app:// linking support in version 8

@pdokas @leonmax

It'd be helpful to see what 1Password is "thinking" when it performs the Universal Autofill into the Tunnelblick app. I've not seen any reports of issues using Universal Autofill with Tunnelblick, but I do know that VPN apps in general can be a bit troublesome. Could you try Universal Autofill in Tunnelblick, then send us a diagnostics report so we can see 1Password's filling logic in action?

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com.

If you'd like to use a different item for Universal Autofill, don't press ⌘\ (Command–Backslash). If you have only one item linked to the target app, that item will be autofilled with no confirmation.

To choose another item to use, or to use that item in another app, open Quick Access by pressing ⇧⌘Space (Shift–Command–Space), find the item you want, then press ⇧↩ (Shift–Enter) to autofill it. You'll see a prompt asking if you just want to Fill Once, or you can link it to the item by choosing Fill & Update Login.

Hope that helps!

Any updates on this? This is one of the most unbearable drawbacks of 1P8, I miss 1P7 so much now.

The suggestion about using the Quick Access window to teach 1P8 to bind the app and saved password works, but has a critical bug that prevents it from working for me.

My VPN requires a user name, password, and TOTP. Opening the Tunnelblick auth window with a field for each of the three requirements and then invoking 1P8’s Quick Access window, finding the VPN entry, and telling it to autofill results in the password being put into the TOTP field which obviously doesn't work.

It would be great if 1P8 could figure out which field from the saved password to put into which field in the auth window.

Is it possible to link more than one password to the app, e.g. app://com.apple.SecurityAgent might pop up because of a variety of reasons, but ever since I linked an app to one of my items, it auto-fills without letting me associate a different item to it, as well.

@immaginazione:

To replicate this in 1P8, when the VPN log-in window pops up, pressing cmd-\ will bring up the 1P8 quick access window without a default entry. Once you select the correct entry though, and tell 1P8 to fill and update the entry, it remembers the associated app in subsequent login attempts and will autofill name/PW/2FA in one fell swoop. Actually quite beautiful!

I loved hearing about this - thank you for sharing! 🙌

My workflow is the following:

1. Open iTerm2
2. Trigger a command that requires a one-time password to authenticate on the command line

At this point, I used to click 1password mini and all my logins with the relevant OTPs would be visible. I'd click to copy and paste.

Now, I have to:
1. Press Command + \
2. None of the relevant items appear, so I have to type the full name of the item.
3. Press "arrow" once the item is highlighted
4. Press "down arrow" to select "copy one time password" (or use the keyboard shortcut)

At the very least, I'd love to have the item appear without me having to type the name of the item (Step 2). From the previous posts, it seems like this should be possible by selecting "Autofill" once. However, this doesn't select iTerm 2 as the application. It, for some reason, seems to think it's the MacOS login?

This is something I used for Tunnelblick VPN. Everytime I needed to add the 2FA Code I just open 1P quick access and it was filtered to my companies VPN access page :-( so usefull...

I was a bit confused here too but once I figured it out, it actually worked great. I had also used the app linking to associate my company's 1P7 entry with the VPN app we use. To replicate this in 1P8, when the VPN log-in window pops up, pressing cmd-\ will bring up the 1P8 quick access window without a default entry. Once you select the correct entry though, and tell 1P8 to fill and update the entry, it remembers the associated app in subsequent login attempts and will autofill name/PW/2FA in one fell swoop. Actually quite beautiful!

What would be awesome is if I could somehow set certain passwords to have an associated MacOS application.

Isn't that exactly what the new Universal Autofill feature does?

Also on iOS this was a very handy feature...
Please think about a secure way to implement this 🙏🏾
