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!

edit: macOS AutoFill is now being tested with the beta version of 1Password and we plan to share a fuller announcement soon. 

-Dave

    I just installed the nightly version and can now select 1Password as the Mac autofill option. One early observation. I still can't select 1Password for "Set Up Codes In". Hoping that will come as things move along, but wanted to give feedback, just in case, that that second option is also really wanted!

      Noted, thank you!  I have filed a ticket to investigate what is needed to get this hooked up.

      I have the same observation. Additionally, every attempt to use "1Password" in the inline autofill menu results in a "Failed to connect to 1Password.app" message. Hopefully, this will get resolved in a new nightly build.

        Hi, I am a developer here at 1Password.  I believe what you are seeing here is unintended.  For this current early version of the native macOS extension to communicate with 1Password.app, it will need either the 1Password.app->Settings->Browser->Connect with 1Password in the browser enabled OR 1Password.app->Settings->Developer->Integrate with 1Password CLI enabled.  I will file an issue to fix this and follow up on it so that it is not coupled to either of these two settings and can be used independently of them.

        Edited to add: if this is not the cause of the issue you are observing, please do let me know so we can figure out what is going wrong here
