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 just read the post Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS.  The post by 1P_Dave 1 month ago seems like something I will look into.  The older posts of that topic (ranging back several years) seem to contribute a whole bunch of noise so I have some reading to do before I jump in.

Thanks for getting me pointed at possible solutions!

I did install the nightly update as recommended by 1P_Dave​ .  I see no real difference in the 1Password settings that I need to enable to use the "Native Autofill" so I am guessing I do have it enabled.  The discussions I've read in the community seem to avoid the topic of using 1Password to log into 3rd party apps using passkeys.

    I'm sorry for the confusion. I merged your thread into our existing thread for macOS AutoFill, that's the feature that allows password managers to sign into non-browser macOS apps using passkeys.

    This feature isn’t yet supported in the production version of 1Password for Mac, which is why you’re prompted to either scan a QR code or use a security key. You can select “Scan QR Code” and use your mobile device’s camera to sign in with 1Password on your phone. Alternatively, you can sign in to Fastmail using another method, like your password.

    We're currently testing support for macOS AutoFill in the latest beta and nightly versions of 1Password. This will allow you to sign in to non-browser desktop apps using a passkey saved in 1Password on your Mac. After updating to the beta/nightly, lock and unlock 1Password manually and then follow these steps: 

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
    3. Click Settings, then click AutoFill.
    4. Click Set up macOS AutoFill. 



    Note: this feature is currently being tested and you might run into bugs. If you do run into issues then let us know!

      Thanks for the reply.  I have it set up as you describe and the macOS settings reflect the updates 1PW is working on.  I was then able to use my passkey.  So it appears you all have things moving forward nicely.

      Thanks again!

    Not certain how my original post made it into this monster several year old topic.  I didn't receive any notifications that it had been moved and there are some differences in my topic that do not seem to be in the original topic. Specifically using passkeys to log in to 3rd party apps on macOS. The "Solution" marked for this thread does not answer my question.

    I don't come to this site very often but the new community website is certainly not making it easy for me to find what I am searching for and there doesn't even seem to be a way for me to check in on previous posts.
