    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

Your insistence on maintaining control is actively degrading user experience.

We’re a 1Password Business customer, and we’ll be churning over this issue. The current implementation breaks the flow for passkey-based IDPs that use their own WebAuthN credential providers. Our users constantly have to click “bypass”just to access the Apple-provided UI for every other credential source.

This isn’t a technical limitation, it’s a philosophical one. You already implement the Credential Provider API correctly on iOS. There’s no excuse not to do the same on macOS.

Please get over the need to own the entire experience and implement this properly.

Hi troutzero​,

Thanks for taking the time to give this feedback. If you didn't see our latest Ask Me Anything on Reddit, I wanted to link a response to a question about supporting macOS autofill just to share our current thinking:

We've been taking a heavier look at MacOS autofill in the second half of this year to see if the limitations we encountered previously have been alleviated or if they're still present. Although not perfect and not where we ideally want it to be, integrating with native MacOS autofill is looking promising. If we're able to have our concerns addressed with the API to ensure 1Password customers can seamlessly use MacOS autofill without fear of falling through the cracks, I don't see a reason to not integrate in the near future.
