Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS
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!

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.

There is a setting 1Password.app->Settings->Autofill->One-Time Passwords-> Copy One-Time Passwords which will automatically copy OTP to the clipboard when you select a login to fill so it may help as a work-around in the short term whilst we work on getting it properly supported. With that setting on, it should also show a notification with the OTP in it when it is copied to clipboard (if you have given 1Password permission to show notifications in your macOS system settings)
I installed the nightly version of 1Password and set it as the auto-fill provider in the system settings, but the popup under the password field in Safari cannot display the fill prompt correctly; it only shows "1Password." When you click it, a reminder pops up asking you to disable auto-fill and use the browser extension instead. Is this because the current native auto-fill implementation cannot properly associate the websites opened in Safari with the login items saved in 1Password?

I'm not aware of a prompt in the new native extension that would cause the behaviour you are describing so am wondering if this is coming from an older version of the browser extension or something like that. We do have some work being done to integrate the native extension with the browser extension (so they can co-habit more than directly integrate with each other) so there may be different versions at play here. Are you able to provide a screen grab of the UI you see so I can investigate it further, and maybe also confirm the version of the browser extension you are using?
I opened 1Password from the system's native extensions, and the following image shows the effect of 1Password's native integration in the password fill box.
You click it and you will get the hints in the picture.
