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?

Thank you for those details. Is there any specific about the design language that you're finding off? I find that 1Password feels at home in whatever browser I use whether it's Safari, Chrome or Firefox. The team has built a custom design language called Knox so that you get a consistent experience on all of your devices and browsers.

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.

I recommend that you don't use two password managers at the same time but choose one or the other. You can migrate all of your items to 1Password by using this guide: Move your iCloud Passwords from Safari to 1Password

There are also some pretty amazing features in the 1Password browser extension that wouldn't be supported by macOS AutoFill:

That being said, I've passed your request along to the team. 🙂

I would like to second this request- it's good platform citizenship for an app like 1password to support relevant native APIs, just as a matter of course. Hacks involving accessibility APIs will always be a disaster waiting to happen when compared to using the proper platform-native APIs.

Normally 1Password is super fast in adopting new native API’s (I remember videos showcasing new functionality on the day of their WWDC announcement), so I’m rather disappointed how it’s going now.

Is this a consequence of 1Password for macOS being an Electron App instead of a proper native App?

+1 requesting this as a feature. Especially since this looks like the standard way to handle passkeys on Sonoma as well.

Thank you for the request, I've shared it with the team.

Just in case you weren't yet aware, you can currently save and sign in with passkeys using 1Password in the browser: Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser

I'd also love to +1 this request, as signing in with passkeys in native apps on MacOS through passkeys saved on 1Password would be awesome! As an example, Discord is rolling out support for security keys and passkeys, and currently I have to store one in iCloud to be able to use passkeys with their app (not the browser app! those work fine with 1Password!!)
