"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

Hey @nrosier:

Definitely not a bother! One of the advantages as we move forward with 1Password 8 is the shared core, which allows us to implement features faster across various platforms. Thanks for being such a fan for so long! 😄

Another voice in support of bringing send to window. Drag and drop doesn't work at all with the Hyper-V or VMware consoles and regularly doesn't work with Remote Desktop.

Hey @martinsteel:

Thanks for your feedback! I've added your thoughts to the issue Ali mentioned above.

Honestly I think the Quick Access feature is fine as it is - for people who don't like the extra shortcut you can add an settings option to instead of opening the app when clicking the toolbar icon you just open quick access - this is exactly the same behavior as 1P mini (it also had a shortcut for anyone wondering so both are the same in this regard).

It would be great though if you could invoke the Fill in app (send to app) command that was available in 1P mini from the quick access menu too - maybe under extra options or something.

Please brind the "type in window" feature back ! How else can I bring a password into a window I opended with TeamViewer or RDP and copy&Paste does not work ? It was such a cool feature. Why did you remove it ? Any reasons for it ? I will deinstall 1Pwd 8 again and try to move back to 1Pwd 7 ....

This thread was started six months ago and the feature is still missing ... so I'm guessing it's not coming?

In other news, the workaround of opening a password in a new window and dragging and dropping it does seem to work. However, after spending nearly an hour reading through the help pages on this - why is this not listed on the website? (only in this forum)

+1 please put it back. It's a must have option for working with remote desktops. I immediately reverted to the latest version 7 again.

I echo the above. We cannot be without the "type in window" feature in our environment. It is essential.
We cannot update to v8 as a result. What is the ETA for v8 to reinstate this feature?

Hi @ag_mike_d,

it's a change but I can get used to drag and drop the password into windows that don't support pasting from shortcut.
But it would be realy great if that is possible to to from the Quick Access directly after finding the entry I need. Like maybe from the "More Options" part of the entry. Opening the objekt in a new windows just adds unnecceary steps to the proces of unlocking a locked RPD session for example.
