A couple of comments about the macOS Autofill. I've been trying it the last few days. 

1. I have the universal autofill on, and this at the same time. Seems like I should turn one of them off. What's the recommended way to turn off universal autofill and stay with macOS autofill?

2. The new macOS autofill asks for a touchID every single time, where universal autofill remembered me and I can skip this step. Is there a way to get macOS autofill to skip that step?

Mirv​ Thank you for helping us test the feature! I'll reply below:

Universal Autofill isn't being removed at this time. You can keep both features turned on at the same time. 

The new macOS autofill asks for a touchID every single time, where universal autofill remembered me and I can skip this step. Is there a way to get macOS autofill to skip that step?

Try changing this setting: 

  1. Click on the Apple logo  in the menu bar, then click System Settings.
  2. Click Touch ID & Password.
  3. Turn off "Use Touch ID for autofilling passwords". 


Let me know how that goes.

    Thanks, that is helpful! I guess it seems ok to have two ways to fill at the same time.

    One other thing I noticed is that if I have multiple login items for the site, the 1Password universal signin popup near the top will give one default choice (the one I prefer), but the macOS autofill inline menu will give the other choice. Not sure how it decides.
