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 happens on iOS (or if you use other password managers it secure by each provider but both are offered the same way together).
in terms of migration and allowing those who wish to use both depending on the context. It would be nice to support the native autofill extension, but further it limits exposure or need for safari extension. Should someone not want to use or can't install the extension due to work policy or just rather not use safari extensions
thanks.
1Password Version: 8.x
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.6
Browser:_ Safari

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.

Thank you for the feedback! Have you personally tried using Universal Autofill on your Mac? It works so fast that, at least to me, it feels like magic when I use it to fill a password: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
I'm happy to hear that 1Password in Safari is working well again for you. 🙂

Just a quick note, running the latest 1PW beta extension for Safari and the beta build in 1PW 8 for Mac, the extension is now fast again! :) So that trouble is gone, yay.
Still +1 for native Autofill provided by Apple, now that Apple also extends it with Passkeys :p But at least 1PW is usable again for me in Safari! Thank you for the update.

Another +1 for me. I would really miss 1Password because it holds more than just Passwords (or Passkeys in the future for me), but without native Autofill instead of the Universal Autofill hack, I need to migrate away.
I don't mean to sound so final, but it is a dealbreaker for me, not just a nice-to-have.
In addition to being well-integrated, it is also blazingly fast with amazing user experience. The 1Password extension takes seconds to even appear, and sometimes up to 10 seconds to even unlock and react.

so I saw the recent post from 1password about the native autofill with passkeys for iOS 17:
https://blog.1password.com/apple-passkey-api-wwdc/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=beyond-passwords-newsletter-july&utm_campaign=passwordless&utm_ref=email-beyond-passwords-newsletter-july
Interesting the link in the blog post:
https://developer.apple.com/passkeys/
It shows macOS using this native autofill option, but 1Password post only makes reference to iOS in regards to the apple platforms. I hope 1password will consider this implementation for the Mac. Particularly in terms of being consistent across platforms. It is much easier to explain to my spouse to just turn on autofill across the devices using native function while 1Password remains the secure store for passwords and passkeys.

Understood, you have to pick the areas where to focus. I figured better to ask and provide the suggestion. There are some people out there who would be interested in having this feature. Thanks for the consideration!

Thank you for the feedback. 1Password currently supports filling using either the browser extension or Universal Autofill.
I would recommend that your family member choose to use either Keychain or 1Password but not both at the same time since that can cause confusion and result in logins being saved and updated in two different places at once. Using 1Password for Safari provides the best filling experience on the Mac. But I do understand if that's not an option for them and I've forwarded your request and specific feedback to our product team so that they can consider it for the future. 🙂
edit: For clarity.
