    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!

1P_Dave Thank you for the response, Dave!

I do agree that the Universal AutoFill invention by 1Password is usually fine and even works in websites, it doesn't fill any one time passwords for me however. And it completely falls apart when we talk about Passkeys, to get the same fidelity as on iOS, 1Password would also have to support the system-wide AutoFill by Apple on macOS as the OP requested.

Without one time passwords or Passkeys, Universal AutoFill is a nice idea, but still remains just a hack. Apple has a way for other password managers to perfectly tie into the system, so I would really really encourage you to adopt AutoFill on macOS as well and publish a statement regarding this. :D Thank you.
