[Bug] "Type in Windows" doesn't work for Apple apps (iTunes, Apple TV Preview etc.) on Windows.

I have iTunes 12.6.5.3 installed. When I go to the login screen there and try to use 1Password's "Type in Window" option, it doesn't do anything. I installed Apple TV Preview app from MS Store, and tried to login into that, using 1Password's "Type in Window". It doesn't do anything there either.

To verify that I'm not doing something wrong, I tried it on Amazon Appstore app on Windows; and it was able to fill the password there.

So, I'm guessing 1Password has problem when the password field is in an overlay like window on top of the underlying app; like iTunes does.

1Password Version: 1Password for Windows 8.10.0 (81000009)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11 22H2
Browser:_ Chrome

    Thanks for the update ag_mike_d .
    I updated to the nightly build [version says 1Password for Windows 8.10.1 (81001001)] and it is now able to fill username password in the Apple apps (iTunes.)
    Thanks a bunch.

    Hello @1Passworder1,

    I hope you are doing well. I just want to drop a quick note that the team had looked into this issue with Type in window for those Apple apps.

    'Type in window' didn't support dialog windows, but this has been added to a recent Nightly build. Would you mind giving this a try and letting us know if you have any further troubles? You can follow this guide to Use 1Password beta releases and for step three, after clicking Advanced, you can set the “Release channel” to Nightly instead of Beta.

    Let us know how things go with these Apple apps!

    Hello @1Passworder1,

    Thank for your message and reporting this behaviour with iTunes and the Apple TV app on Windows. I've been able to reproduce this with the type in window feature and have passed the details of your report along to the Development team for investigation.

    In the meantime, I've tested and have had no issues copying/pasting or dragging/dropping credentials from 1Password to the iTunes app. This should work for you until we have some additional news to share about this failure to type in window. Thanks again!
