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 figured out that it needed to be connected to the browser at present. I was then able to get autofill to function. I had to double tap a selection to fill. 2FA codes won’t fill right now, and I couldn’t get passkeys to work.

Thanks for taking time to provide the feedback.

> I had to double tap a selection to fill

The double tap to fill behaviour comes from a need to also support keyboard navigation but it is something we are keeping an eye on as you are not the first to report that it was unexpected to need to double click to fill.

> 2FA codes won't fill

I also observed that OTP codes do not fill and have an issue raised with apple and am working with them to try and resolve it

> passkeys

In the internal testing we have done on test sites, passkeys have been working, if you are prepared to share details of sites on which it failed for you, I'd be happy to investigate it further

    I just tired a passkey and 2FA code with Amazon, which is the site where it didn't work yesterday. My first attempt today also didn't work. I then clicked the 1Password icon on my Mac's top toolbar and authenticated with my fingerprint. Then everything worked, including 2FA. A few observations. First, having to click/select a login option only once rather than twice is much preferred. Having the password autofill after selecting a login would be great (not sure if that's doable). From using Apple Passwords with native autofill for the past several months, I never have to open Apple Passwords before autofilling a password, nor do I have to have it open at login. I do have to authenticate with Touch ID for each autofill event. I'm not certain how these things operate with 3rd party managers. It would be nice to not have to open 1Password in order for autofill to work, but to have the app as an option for searching/managing/adding to my vault. 

    Thanks!
