1Password Keyboard for the smartphone

Hi @benhandley, thanks for weighing in on this. I can definitely see the benefit of an alternate filling option, especially on small screens where drag and drop can be a bit cumbersome. +1 added.

I also frequently needed to use the keyboard. eg I just tried to log in to the sonos app, and didn't get any autofill suggestion, so I had to do the tedious switch to 1P8 app and back. There are far too many problem sites/apps for this to be solvable by just fixing them one by one, we really need a catchall and the keyboard worked pretty well for that.

Hello dlitz, @DrSuSE, @rscott78, @bjlewis2, @RichardGaspa, thanks very much for sharing your feedback. I've passed it along to the team and added your +1's.

As mentioned, our focus for filling is currently the Autofill service with split screen mode to drag and drop as an alternative. With the 1Password keyboard being part of your normal workflow, I can fully understand why this feels like a step back and I'm sorry for the trouble.

DrSuSE thanks for letting us know about the Ox the Barber app. I've filed that with the team. I did try using their website in Chrome instead and I was able to fill test credentials in the login page.

Thanks again!

I could not agree more. Something needs to be done by 1Password to solve this problem.

I have plenty of times where auto fill isn't available as well. We use a local bank and their app doesn't support it, so I either have to use a weak password that I can remember, or do the clunky switch-back-and-forth-between-apps dance to copy and paste it (which is what I do... And it's always frustrating)

1P_Timothy can we get some further thought sharing here please?

Agreed with DrSuSE and dlitz. I just upgraded to 1p8 and am finding all sorts of apps that don't have autofill. I'm having to downgrade to 1p7 in order to get the keyboard option so I can use those other apps.

As a small example, the app my Barber uses has two points where credentials need to be filled. Their appointment scheduling and the PayPal deposit. I'm both cases, 1P7 worked fine, 1P8 says auto fill isn't available and since there's no keyboard fallback, I have to go into 1P, copy the info, go back to the app, etc. It's a pain.

There are lots of instances where this is the case, lesser known apps and such. Just add the keyboard back please.

Just adding in that auto fill is great, but in the cases where auto fill still doesn't function, the 1P 7 Keyboard was an amazing backup. Please bring it back. I hate that I'll otherwise need to revert to 1P 7 just for that.

Like, honestly, what Android device/version are you guys using internally, such that it gives you the impression that the auto-fill framework is good enough that you can afford to have no fallback?

The 1password keyboard was the only thing that worked unconditionally on my Samsung A32 5G (purchased in Canada, running Android 12), and that's really important to me, because of various badly-designed apps that block auto-fill on their login screens, and apparently even Chrome on Android doesn't always provide it as an option.

This seems like a design decision driven by wishful thinking & convenience for your PMs, rather than actual user experience.
