Use this interactive demo to learn how to make 1Password the default password manager on your iPhone.

‍

This tutorial shows how to set 1Password as the default autofill password manager on your iPhone or iPad, so it fills your logins automatically in any app or browser.

Note: The 1Password app must be installed and set up on your iPhone. A 1Password account is required.

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and tap "General."
Tap "AutoFill & Passwords," then turn on "AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys."
Tap "1Password" in the list of apps to select it as your autofill source. To avoid conflicting save prompts,turn off others in the same list.
Open any app or browser and tap a sign-in field. Tap the 1Password suggestion that appears above the keyboard and select your saved login to fill your credentials automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Setting 1Password as your default autofill eliminates the tedious cycle of opening the app, searching for credentials, and copying passwords manually. You'll sign into apps and websites with a single tap, making secure login habits effortless rather than burdensome. Beyond convenience, this setup actually strengthens your security posture because easy access removes the temptation to reuse simple passwords or save credentials in less secure locations like browser storage or notes apps.
