Question

macOS autofill question

Why is it on one Mac I just get the little “1Password...” in the login field that I have to click on to get the popup with the suggested login to autofill, and on another Mac I get an actual selection for that login right at the field, like the 1Password browser extension does?

Hi ​@hazmat, thanks for posting!

I understand that when using native macOS AutoFill for 1Password, one of your Macs shows a login suggestion beneath credential fields and the other one shows the menu but without a suggestion, until you click on “1Password...”. To help me better understand the situation, could you answer the questions below for me:

  • Are both devices running the same versions of macOS and 1Password?
  • Is this happening with all websites, or only specific ones?
  • If you check Settings > Autofill in the 1Password desktop app, is “Show filling suggestions” enabled?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the reply.  It seems to be working now, but inconsistently.  Some sites now show the login suggestion beneath credential fields, but others, such as this very 1Password Community site, do not. Just the generic “1Password...” that you have to click on.

Hi ​@hazmat, thanks for your reply! I’m glad it’s working a little better, although it does sound like something still isn’t quite right here.

So that our support team can investigate further, I'd like to ask you to create and share a 1Password diagnostics report from your Mac: Send a diagnostics report (Mac)

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support@1password.com

With your email please include:

You’ll receive a reply with a Support ID number. Please post that number here. Thanks!
