Tip
If you’re using Safari, there’s an easier way to fill and save passwords.
Set up Autofill
Before you can use 1Password to fill and save your passwords, you’ll need to set up 1Password on your device. Then follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap Passwords > Password Options.
- Turn on AutoFill Passwords.
- Select 1Password.
From now on, you’ll be able to fill and save passwords, without ever opening the 1Password app.
Tip
To stop iCloud Keychain from asking to save your passwords, deselect iCloud Keychain. Then you’ll always know passwords are saved in 1Password, without any confusion.
Fill, save, and create passwords

Save or create a new login
With Autofill, you can also save your logins in 1Password when you sign up for new accounts or log in to existing accounts in apps and browsers. To create a new Login item:

If you have a login in 1Password that doesn’t appear when you try to fill, tap Passwords, then search for your login and choose the one you want to fill. You’ll be asked what you want 1Password to do:
- Fill Once: 1Password will fill your details in the app or browser one time.
- Fill & Update Login: 1Password will fill your login in the app or browser and update your Login item to link it to the app or site. You can then autofill your details every time you log in to the same app or website.
- Cancel: 1Password won’t fill your login or update your Login item.
If you don’t see the Passwords button when you try to fill, you can drag and drop or manually copy and paste your login credentials to fill in apps and browsers.
If you recently changed an item on another device, and the change isn’t appearing when you attempt to fill, open and unlock 1Password, then try to fill again.
