Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS
https://1password.com/blog/autofill-on-big-sur is from WWDC 2020... It looks like there was a working demo of native Autofill back then. I get that the accessibility API mostly works most of the time, but one of 1password's biggest strengths used to be its tight integration with macOS, so to see this go unaddressed for more than half a decade is disappointing.
The reason I found my way to this thread is because I just discovered that the accessibility API doesn't seem to work with iPadOS apps running on macOS. Also cmd-\ often just stops working altogether.
ModeratorWelcome to the community! Our Group Product Manager Travis recently shed some light on our explorations with macOS AutoFill in our Reddit AMA:
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.
1Password 8 is more tightly integrated with macOS than any previous version with features like Universal Autofill and 1Password for Safari (a modern web extension using the latest Safari extension technology). The team will continue to explore ways to deepen that integration with features like macOS AutoFill.
