1Password instead of Passwords

I just installed MacOS 26 public beta. I do not have an option in System Settings to make 1Password the default password manager. Ideas?

I've read all the articles about browser extensions but that is not my question.

Hi @billdavies,

Thanks for your question. 1Password doesn't use the "Autofill & Passwords" feature in macOS System Settings, so if that's where you're looking, you won't see it listed there.

Instead you can fill and save logins using either 1Password in the browser (our browser extension) or using Universal Autofill in the Accessibility settings

The instructions in the Universal Autofill article should still apply, even running the macOS 26 beta. If you're seeing something different, though, please post a screenshot and we'll figure out what's going on!

So you're saying top button on, second button off? Seems like 1P is getting Sherlocked.

Hi @billdavies,

You can just turn the top toggle off, AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys, then follow the steps to configure Universal Autofill in the Accessibility settings and you'll be all set.

Competition from other password managers isn't a bad thing – it keeps us focused on improving :)
