Important

You may not be able to use 1Password to save or sign in with passkeys in some apps, like TikTok or PayPal. We expect this experience to improve with future updates to iOS 17.

If you have a login in 1Password that doesn’t appear when you try to sign in, tap Open 1Password above the keyboard, then search for your login and choose the one you want to use. When 1Password asks what you want to do, select one of the following:

  • 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 sign in, you can drag and drop or manually copy and paste your login credentials to sign in to apps and websites.

If you recently changed an item on another device, and the change isn’t appearing when you attempt to sign in, open and unlock 1Password, then try to sign in again.

If you’re an iOS app developer, set up your app’s associated domains to make it easier for your users to save and sign in with 1Password.

If you still need help, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS.
  2. Make sure you have the latest version of 1Password.
  3. Make sure that you set up 1Password.
  4. Make sure that you set up Autofill.
