Auto-fill frequently stops working (macOS, Safari)
Issue: The auto-fill feature in Safari frequently becomes non-responsive. This causes frustration because a first order feature for a password manager has an obvious bug. This results in me wanting to look for alternatives to 1Password.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a login page that under expected circumstances should auto-fill.
- Select username field. Unlock 1Password if necessary.
- Display contextual 1Password dropdown within user field.
- With cursor, select desired item from menu.
- No response. When selected the item does not populate the field.
Expected result: Selecting an item in the 1Password menu should populate the credential fields.
Workarounds: (both of these are unacceptable)
- Roundtrip manually copy/paste out of native 1Password app.
- Quitting and reopening Safari.
Config:
- 1Password for Mac 8.10.64 (81064007)
- Version 18.3 (20620.2.4.11.5)
- macOS 15.3.1 (24D70)
- 2018 Mac Mini
