Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS

+1

Hi @snowy

Anyone who wants to use autofill on a Mac without installing an extension in their browser can use Universal Autofill to do this.

☞ Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

That way, as you mentioned, if they're not allowed to install extensions, but can install 1Password, autofilling will be available to them without anything else. On iOS and iPadOS, autofilling is only possible through iOS's Password AutoFill system – Universal Autofill isn't an option for us there.

Hope that helps! :)

To clarify Universal autofill doesn’t fulfill the need described above.

Universal autofill requires accessibility permissions. In this case this permission change is not allowed.

The second part it doesn’t show in-line with iCloud Keychain entries. One for usability and second in the case of sharing with who uses both and forcing this person all in 1Password is not an option.

Thank you for the feedback. 1Password currently supports filling using either the browser extension or Universal Autofill.

I would recommend that your family member choose to use either Keychain or 1Password but not both at the same time since that can cause confusion and result in logins being saved and updated in two different places at once. Using 1Password for Safari provides the best filling experience on the Mac. But I do understand if that's not an option for them and I've forwarded your request and specific feedback to our product team so that they can consider it for the future. 🙂

Understood, you have to pick the areas where to focus. I figured better to ask and provide the suggestion. There are some people out there who would be interested in having this feature. Thanks for the consideration!

Thank you again for the feedback! 🙂

so I saw the recent post from 1password about the native autofill with passkeys for iOS 17:

https://blog.1password.com/apple-passkey-api-wwdc/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=beyond-passwords-newsletter-july&utm_campaign=passwordless&utm_ref=email-beyond-passwords-newsletter-july

Interesting the link in the blog post:

https://developer.apple.com/passkeys/

It shows macOS using this native autofill option, but 1Password post only makes reference to iOS in regards to the apple platforms. I hope 1password will consider this implementation for the Mac. Particularly in terms of being consistent across platforms. It is much easier to explain to my spouse to just turn on autofill across the devices using native function while 1Password remains the secure store for passwords and passkeys.

@snowy

Thank you for the additional comments, and the explanation of how the feature would be useful to you and your family, I've passed your new feedback along to our product team as well. 🙂

Another +1 for me. I would really miss 1Password because it holds more than just Passwords (or Passkeys in the future for me), but without native Autofill instead of the Universal Autofill hack, I need to migrate away.

I don't mean to sound so final, but it is a dealbreaker for me, not just a nice-to-have.

In addition to being well-integrated, it is also blazingly fast with amazing user experience. The 1Password extension takes seconds to even appear, and sometimes up to 10 seconds to even unlock and react.

Just a quick note, running the latest 1PW beta extension for Safari and the beta build in 1PW 8 for Mac, the extension is now fast again! :) So that trouble is gone, yay.

Still +1 for native Autofill provided by Apple, now that Apple also extends it with Passkeys :p But at least 1PW is usable again for me in Safari! Thank you for the update.
