Can't drag and drop from quick search
From the quick search window (is that what you call it?), you cannot drag and drop the password/username.
If I click "Open Item in New Window" then I can drag and drop from there, but why the extra step?
I recently encountered this issue, when using the Windows Subsystem for Linux because it didn't like copy/pasting my password into Windows Terminal. (Though other stuff in Windows Terminal has been fine).
1Password Version: 8.5
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10 21H2

Hi fstorch, I'm sorry to learn of this. While I can't promise any specific feature for future versions of 1Password (at least, not before they're released), we definitely plan to keep improving the app everywhere we can. We do appreciate you letting us know that the drag-and-drop capability would be useful for you, and we're passing the feedback on to our development team. Thanks for offering to test the feature in the future, too. I'd love for that to happen. 🙏

After working for a while with 1PW8, I decided to give up on quick access completely now, due to the missing drag'n'drop capability. Using the Main Window is much more versatile for me. It's a pity that you invested so much time in Quick Access and it renders useless for me. Hope that some more effort will be done to it, to add that basic feature. I'm happy to test any according future enhancements to it.

Hey @ArnaudL, I've added your voice to the internal feature request to help highlight user interest in drag and drop from Quick Access. Thanks!

I'll also be in favor of having the drap&drop (of the password field by default) from the quick access bar

Using 1Password for Windows 8.8.0 80800012 NIGHTLY I noticed that when I use Cursor right in quick access it selects automatically "Open Object in new window Ctrl-O" which would be great - if that behavior would be sticky. Currently it is back to Copy Username Ctrl-C

I've shared your thoughts internally about being able to drag and drop from Quick Access. As you've noted, the best recommendation at the moment would be using Quick Access to open the item in a new window, then drag and drop the relevant field across. We're always using feedback like this to inform the future of 1Password though!

I actually use a different clipboard history software (3dClipboard) and the copied password shows up on that list and also will not be removed after 90 seconds although it is removed from the clipboard.
But even if this would be working, 90 seconds are enough for any criminal sw on the pc to grab the password from the clipboard. So IMHO a password should never be copied and there are very programs meanwhile that don't support Drag'n'drop - tmakaroFrequent Contributor
fstorch If you copy passwords for 1Password, the 1Password makes sure that it doesn't get saved into Windows clipboard history, so unless you are using a different clipboard history software that's a none-issue. You can also set 1Password to delete the clipboard info after 90 seconds with mitigates other clipboard issues. (Of course this doesn't negate the need for drag and drop).
