  1. I have tried turning off and on again the AutoFill in the 1password extension for Safari. Still when I tab to a password field in my browser the menu does not reliably appear.

Ok. By "does not reliably appear" do you mean that on some websites it does and on others it doesn't? Or that even on the same page sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't? I'd like to figure out what's going on here so we can investigate.

  1. QuickAccess does not autofill anything. Instead it insists on opening a new copy of the webpage in a new tab and filling credentials there!

Hmm, this sounds like a bug too. If you're already on the page listed in the item, it should fill directly on that page. Is this also for specific sites or across the board?

  1. IF the 1Password window is open when you trigger QuickAccess and select View Details, then the 1Password window is what has focus, not the details window

Boy, I'm still not able to reproduce this. I opened the 1Password window, then invoked Quick Access with Command-Shift-Space, then Command-O on the first item shown there and the details window opens with focus properly set.

Also... if QuickAccess is so wonderful and can fill any field on my Mac, why do I need the browser extension? Should I get rid of it?

Dan clarified this, but it is up to you, yeah. I found it really amazing to disable the Safari extension and still be able to sign into sites with a single keyboard shortcut. I ended up enabling the extension again when I happened upon a page that Quick Access wasn't able to fill. 🙈 But I would have enabled it again anyway for the other reasons Dan mentioned.

Is there a matrix of what version I should be running? Like If you run 1Password 8.7 you should be running Browser extension v3 and CLI v2?

You probably want to be on the latest versions of everything, yeah. The latest browser extensions can operate independently of any desktop app, but they can also integrate with the desktop apps in nice ways. On the CLI front, the work we've been doing with Touch ID and SSH keys is also only in the latest versions of the apps.
