Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS
So one of the people in my family subscription for 1P relies heavily on iCloud Keychain. The nice piece about using the native autofill extension is entries from both show up together in-line. This h...
Adding another frustrated 1Password user regarding the lack of MacOS Autofill integration. I only started using 1Password the past 2 years and I've loved it on my iOS devices but on my Mac it is a constantly frustrating experience due to the poor reliability of the extensions. There really should be no excuse why this isn't supported other than it being an intentional choice since 1Password has already invested the money into extensions for different platforms and browsers.
As a former Apple employee and Product person, this is painful.
If this isn't sorted out by my next renewal in January 2026, I will not renew and will certainly being switching to Apple's Passwords app now that there is a more proper native password manager within the Apple ecosystem.
And if it is sorted, I will stay and will upgrade to the family bundle and let my family use it as well. At this moment it is too temperamental to have my 65+ mother and my less tech savvy partner use it full time.

I'm sorry that 1Password for Safari isn't working properly for you and your family. I've shared your request to have 1Password support the macOS AutoFill feature with our Product team and it will be considered for the future.
For the time being, can you tell me a little more about the issues that you're running into with 1Password in Safari? I'd like to help with those or open a bug report with our development team so that we can get those issues fixed.

The issue I am running into is that the Safari extension regularly bugs out and doesn't activate correctly, so it will be in the field I need it in but I can't get it to activate and populate the information. Unfortunately today, I missed out on an coveted Ontario parks camp site due to this because the extension bugged out, I had to close Safari and re-open it leading me to be delayed and someone else snagged the site. I've even had this happen when I need to log into Ticketmaster to grab tickets urgently during a pre-sale.
I am actually considering migrating my information to Apple Passwords this summer before my subscription runs out this November to cut down on the issues I am running into when it comes to this.
I am literally happy in every possible way with 1Password except for the macOS experience.

I'm sorry that 1Password for Safari didn't fill your login information into a webpage at an important time. It sounds like you're running into a known issue that our development team is working with our friends at Apple to resolve in a future update to Safari. If you run into the issue in the future then opening the current website in a new tab, or restarting Safari, will get things working again.
Alternatively, you can fill your items using the desktop app's Universal Autofill feature even if 1Password for Safari temporarily stops working: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
