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.

Dave,
Is there a place/way to leave feedback on the nightly builds? I’d love to be able to offer some beta testing feedback if that would help.

Thanks for helping us test the feature in the nightly! You can leave your feedback here in this thread and we'll make sure it gets back to the team.

Thank you for this update! This is excellent news. I will likely install the nightly version in the next day or two. I really appreciate the update.

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!
edit: macOS AutoFill is now being tested with the beta version of 1Password and we plan to share a fuller announcement soon.

I just installed the nightly version and can now select 1Password as the Mac autofill option. One early observation. I still can't select 1Password for "Set Up Codes In". Hoping that will come as things move along, but wanted to give feedback, just in case, that that second option is also really wanted!

Noted, thank you! I have filed a ticket to investigate what is needed to get this hooked up.
1P_Dave​ would you mind touching base on this?
Any updates on this now 26.4 is out? Did the improvements in 26.4 provide the necessary missing features that you need to make native autofill on MacOS a reality?
IMHO the solution to the Safari issues is to talk to the macOS-password/passkey-APIs instead of using a plugin in a browser.
Is there any update on the macOS native integration?
This is really bugging. It's not that it's too complicated, it's not that it's too much work if you have some devs working. It's just all about whether and when you want to do it. And obviously, they don't want or want other fancy things first.
Let's all hope it is already in the pipeline and it's only the policy to not announce in advance.Is this what you were waiting for 1Password?

Can we have an update on this? We all want this so much!I moved to StrongBox it has native autofill support and has ssh agent support - which is the only thing keeping me tethered to 1Password. Last straw was the massive price-hike, if the Safari extension was not horrendously unstable and/or native autofill was implemented, I wouldn't have switched.
Although I prefer 1Password's features and UX, especially the developer tooling, I will be migrating to Passwords.app for personal use due to the lack of native autofill support on MacOS.
I'm an OG 1Password user of over 20+ years. Probably back to version 2 when it was still called "1Passwd". For decades it has been "indispensable" software on the Mac platform ... but it just isn't anymore. It's still more full featured than Apple Passwords, but when it comes to the basics it's now falling short due to the foot dragging with native autofill support on macOS and the ongoing conflicts with the native passkey implementation. Time and again these issues have been reported but not addressed. And look I get it. Since AgileBits took the VC money they are more focused on the Enterprise market and not the loyal Mac users whose support was used to build the company. That would be fine if we had all the functionality we needed as Individual and Family plan users. And normally I would not have minded the recent price increase because I recognize they haven't had one in several years (and because they have to pay for all the new developer features I will never use). But a price increase of that magnitude when this thread is 3+ years old and counting with no indication whatsoever that they are going to deliver this much requested functionality means I'm now officially at the point where my patience has started to wear thin. I finally managed to get my wife onto the Apple platform last year. Now I'm eyeing the newly announced iPhone 17e for my mother who is currently using some random, AT&T store Android. When I pull the trigger on that my entire family will be in the Apple ecosystem and I'll no longer have any need for cross-platform support. The Uplock app fills in the gaps for the various categories that 1Password supports that the Passwords app doesn't for a significantly lower price. And while the Passwords app has a few shortcomings I've encountered while test driving it over the last few months, it's much easier to swallow that from a free app than one you are paying for on an ongoing basis.
So yeah. I just decided tonight that if native autofill support on macOS isn't addressed by the time my subscription renews in May I'll just have to reluctantly move on to the first-party Apple solution.
A very good overview of 1Password at present 🫶
