Question

Sonoma new password source selection menu

It seems that macOS Sonoma brings a new feature that kind of looks like it will allow autofilling of password and passkeys from a source different that it's own iCloud Keychain.

At least from the picture above I can assume that the whole reason for making an on/off toggle selection for iCloud Keychains is that maybe some other source can be added there.

My question is, is 1Password looking into this? Can it be possible for 1Password to integrate with this and be set as the default source for password autofill?

Hello @JohnIT! 👋

Thanks for the question. 1Password supports filling credentials into browsers and other apps on your Mac through Universal Autofill. You can learn more about the feature here:

And 1Password in the browser provides the best filling experience in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers: Get to know 1Password in your browser

I hope that helps!

Hi @1P_Dave

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of all the methods 1Password currently has in place for autofilling.

I was simply pointing out that macOS Sonoma seems to have introduced a new bespoke way of using password managers, which looks like a much nicer alternative than using Accessibility settings to achieve the same thing.

I was simply asking if this new development is something that 1Password is looking into and maybe offer an integration with this new system.

@JohnIT

Thanks for the reply. Right now, we're focused on Universal Autofill and 1Password in the browser for filling into browsers and other apps on the Mac.

That being said, I'm happy to file a feature request on your behalf. Can you tell me a little more about why you'd prefer to use macOS AutoFill over the currently available options?

I'd love to file a feature request.

It's pretty simple, I would like to have the option to choose 1Password as an option in macOS Sonoma's new password options menu that is shown in Settings -> Passwords -> Password Options:

This page looks very similar to the implementation in iOS/iPadOS where 1Password can already be selected as an option:

So I think this implementation is pretty similar.

Sadly overlooked this post while posting a https://1password.community/discussion/142883/feature-request-credential-provider-extensions#latest. As I stated there the Universal Autofill feels rather alien to macOS. So this feature would be really nice to have.

@kloenk

Thank you for the feedback, can you tell me a little more about what feels "alien" about Universal Autofill? Are you filling into websites open in your browser or other Mac apps?

Have you already installed 1Password in the browser: Get to know 1Password in your browser

until know only tested the safari extension, as I'm not the biggest fan of giving everything accessibility access to my Mac (not even my password manager). The safari now has two buttons (the 1Password with an offset), and both are competing as I used keychain before and that still has most of my passwords.

The 1Password in safari looks like I'm running chrome, which just has a different design language.
