Application detection in 1PW8 doesn't work as in 1PW7
Hi all!
Previously in 1PW7 for MacOS there was functionality that when I've had an app X on top and then used 1PW shortcut to open Quick Access menu, it automatically detects the app ID (ie. for iTerm2 it is com.googlecode.iterm2) and tried to match wallet entries including URL matching app id (ie. app://com.googlecode.iterm2).
It was very useful to easyly autofill paswords not only in browser but in every app on my Mac.
In 1PW8 it doesn't work. I have a lot of entries with app://com.googlecode.iterm2 and other apps and it never hints proper entry from wallet.
It sometimes match the app with wallet entry but definitely not by this ID (for example today I've installed Battle.net app and when I tried to login 1PW8 displayed my saved Battle.net password and automatically filled into Battle.net app (!) but I dont have app ID matched with this entry, so it works in some different way.
Could you please fix this behavior? It was great feature I was using every day.
Thanks.

Yes, there are some that may not work or perhaps we don't have the needed work done for that app on our side. Please let me know what apps you're having trouble with and I can get those before the team.

Let us know how it goes. I hope you'll love Quick Access and Universal Autofill.
Brillant!
For other users searching for an answer:
1. While an app you want to fill creds in is on top open Quick Access
2. Search for an item (only for the first time)
3. Click three dots on the right of entry you want to associate with app
4. Select Autofill
5. Choose Fill & Update login - wallet item will be associated with given app from nowNext time it will display item as a hint while opening Quick Access

When an item is associated you'll see something like this. This is how my Fastmail login looks because I use the app Fastmate.

1Password 8 does not use that method (URL - app://…). Please look into using Quick access and associating logins with your app. I think you'll like it much more once you train that muscle memory as I am doing now.
