    Hello folks,

    The macOS AutoFill feature is now being explored in the nightly version of 1Password! If you're using a nightly build, you'll see 1Password appear as an option for macOS AutoFill.

    Since nightly builds are early previews of what we're working on, this feature is still a work in progress and isn't documented. You might notice a few rough edges or areas that aren't fully implemented just yet. Our team is actively refining the experience and working through known issues as we move forward.

    We're excited about where this is headed and will share more updates, and a full announcement, down the line. In the meantime, if you have questions or spot anything unexpected while using the nightly version, we'd love to hear from you!

    -Dave

I'm just going to bullet point reasons I feel native autofill is a necessity:

  • no conflicting with Hide My Email
  • no conflicting with email autofill (no, I don't want 1Password to handle this)
  • no conflicting with passkeys dialogue box
  • no requirement to use universal autofill (I don't personally care for it)
  • I prefer using touchID for every autofill
  • autofilling security codes from 3rd party apps in iOS 26
  • when 1Password Safari has issues, or Safari has issues, users still have autofill via the API
    • the issue from this previous year would have been non-issues during the wait for a Safari update
    • While the 1Password team have acknowledged and are working on issues with macOS 26, there are similar issues with Safari in that, and, if not fixed before the release likely to be next month, we'll be dealing with this all over again. 
  • User choice is better: make universal autofill and 1Password Safari options, as well as native autofill
  • Some people have different use cases and preferences, including using more than one manager or managing certain things in different places (passwords=1Password, Email and Hide My Email=Apple)
