Dragging and dropping usernames and passwords sometimes loses characters. This is most reproducible (50%+) in remote desktop windows but also occasionally happens in browsers. Normally seems to be one of the first few letters. Drag and drop is from the entry displayed in the main 1password window. No addons etc. involved. Here's a (anonymised) example: Saved Username: DOMAIN\martin Usernames from drag & drop: DMAIN\martin OMAIN\martin 1Password Version: 8.6.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Windows 11 21H2

Hi folks, We've done some more testing and had some great results when dragging and dropping into RDP sessions, thanks martinsteel! If you're still having some issues, would like to try this out and comfortable adding an Environment Variable, I'll include those details below: Step 1. - Add an Environment Variable 1. Open the start menu or use Windows search and type in env and press enter. 2. Select Edit environment variables for your account. 3. Click New. 4. Enter OP_CLASSIC_INPUT for the variable name and 1 for the value. Click OK. 5. Click OK again to exit. It should look similar to this when you are done: Step 2. - Download and install the latest Nightly version of 1Password 8 for Windows * https://downloads.1password.com/win/1PasswordSetup-latest.NIGHTLY.exe Let us know how you make out, so we can pass your feedback along to the team. Thanks! ref: dev/core/core#13810

Hi ag_mike_d Just an update to let you know drag and drop is still working well with the OP_CLASSIC_INPUT environment variable in place. I've had less failures in almost a month of use than I was getting in a hour before.

Hi martinsteel, thanks for this question. I'm not sure I've come across this before, but I'll try to reproduce it and will run it by some other folks here as well. Thank you for letting us know - and we'll hope to have more for you soon!

Hi 1P_PeterG, just in case it helps, I've done a bit more testing. I can reproduce on a couple of different computers with both Windows 10 and 11 and it has affected all 1password versions from 8.4 upwards (not tried any v8 releases before that).

Hi everyone, I was just coming to the forums to make the same post as Martin about Remote Desktop (RDP) with drag and drop. I've had sporadic issues since 8 released, but its gotten much worse recently. In the past I would just try again and it would work, now I'm seeing failures in the 80%+ of the time.. Enough to just have had my account locked. Strangely I've been seeing the Mandarin character: 䀀 getting copied 1/10 times as the second or third character. [neither the source or destination machine has Mandarin language pack installed] Same as Martin that its always the first character or the first and second character, the rest of the string seems to copy fine. Any fix would be welcomed. Having to reveal and type 32 character passwords each time a RDP locks is quite annoying. Thanks!

We appreciate the updated feedback, martinsteel.

I'm happy to hear this is working better, but you are still seeing constant issues with remote and applications over remote desktop. I've included these updates for the team. We'll be in touch once when we have more news to share.

Hi ag_mike_d, more feedback on drag and drop. It's definitely working better but is completely useless dragging in to any sort of remote session. Both of these examples worked absolutely fine in 1Password 7.

Applications over Remote Desktop has the same problem as before where some of the first characters are dropped, such as filling in a field in a browser that's open on that Remote Desktop.
e.g. mailto:my.email@domain.com becomes something like mailto:memail@domain.com

Apache Guacamole (web based remote access) is even worse and drops a significant number of characters.

Hello martinsteel / PatchCharron / DenalB,

I have some good news to share!

A new Beta (8.9.7-31) was released today and includes the following fix for extra or missing characters when using "Type in window" or drag and drop. While this specifically mentions Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions, if folks are still seeing an issue, could you please test this out and let us know if you are still seeing any troubles: Use 1Password beta releases

Thanks and looking forward to your replies!
