1Password and DuckDuckGo

My household uses DuckDuckGo (DDG) on on desktops, laptops, phones. After looking at the issues here regarding integration with and using 1P with DDG, I think I'll hold off on purchasing this product...

The Autofill feature rarely works on DuckDuckGo (DDG). In fact, I cannot even login to 1Password | Community using DDG, I have to use Chrome. With their OWN product I cannot even login here to complain about support for it.

It'd be one thing if I could press Shift+Cmd+space on my DDG browser and do AutoFill that way, but nope. It works maybe half the time or less.

Additionally, Passkeys just DO NOT work at all on DDG. That also should be simple to support. Both of these features work fine on Chrome, and many support agents here say, "Just use Shift-Cmd (Ctrl)-Space to use 1P on DDG," but nope, barely works, if at all.

Come on 1P, your audience is privacy-focused, and security conscious, you really should work harder on better support for DDG's browser.

Thank you for the feedback. DuckDuckGo doesn't support third-party browser extensions like 1Password. This means that most of 1Password's autofill and passkey features won't be available in that browser since they rely on our browser extension. 

Can you clarify if you're using a Mac or a Windows PC? I might be able to offer some additional suggestions but 1Password won't be able to fully work in DuckDuckGo unless that browser introduces support for third-party extensions in the future.

    MacOS. iOS. Does Firefox work relatively well?

    It’s actually surprising to me, but I rely so heavily on 1P that I may consider changing back to Firefox from DDG if there’s better support there on MacOS.

    Thanks for your kind reply and sorry if I sounded a bit whiny! It’s just SO frustrating to try even the suggested alternative (Shift CMD Space to launch 1P) and have it not work either. Seems like it’d just be a simple matter of JavaScript, but I suppose that’s what an extension is, just “approved JS that’s allowed to run in the browser”).

    Thanks again.

      Thanks for the reply! I completely understand how frustrating it can be when something as important as autofill isn't working properly when you need it. Firefox is a supported browser and works very well with 1Password on both macOS and iOS. Here's how you would fill logins on both platforms in Firefox: 



      Out of curiosity, can you provide one or two websites where Universal Autofill (Shift-Command-Spacebar) failed to fill your login credentials in DuckDuckGo on your Mac? Although DuckDuckGo isn't an officially supported browser, I can take a look to see if what might be going wrong there.
