4 years agoFeature Request: Support Universal Autofill in apps created using WebCatalog
Long time 1Password user here!
Universal Autofill — one of the hands-down best features of version 8 — stopped working for me in most of my apps due to this change in https://releases.1password.co...

3 years agoI'm sorry for the disappointment. For security reasons, Universal Autofill currently requires a valid code signature on all apps that it fills into. WebCatalog apps use "adhoc" code signatures which have no cryptographic proof to back up their validity and are not compatible with Universal AutoFill.
Universal Autofill initially working with apps that use ad-hoc signatures was a bug that was resolved in version 8.7.1 (as you said in your initial post): We now verify the code signature of apps before we allow filling using Universal Autofill.
As mentioned, we do have an internal work item open to investigate supporting ad-hoc signatures without compromising on the security of Universal Autofill but I can't make any promises on when, or if, our development team will be able to build this support. Supporting ad-hoc signatures requires both security and development work and, to be honest, we've received only a limited number of requests to build this support so far.
I know that this isn't the answer that you were hoping for. The request remains filed with the team internally and the team and I will continue to track requests from customers and to advocate to our development team that this is something that some folks find necessary for their workflow.
