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!

    -Dave

Thank you for your prompt response. In regards to your two points:

  1. You are absolutely right about the webapps. I was mainly talking about apps that come in a native container, but use embedded web technolgies such as electron for the whole app (such as Microsoft Teams) or at least the login/SSO part. Especially the latter is very important for me because a lot of my work stuff integrates with Azure AD. Those apps all work with password entry and passkeys via the native implementation. I have checked with passkeys in iCloud Keychain and a colleague tells me that something called Strongbox (?) works as well. On the other hand with 1P you are out of luck because you can't install extensions in these 'native' apps.
  2. The most annoying cases in which Universal Autofill hasn't worked for me are Cisco Jabber and Webex, although at least in Webex this has been fixed in the latest version. It also does not work in vmware Remote Console and something called PP3D (this is B2B tooling, I don't think it is publicly available). My theory is that those things do something to prevent input via the Acessiblity features of macOS because of some security policy? Or maybe just a badly configured SSO? Whatever it is, the native password integration just works.
