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 and save passwords

To fill or save a password, visit a website in Safari or open an app, and tap a username or password field. If you have a Login saved for the website or app, you’ll see your username above the keyboard. If not, you’ll see Passwords.

To fill a Login, tap your username above the keyboard. If you have more than one Login for the website or app, tap the key icon to choose a different one.

To save a Login, tap the key icon, then tap Create Login. Enter your username and password, or tap Generate New Password to automatically create a strong password. If a website has specific password requirements, tap Show Password Recipe and adjust length, digits, and symbols. When you’re done, tap Save & Fill.

To change where Logins are saved, open 1Password, tap Settings > Vaults > All Vaults > Vault for Saving, and choose a vault.

AutoFill requires 1Password 7.2 or later.

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.

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS  
  2. Make sure you have the latest version of 1Password.
