Why is there no "Type in window" feature for Passwords and Usernames in the new 1Password 8 Update?

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
Extension Version: N/A
OS Version: Windows 10 Pro x64 21H2

+1 Just accepted an upgrade to v8 and seriously regretting it. One hour later, still can't log into RuneScape which doesn't support copy/paste of passwords and my password is 30 random characters. (no desire to have to type that in every time)

Hello @jhsperc, thanks for your feedback. I've added your +1.

@LoopVogel, I appreciate your additional feedback here and as noted in the other discussion you were part of, I've included your details in this feature request. Thanks!

Thank you @ag_mike_d

Drag/drop works for RuneScape, but not for when I'm prompted for the admin password by Windows. (thankfully sometimes copy/paste works for this, but it's something of a faff)

Add me to the list of wanting this feature restored, please. Use case is a locked-down virtual desktop that doesn't permit copy-paste.

Going to see if I can downgrade back to v7 as the type in window feature is vital. When you work with multiple VMs, RDP and other remote systems you soon get a large collection of passwords, which are mostly >30 characters. Missing this feature will cost me a lot of time. Clearly it is a popular feature as there are a number of threads asking where this has gone, so is it possible to be provided with a timeline as to when we might see this feature restored?
Until then, I am off to try downgrading back the v7.

Regards,
Steve

Hi folks,

Thank you for letting us know these are dealbreakers. We've added your votes to our issue tracker as such.

Just to clarify, we do plan to implement this support for 1Password 8 but we don't have a timeframe at the moment.
