Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to auto-fill passwords that are saved in the Servers category in 1Password 8. It doesn't seem to be the case. For example, I would like to auto-fill passwords into the terminal and Remote Desktop apps. But only logins and passwords have an auto-fill option. Is there a list of categories that work with auto-fill? Are are there plans to make other categories auto-fill compatible or should I create logins for things I want to be able to autofill? Thank you. 1Password Version: 8 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided

Hey @Nil: Great question! While the Autofill option isn't explicitly displayed, you can use ⌘+Return to fill the username and password from a Server item. 😁 Jack

I was also expecting the Server category to allow auto-fill and same for the "Admin Console" fields.

@Jack.P_1P: I Tried to figure out how the ⌘+Return like you mentioned is supposed to work, but either I'm doing something wrong or it does not work. Could you explain how and where this is supposed to work?

Hey snork: As an example, in Cyberduck, I can enter my server URL in the new connection dialog, then open Quick Access (using ⌘+Shift+Space) and search for my login credentials stored in that server item, then press ⌘+Return to fill and hit enter. Let me know how you get on with that. Jack

Jack_P_1P, sorry for the late reply, but the annoyance continues. I tried, but your suggestion does not work.

That's good feedback and, while I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request on your behalf to have the team look into including Server items in the login suggestions menu in the browser.

Thank you for helping us make 1Password better.

This does work, I just wonder if I'll remember to do that in ~6 months when I need to do that the next time...

Thanks for reaching out. 1Password in the browser won't suggest Server items but you should still be able to use Universal Autofill to fill the login from a Server item. Try these steps:

Navigate to the website that you'd like to fill your login into.

Press Shift-Command-Spacebar on your keyboard to bring up Quick Access.

Search for the Server item, highlight it, and then press Shift-Enter.

The first time that you use Universal Autofill you'll need to setup the feature. If filling doesn't work then make sure that Universal Autofill is setup correctly: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

Once Universal Autofill is setup, try the steps again. Let me know how it goes!

I just ran into the same issue. I created a server item and added the suggested admin console URL, but it doesn't offer the item when I try to log in in the browser. Adding a separate URL field didn't help either.

Thank you for the feedback, I can certainly pass along your request to the team as well. Are you trying fill a Server item or a Login item? And are you filling into a specific Mac app or into a website open in your browser?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Adding a +1 to this thread. I still cannot believe this isn't an option.

This should also apply to the Wireless Routers as most are web accessible.

+1 on autofill for server logins.
in the interim I created a separate login item but its entirely redundant and creates more entries. I end up with the same info in several categories all to capitalize on autofill which is gargantuan :P
