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...
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!

1Password TeamShould now be working again on NIGHTLY 1Password for Mac 8.12.22 (81222009)
Thanks craski I can confirm it is working. Can't tell you how much better this native integration works than the 1Password extension. I can't believe it has taken this long to get this feature into testing but I really am glad you've brought it to us.
I am not sure if you're able to / in a place to share - but if you're not and one of your colleagues is I'd really appreciate it - but can you give a bit of an oversight as to why you guys have been really reticent / slow to implement native auto fill in macOS (I mean there are threads going back 3 years asking for it)? I mean I get you may have differing views on its advantages and disadvantages but I think one thing we can all agree on is the way that Safari implements browser extension technologies is far from perfect and that has obviously led to a litany of issues with the 1Password Safari extension for years and years now. Native auto fill has been the obvious solution for such a long time and I am really puzzled as to why it has been such a low priority? I mean the Safari Extension has improved but it has never been 'good' and given you support native auto fill on iOS it just seems so bizarre about the delay in giving it to us on macOS.
This is even more puzzling when you look at the fact that 1Password started as a 'Mac First' App and in years gone past were always quick to jump on / adopt new Apple APIs, features etc.
On another note...
Is Universal Auto Fill (e.g. Command \) known to not work? Tried using it in a few places and it won't fill passwords (e.g. a System Prompt asking for my Mac Password)?

Great to hear the native extension is working for you now.
I am a developer but have passed your comments onto our product team who would be better placed to answer your questions.
I'll also pass your last note there about Universal Auto Fill on to the team responsible for that feature.
Thanks craski - it would be great to hear back from someone in the product team regarding the question posed above.
As for the Universal Auto Fill issue thanks for passing it on, I've tried it across a range of things now and its definitely broken on all of them...
Unlock with Device also seems to not be working consistently with the latest Nightly either (in case you weren't aware).
Cheers- craski
Noted 👍
I have informed the team that looks after Universal Autofill but I would suggest opening a new focussed thread with the issues your are seeing there to help bring attention and focus to it and get our support team to help and escalate if needed.
Same for the Unlock with Device aspects, a focussed thread will help that get the attention it deserves.
Thanks for taking time to report these.
Just wanted to co-sign the observation made by gussic . The native macOS autofill is working again in the latest nightly build. But the 1PW Universal Autofill feature has stopped working altogether.
