macOS AutoFill is now in public beta!

Hey everyone!

We're excited to share that native macOS AutoFill is now available in public beta for 1Password. This has been one of the most requested features for years, and we're now at a point where you can test it out and give us feedback!

What's new in beta:

  • By adopting Apple's Passwords API, 1Password functions as a native Credential Provider on macOS for logins. You can view autofill suggestions directly within Safari and other supported desktop apps.
  • Passkey support is included in this beta as well. Fill, create and update passkeys easily through macOS autofill.
  • The 1Password Safari extension can be used alongside macOS AutoFill to access additional features not currently supported by the Passwords API.
  • Coming later in Beta, you can set up one time codes using the same integration.

How to try it:

  • Update to 1Password for macOS 8.12.22 or later from the beta channel.
  • Make sure you’re on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later on Apple silicon.
  • Go to 1Password for Mac Settings > Autofill > Set up macOS AutoFill, then select "Turn On" from the macOS permission prompt. You'll see "Active" status once it's enabled.


Try filling logins and passkeys and let us know how it goes! We're happy to be one of the first credential managers to adopt these APIs and we want to get it right for you.

    Not sure what I have been doing wrong (or right?) all these years, but I thought this was already available.  Or will this upgrade work without the browser extensions, and can use only the macOS app now?

      Thanks for the question! The screenshot you shared shows the suggestions menu from 1Password in the browser (the browser extension), and you’re absolutely welcome to keep using that experience.

      macOS AutoFill, currently being tested in the beta version of 1Password for Mac, lets you fill login credentials using the 1Password desktop app together with Apple’s native AutoFill feature. It works in Safari and other supported desktop apps on your Mac without relying on the browser extension for filling.

        Ah, that's the improvement!  It should work across applications also, not only in the browser (via browser extension).

        I have been looking forward to this -- saves a few second of copy/paste.
