"Send to window" missing in 1Password8

Hello,

In 1Password 7 there was an option to "send to window" for both passwords and OTP, for the applications that did not support copy / paste (i.e. ZOOM!).

This option is nowhere to be found anymore on 1P8, can it be reinstated?


1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: all OS

Hi, please re-introduce this feature. I've had to upgrade 1Password 8 back to 1Password 7 as without this feature 1PW is useless. Copy/Paste has been disabled at our company for remote-desktop connections so the only way is to send the password is to use this option.

Hi @nrosier, thanks for letting us know. I'd like to apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

As Mike mentioned, we're actively looking into an Auto-type solution for 1Password 8 and hope to have more information soon. I have added your comment to the feature request we have tracking this internally. Thanks!

Hi Ali, thanks for the feedback. Just wanted to stress the importance of this feature. We have a business account and our team uses this function extensively. I've advised them to withhold from upgrading to 1PW8 as it lacks this feature.

+1 to restoring this feature. my workflow in v7 was ctrl+alt+\ > type in item name > menu (right-click) key > up/down keys to 'Copy' > right key > up/down keys to 'password' > right key > up/down keys to target window > enter. all on the keyboard. for some it may be trivial to just move my hand to the mouse for the drag-drop workaround, but as someone who avoids switching to the mouse as much as possible, it shaves off 1-2 seconds. for each login. the target window doesn't even have to be in the foreground. and it brings that window to the foreground too.

Hi, seems this feature is also lacking in the Mac version :-(
I recently moved back to Mac and just discovered this.

Hi @nrosier:

Thanks for your additional feedback. As Ali mentioned, this is something we're actively exploring, but don't have anything to share just yet.

Hi Jack, sorry to bug with this again, just wanted to share as more and more people from my team are also moving to Mac and wasn't sure the 2 version shared the same developers (seeing as some features are different between them).

PS: I've been a 1PW user since v3 and love the product. Keep up the good work.
