    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

One additional place 1Password's auto fill fails but native succeeds is in the Windows App (formerly Remote Desktop) (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/windows-app/id1295203466). When I remote into Windows and want to fill in a UAC prompt or unlock the desktop, Cmd+\ asks for permission to use the password I select and I approve but nothing happens.

If my password is in Passwords.app, I can go to Edit > AutoFill and it fills as expected. (Maybe it's virtually invoking key presses or something? Or maybe it's doing private API stuff?)
