Integration with “AutoFill & Passwords” in MacOS
In iOS, it’s super easy to make the 1Password app the default password manager for the whole OS. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be possible to do this on a Mac.
Is this feature already available? If not, when can we expect to see it?
Hello Ben! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! 1Password doesn't use the "AutoFill & Passwords" feature in macOS System Settings so you won't see it listed there. Instead you can save and fill your login credentials using one of the following methods:
- 1Password in the browser: Get to know 1Password in your browser
- Universal Autofill: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
I recommend that you turn off the "AutoFill & Passwords" feature in macOS Settings to avoid conflicts and then make sure that the built-in password manager is also turned off in your browser: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browserI can't say whether the "AutoFill & Passwords" feature will be supported in the future but I'll pass along your comments to the team internally that this is something that you'd like to see. Thank you for the feedback!

As mentioned in this post, I'd also really like to see At this point, it feels really rather broken to me that 1Password on macOS doesn't integrate with the system password keychain stuff. It works so nicely on iOS. Universal Autofill rarely seems to work the way I expect, and I might be wrong, but it seems like there are times that passkeys can't be used from 1Password because it's a system prompt, not the browser.
Is this feature any more likely to be seen?
Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback! This is something that our team is looking into but I don't have any news to share at the moment.

Is this happening on a specific website? Which browser are you using? Have you already completely turned off the built-in password manager: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser
