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...
I've just read through this entire thread and there are soooooo many people asking for native autofill using the official API's.
If there are sooo many people asking for this on a regular basis why are the official replies just "thanks for letting us know you want this, i've have passed your feedback to the development team"?
Surely with all these "passes to the dev team", it should be plainly obvious that this is a feature people actually want.
I know you like to keep cards close to your chest but surely in cases like this, can we have a bit of transparency and just let us know if this is in development or not. If not then just come out and tell us so that we know and people can stop hoping for it.
Posts in here go back over 2 years! Come on 1Password, let us know what's happening with this.
At the end of the day, we're the ones paying for your product.

Thank you so much for your patience while waiting for a response. I understand how valuable macOS AutoFill support would be for you. While I don’t have any new information to announce at the moment, this is something that our team is exploring. As soon as there’s official news, we’ll be sure to share it.

Well that doesn't help at all! Either let us know it's being worked on, or if it's NOT then tell us the reason why and we'll be understanding of that reason.
What's going on? Just give us some information.

I understand this may not be the update you were hoping for. To add some more context: our team has historically focused on the browser extension and Universal Autofill on macOS (the two filling methods that we support currently), and adding a third filling method requires careful planning and additional resources, which can impact other ongoing projects.
This is something the team has been looking into, though I don’t have specifics to share just yet. Thank you for the continued feedback.

1P_Dave Can I get a response to my post please? We don't want anymore "Passing on your requests to the dev team" nonsense.
A clear answer indicating if native autofill is coming or not, and if not, then at least tell us why. There may be a good clear sensible reason, and if so then I guess we'll all be understanding.
Please don't leave us like this. It's not a great look.
I think this sums it up perfectly! While I'm now using Apple Passwords, I've left a copy of everything in 1Password in case they add native autofill support. I PREFER to use 1Password, but I prefer the native autofill experience and the greater stability/reliability that comes with that.
I've submitted multiple emails, I've posted, and I've also read the repeated requests over the past several years, and the response is always the same. And I'm willing to continue paying, but not if this doesn't get addressed.
