Hello,
I updated my 1Password to 8.7.0-90. In the new looking UI is no option for "type in window".
I unfortunately used that feature very often, and would appreciate it being added.
Thanks,_ and greeting from Austria_


1Password Version: 8.7.0-90

This is so Important. I need this feature for support sessions in TeamViewer or Hyper-V RDP.
Please bring it back.

Hey @edikschneider, thanks for sharing your use case. I can certainly understand how this feature can affect your workflow.

I'd love to see this too.

We use a lot of different applications and a lot of RDP connections where we would use that!

I was used to do this with KeePass Auto-Type, this feature is great: https://keepass.info/help/base/autotype.html

Would be really useful to have this also as an option for when filling in a websites password to force the browser to 'type' the password instead of setting the field. This would fix a few sites that require you to physically type something into the box or sites that capture the keystroke and encode it into the password field. A simple "type this" checkbox option on the password would be awesome.

Those sites are most annoying, aren’t they @paullopez !?

+1 I also extensively used this in the prior version and am very disappointed it is gone in the latest version once updated. I used this extensively for Anydesk/Teamviewer/Remote Desktop etc - when copy/paste is not allowed or permitted.
