If you have a Login item in 1Password that’s not appearing when you attempt to fill:

  • in an app, tap Passwords to see all of your Login items and choose the one you want to fill.
  • in Safari, you may need to edit the item to make sure its website field matches the website.

If you recently changed an item on another device and the change isn’t appearing when you attempt to fill, open and unlock 1Password to sync your changes.

If you’re an iOS app developer, set up your app’s associated domains.
