Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS

So one of the people in my family subscription for 1P relies heavily on iCloud Keychain. The nice piece about using the native autofill extension is entries from both show up together in-line. This happens on iOS (or if you use other password managers it secure by each provider but both are offered the same way together).

in terms of migration and allowing those who wish to use both depending on the context. It would be nice to support the native autofill extension, but further it limits exposure or need for safari extension. Should someone not want to use or can't install the extension due to work policy or just rather not use safari extensions

thanks.


1Password Version: 8.x

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the commitment that 1Password has made to security -- that's why I've been a user for 15 years. But I still would prefer to give even the most trusted software only the minimum permissions it needs to do its job.

+1 on this feature. Just to get passkey support for native apps without having to resort back to qr-codes and your mobile

+1 on this feature. By supporting native autofill on macOS, 1password users will get better passkey and SMS code autofill experience. it can also make it possible to use 1password with other password manager. why not support this feature to make 1password more perfect. i don't think it is a feature that can not coexist with current autofill implementation

Just for sake of completeness, also +1 on this feature, for all the reasons mentioned here. 🙂

I've also shared this wish in connection with previous instabilities of the safari extension, both in previous support requests and in https://1password.community/discussion/144909/1password-does-not-work-with-safari-profiles/p2.

In iOS, it’s super easy to make the 1Password app the default password manager for the whole OS. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be possible to do this on a Mac.

Is this feature already available? If not, when can we expect to see it?

Hello @Ben! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! 1Password doesn't use the "AutoFill & Passwords" feature in macOS System Settings so you won't see it listed there. Instead you can save and fill your login credentials using one of the following methods:


I recommend that you turn off the "AutoFill & Passwords" feature in macOS Settings to avoid conflicts and then make sure that the built-in password manager is also turned off in your browser: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

I can't say whether the "AutoFill & Passwords" feature will be supported in the future but I'll pass along your comments to the team internally that this is something that you'd like to see. Thank you for the feedback!

If ever there was another reason I don't care for browser extensions and really would prefer the native API solution.

An exploit of browser extensions specifically targeting password managers:
