I've upgraded to 1PW8 and now I can't auto-type passwords into application windows. Is this critical feature gone?


1Password Version: 8.4.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10 21H1

I just upgraded too. I wish they had mentioned that feature was removed before I upgraded... I use the browser extension for almost everything, but when I want to use the Windows app, I definitely want it to auto-fill passwords with "type in window."
Most apps let you click and drag from 1password (but not from the new quick access thing), so I'm doing that for now.

Hi @wraith and @marshall_stacks:

Autotype is something we're actively looking into and hope to have more info soon. While I can't make any promises, I have added both of your input to the feature request we have tracking this internally. Thanks!

While I love the new quick access dialog (amazing!), it would be even better if it would feature auto-type so that it could fill the username/password in the current application.

Thanks for your feedback here about auto-type and Quick Access, @FWest98. :+1:

I use auto-type many times per day, and I can not paste passwords into the application I am using. This is a major regression and it requires us to massiveliy change our workflow

What's possible for now is to hit CTRL+O from quick access so the selected entry is opened in a new (small) window. Then, you can drag and drop passwords (any field in fact) into apps. Acceptable in terms of speed, but I don't need to use this many times a day, others might find this tedious.

Nice solution, @"J.M". And as Jack mentioned, we're continuing to track use cases and customer demand for this. Thanks for letting us know how this features in your workflow, everyone!

Thank you @"J.M", this solution is acceptable. It works in the area we need it to

Hello, I'm missing this feature to use with main Windows authentication screen on Virtual Machines (libvirt, Linux host, Windows Guest).
This kinda works with KeepassX, if you can workaround the keymap differences and/or define a specific keyboard sequence to play... but you know, if we're using 1pw it's because KeepassX doesn't fit our needs :)
