilling credentials is handy, but you often have to manually submit the form you’ve filled, keep clicking to progress through multiple pages, and select autofill again in the next form fields that could come up, like two-factor authentication (2FA).

That’s too much work, so we’ve introduced improved autofill automation for your logins. Now, once you’ve selected a credential to autofill, the rest of the process autofills, auto-submits, and auto-progresses through multi-page sign-ins all on its own, including 2FA codes.

Improved search in the 1Password apps

Previously, if you were searching for something in 1Password, the result would be shown within a list of all your 1Password items. This means if you picked the wrong item or wanted to look at multiple items with similar characteristics, you had to start your search completely over. Now, we only show you the list of items that match your search until you initiate a new search.

Plus, search filters are now visible and usable across all of the 1Password apps. This means you can easily see all of your recently searched items on all devices for faster searching. We’ve also improved functionality to support search queries from customers, so we will keep making search even better this year.

We’re always listening

We’re continuously working to make sure 1Password is simplifying your online world, all while keeping you safe. With subscriptions based on your needs, you can protect yourself , your business , and even an enterprise , with the most reliable password manager around.

Your feedback about 1Password is incredibly valuable to us. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to make all these improvements, or all the ones to come. Keep letting us know what you think – we can’t wait to hear from you!

Introducing a new way to try experimental 1Password features

by Matt Grimes Aug 24, 2023

Here are two 1Password features you won’t find in iOS 18’s new Passwords app

Apple has a brand new Passwords app coming in iOS 18. Once users upgrade this fall to the latest OS versions across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Vision Pro, they’ll find the new Passwords app installed.

But while Passwords will offer lots of the functionality found in third-party options like 1Password (at least for personal use ), there are two specific 1Password features you won’t find in Apple’s Passwords app.

What’s missing from Apple’s Passwords app

Apple’s focus with the Passwords app is right there in the name: the app specializes in passwords. Beyond standard passwords, you’ll also find passkeys, wi-fi info, and verification codes in the app—however, in all these cases you’re still essentially dealing with the same category of data.

But as a longtime 1Password user, I’ve gotten used to keeping two additional data types in that app alongside my passwords:

• secure notes
• credit card info

You won’t find these in Apple’s Passwords app. If you stop and think about it, though, there’s a good reason for that.

Pairing Passwords with Apple’s Notes and Wallet apps

1Password’s secure notes and credit card features aren’t matched by Passwords, but that’s because Apple has alternative apps to meet those needs.

Apple Notes has long provided its secure notes feature, allowing you to lock a note and require Face ID or Touch ID authentication to open it. Notes is where Apple expects you to store any secure notes that might otherwise live in 1Password.

Similarly, the Wallet app is where your credit cards are stored. This only helps on the iPhone, but on Mac and iPad there’s Settings.

Top comment by William

"Similarly, the Wallet app is where your credit cards are stored. This only helps on the iPhone, but on Mac and iPad there’s Settings."

Credit card numbers are stored in Settings on the iPhone. Settings -> Safari -> AutoFill -> Saved Credit Cards.

It would be nice to not have to go into Safari AutoFill settings to get saved credit card numbers, but it's fine, since at least it's there on my phone so I can access it anytime, anywhere.

But this is where I think Apple’s approach with Passwords falls short.

Unfortunately, the Wallet and Settings apps often don’t contain your full credit card numbers like 1Password can. It varies by card, and you can always visit your banking app instead, but ideally you could visit one place to access all of that info. That’s why I’m still prone to keep my credit card info in 1Password.

Credit card info could be locked inside a secure note inside Notes, but I’d much rather get to it from Wallet if possible.

What do you think of Apple’s password-only approach with the Passwords app? Let us know in the comments.

Macrumors newbie.

Hi there, I'm new to the whole iPadOS thing and tried to search for my issue but didn't seem to find any other posts or solutions. As soon as I connect my iPad Pro 11" (2021) to the Magic Keyboard the option to autofill passwords is not shown anymore. I tested Safari & Firefox, in neither of them did it work. If I take the iPad of the Magic Keyboard, the touch keyboard including the option to autofill my saved passwords reappears. Is this supposed to happen like that? I mean I can handle it with the multitasking & 1Password but it would be much more convenient to autofill them directly from the browser. Regards, SpicyTrigger.

I have the same when i connect a Bluetooth keyboard. I think this happens because of security reasons, otherwise you could bypass the autofill by connecting a keyboard.

There should be a little horizontal bar at the bottom that gives you the option to auto fill passwords even with a physical keyboard connected. See if you can enable predictive typing and have the bar appear again.

I'd turned off predictive typing as I don't like it. If you have a keyboard attached to your iPad, to get the password dialogue box (which I get on my iPhone (iOS 15 & 16) to come up on iPadOS 16, predictive typing must be enabled. I'm just writing the above hint in a very clear way for anyone else who stumbles on this post.

Passwords Autofill with Authenticator no longer working on iPhone

I don't know it this is the correct category, but I was unable to find Microsoft Authenticator specific forum. I had the autofill of my passwords perfectly working on my iPhone 7 Plus for months, but now out of a sudden the Microsoft Authenticator app is showing a Complete Setup pop-up every time I press the password autofill button.

I am logged in with my Outlook account in the app like I always was and the setup is complete.

I tried to stop syncing passwords, removing my outlook account from Authenticator, reinstalling the app and logging back in fresh but this annoying pop up is still showing and I'm unable to autofill my passwords which are present when I open the Authenticator app on its own.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

That community you suggested as the correct place doesn't work, there are several threads on there with lots of people asking for help and no response or acknowledgement from Microsoft after many weeks. Is there another way to get in touch with the correct team? This is a major failure of this product.

In other words, too damned bad! Best response I’ve gotten is, use someone else’s! Talk about effing up a bunch of people, Microsoft does it again! There is no fix. There will be no fix. They probably have no idea HOW to fix it. Terrible overly rich company!

How to use the new Apple Passwords app on iPhone and Mac

Learn about the new Apple Passwords app on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia to conveniently see, save, autofill, and manage your various account login information.

Before iOS 18, you had to go to the Passwords section of the Settings app (or Safari settings and the iCloud Keychain app on Mac) to see and manage a saved password. This was a convoluted approach which prevented many users from actually using this otherwise great feature.

Thankfully, Apple simplified the process by introducing a dedicated Passwords app – similar to third-party password manager apps such as 1Password and Dashlane.

So, if you have installed iOS 18, iPadOS 18 , or macOS Sequoia on your devices and want to learn more about this iCloud Keychain successor, this guide will help you get started with the Passwords app.

Find the Passwords app

You will see a new Passwords app on your iOS Home Screen and Mac Launchpad after updating to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15. In case you can’t locate it, use Spotlight Search or Siri to open it.

See your saved passwords

• Open the Passwords app and authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or device password.
• Tap All to see all your previous iCloud Keychain account credentials, emails, usernames, and passwords. New passwords you save in the future will also appear here.

In addition to account passwords, you can also see Passkeys , two-factor authentication codes , and Wi-Fi Passwords inside the Passwords app.

Sort passwords: Tap the two-arrow button from the bottom left corner to view your saved details in a way that’s more productive for you.

Use Siri: You can also ask Siri to show you a saved password. You can give a voice command like “Hey Siri, show my Amazon password,” and it will automatically take you to the Passwords app, displaying the necessary account details.

Note: iOS 18 lets you lock and unlock apps , but the Passwords app is permanently secured behind biometric authentication, and you cannot do away with it.

Save passwords to it

You are prompted to save a password when you create a new account or enter login details manually in Safari or other apps. In addition to that, you can add a login information right inside the app.

• Go inside the Passwords app and tap the plus button .
• Fill in the necessary details, choose a shared group if applicable, optionally add a note , and hit Save .

Set up 2FA codes

iOS Settings app had a built-in way to set up two-factor authentication (2FA) codes , and that’s now moved to the Codes section inside the Passwords app.

This feature is similar to what’s offered by apps like Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. You can set up two-factor authentication for services like X (Twitter) , Facebook , and more in the Passwords app.

Autofill passwords

When you are on a login page in Safari and other relevant apps, the Passwords app will prompt you to autofill your username and password. The process is similar to what it was before, except for minor visual changes.

Use shared password group

Most of us have some account passwords that are useful for all family members, and I’m not just talking about Netflix or Hulu. You can create a shared group and add passwords so all your trusted family members can access, edit, and add to it.

See Wi-Fi passwords

It’s easy to see the Wi-Fi password for current or past networks right in Wi-Fi settings. Still, the Passwords app now gives you an additional method to view all these network passwords in one convenient spot. Simply open the Passwords app and tap Wi-Fi . Select a network name and tap the Password field to unhide it.

Take action against unsecure passwords

If you have some saved account passwords that are too simple, weak, reused, easily guessable, or have appeared in a data breach, you will see a Security category inside the new Passwords app. You can use the Change Password button to visit that related website and update its password to something stronger and unique .

Note: Tap Hide Alert if you don’t want to update the password and ignore the suggestion. Remember to tap the crossed-out eye icon from the top right of the Security section to see these hidden entries.

Delete one or all passwords

Swipe left on a password and tap Delete . If, for some reason, you want to delete all passwords and start fresh, tap the checklist icon from the top right > Select All , and then hit Delete .

Important: Since these passwords sync via iCloud to all your devices like iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, Windows PC , Chrome, and Edge (through an extension) , deleting them from one will remove them from everywhere.

Recover deleted passwords or delete them permanently

If you accidentally delete a password or two-factor account, you have 30 days to recover it . After that, it’s gone forever!

Go to the Recently Deleted section in the Passwords app and swipe left on a deleted password. Now, tap Recover to get it back or hit Delete to remove it permanently without waiting for 30 days. You can also tap an entry and use the Recover or Delete buttons.

Furthermore, you can tap the checklist icon , select all or several deleted passwords, and hit Recover or Delete .

Make sure passwords sync to all devices

All your saved account details sync via iCloud, provided you have enabled it in the device settings.

Go to iOS Settings or macOS System Settings and select your name from the top. Now, navigate to iCloud > Passwords and turn on Sync this iPhone / iPad / Mac .

How to turn off form autocompletion

This article explains how to disable autocomplete for form fields on a website.

Understanding autocompletion and autofill

By default, browsers remember information that the user submits through <input> fields on websites. This enables browsers to offer autocompletion (that is, suggest possible completions for fields that the user has started typing in) or autofill (that is, pre-populate certain fields upon load).

These features are usually enabled by default, but they can be a privacy concern for users, so browsers can let users disable them. However, some data submitted in forms is either not useful beyond the current interaction (for example, a one-time pin) or contains sensitive information (for example, a unique government identifier or credit card security code). As the website author, you may prefer the browser not to remember the values for such fields, even if the browser's autocomplete feature is enabled.

Note: WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.5: Identify Input Purpose does not require that autocomplete or autofill features must work; it only requires that form fields that relate to specific personal user information are programmatically identified. This means that the criterion can still be met (by adding the relevant autocomplete attributes to individual form fields) even when autocompletion for the form itself has been turned off.

Disabling autocompletion

To disable autocompletion in forms, you can set the autocomplete attribute to "off" :

You can do this either for an entire form, or for specific input elements in a form:

Setting autocomplete="off" on fields has two effects:

• It tells the browser not to save data inputted by the user for later autocompletion on similar forms, though heuristics for complying vary by browser.
• It stops the browser from caching form data in the session history. When form data is cached in session history, the information filled in by the user is shown in the case where the user has submitted the form and clicked the Back button to go back to the original form page.

If a browser keeps on making suggestions even after setting autocomplete to off, then you have to change the name attribute of the <input> element.

Managing autofill for login fields

Modern browsers implement integrated password management: when the user enters a username and password for a site, the browser offers to remember it for the user. When the user visits the site again, the browser autofills the login fields with the stored values.

Additionally, the browser enables the user to choose a master password that the browser will use to encrypt stored login details.

Even without a master password, in-browser password management is generally seen as a net gain for security. Since users do not have to remember passwords that the browser stores for them, they are able to choose stronger passwords than they would otherwise.

For this reason, many modern browsers do not support autocomplete="off" for login fields:

• If a site sets autocomplete="off" on a <form> element and the form includes username and password input fields, the browser will still offer to remember this login. If the user agrees, the browser will autofill those fields the next time the user visits the page.
• If a site sets autocomplete="off" for username and password <input> fields, the browser will still offer to remember this login. If the user agrees, the browser will autofill those fields the next time the user visits the page.

If you are defining a user management page where a user can specify a new password for another person, and therefore, you want to prevent autofilling of password fields, you can use autocomplete="new-password" .

This attribute is a hint to browsers; some may not comply with it.

Why doesn't show Safari my passwords anymore in Safari Settings

Suddenly, all my passwords disappeared from Safari Settings. When I try to log into a website, the password doesn't automatically autofill anymore even though, Autofill is on in Password Settings. I can view the passwords in System Settings, but they won't autofill on a website. I just recently upgraded to MacOs Ventura 13.4.1. How can I get the passwords into the Safari Settings again?

I am using Safari Version 13.0.3 on macOS Catalina Version 10.15.1 - can someone explain to me how to slow done the auto-lock timer for the Safari Passwords window? Thank you! 1225 5
• Safari autofill suggestions appear but are not entered into box Autofill doesn't work in Safari on one of my three Apple computers. I have searched and searched online for a solution with no luck. Every search seems to lead to the same advice ... go to 'Safari Preferences' ... click the 'AutoFill' tab ... check the 'User names and passwords' box.  But that can't be the problem because the Autofill settings on all three computers are the same and username and password autofill in Safari work on my iMac and MacBook Pro but not on my Mac Mini M1 (the Mac Mini M1 system has been updated twice and the problem continues in each system which leads me to think that it is a 'settings' problem.). When I go to a website on my Mac Mini: ---------- My Safari-suggested username (from Keychain Access) for the site appears in a slightly-greyed button correctly. (This is also what happens on my iMac and MacBook Pro.) ---------- However, when I click on the username choice (from Keychain Access) it does not get entered into the Username box. (It gets entered on my iMac and MacBook Pro) -------------------- Entering my username using the keyboard works. Then for the password box I get the 'From this website' choice indicating that my Keychain is working ... but clicking on my choice doesn't enter it into the password box. I have to enter the password manually to access the site. In summary, with my Mac Mini M1, Safari successfully gets the username and password from Keychain Access but does not enter them into the boxes when I click on my choice. I must be missing something obvious ..... help please. 608 9

Hey there margalina,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.

If having issues with AutoFill not working as expected in Safari, check out the steps listed below from the following resource that can help with troubleshooting this issue: Autofill your user name and password in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

If you can’t save a password or autofill a saved password

If you can’t save a password for a website, or your password for a website isn’t filled in automatically, try any of the following:

* Make sure you selected to autofill passwords:  Choose Safari > Settings, click AutoFill, then make sure “User names and passwords” is selected.

* Check whether you chose to never save the password for the website:  Choose Safari > Settings, click Passwords, then unlock your passwords. If a website’s password shows “never saved,” click the Remove button   to remove it from this list. Then click the Add button   to add the website, your user name, and your password to the list.

* Make sure you chose to use Touch ID for passwords:  If your Mac or Apple keyboard has  Touch ID , and you want to use Touch ID to fill in user names and passwords, choose Apple menu   > System Settings, click Touch ID & Password   in the sidebar, then turn on “Use Touch ID for autofilling passwords” on the right. (You may need to scroll down.) See  Change Touch ID & Password settings .

Keep us updated on the results after going through the steps above.

Thank you very much for your response. After I had shut down my computer and then logged in again, the passwords were all there.

How To Disable Your Browser-Based Password Manager

If you save your passwords in a browser password manager , your passwords may be at risk of becoming compromised. This is because browsers frequently remain logged in, meaning if someone gained access to your device they’d have access to all your stored passwords. Additionally, if your browser were to become compromised, everything stored in your browser would also be at risk of becoming compromised due to weak encryption standards. 

Before disabling your browser-based password manager, make sure you export and import your passwords into a dedicated password manager like Keeper®. DO NOT disable your browser-based password manager if you have not already set up a dedicated password manager to store your passwords.

You haven’t unlocked Apple Vision Pro for more than 48 hours.

Saving and filling passwords

If 1password cannot fill an item in your browser because its code signature or identity could not be verified, about the message.

For your protection, 1Password verifies the identity of your browser before filling your information, like passwords, credit cards, or addresses.

When 1Password verifies your browser’s code signature, your information stays exactly where you expect it to: in 1Password or filled on the right page.

What you should do

First, update 1Password . If you’re still having trouble after you update 1Password, follow the steps for the browser you’re using:

• Chrome or Firefox: Quit and restart your browser. 1Password can’t verify the identity of your browser if it’s in the middle of an update, and restarting it will allow any pending updates to complete.
• Chromium: Switch to a browser that has been signed. The Chromium team has no plans to begin signing Chromium  . That means 1Password has no way of knowing if your Chromium installation is safe. Switch to a browser that has been signed, like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
• Beta versions of major browsers: Use the 1Password beta. If you use a beta version of a major browser, like Safari Technology Preview, use the latest beta version of 1Password .

If you still see this message

If the above suggestions don’t resolve the issue, try the steps below:

• If you have a Mac, make sure your browser is in the Applications folder. 1Password for Mac can only reliably verify the signature of your browser if it’s in the Applications folder, so if it’s in a subfolder or somewhere else on your Mac, move it to the Applications folder. Get help if you can’t find your browser.
• Restart your computer. This resolves many common issues.

Get more help

If you’re still having trouble:

• Create a diagnostics report on your computer.
• Contact 1Password Support with a description of the problem and attach the diagnostics report that you created.
