@1P_Travis does this mean by some chance the native autofill will come to macOS finally... soon? Please. I mean the whole electron change over I thought was for continuity between platforms. So here is hoping 🙏

I encountered three bugs with the MSIX version.

Show Passkey Suggestions button is greyed out
When hovering mouse cursor in 1Password app screen, my mouse is stuttering a lot. It is not happening with other apps and normal 1Password app.
After every system restart, app is asking for my master password instead of Windows Hello PIN.

1Password for Windows 8.10.78 (81078039)

Important note: The beta is currently being rolled out to a limited segment of the potential audience on the Microsoft side and will incrementally increase over time. We’re actively working with our partners on the Windows Security team to broaden the rollout as soon as possible.

This is still in beta?
The recent Windows Update now allow the PassKeys for others but cannot see the 1Password option...
