    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

I want to second the other comments in this thread that explain why native autofill would make for a better user experience. But I'm also troubled by the fact that the two alternatives offered for Mac users require either 1) a Safari extension that can read and alter every web page that I visit or 2) permission to view and control everything that happens on my computer. Yikes! Yes, I realize that we are already placing a lot of trust in 1Password. But I'd expect a security focused company to understand the principle of least privilege. The native autofill API is not just the best user experience -- it's the most secure solution.
