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.

+1 on this feature. By supporting native autofill on macOS, 1password users will get better passkey and SMS code autofill experience. it can also make it possible to use 1password with other password manager. why not support this feature to make 1password more perfect. i don't think it is a feature that can not coexist with current autofill implementation

+1 on this feature. Just to get passkey support for native apps without having to resort back to qr-codes and your mobile

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the commitment that 1Password has made to security -- that's why I've been a user for 15 years. But I still would prefer to give even the most trusted software only the minimum permissions it needs to do its job.

Thanks for the feedback, I've shared it with the team as well.
The same security team that makes sure that your data is stored safely and securely in your 1Password account also reviews and secures the browser extension and Universal Autofill. In addition to the amazing work that our developers and security team have done to make sure that 1Password protects your data in various environments and scenarios, 1Password also undertakes multiple independent security audits from external venders, which you can read about here: https://support.1password.com/security-assessments/

Thank you for answering those questions. I've passed your request and description of your use case to the Product team internally.
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).
So that the team can look into this, can you reproduce the issue in one of the apps in questions and then I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

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.

Strongbox uses the native api implementation. It is one of the things I missed more when I switched to 1P and having my wife as she it worked best for her workflow.
