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

I would also like to see this!!! Please include my +1 in this feedback request as well.
This would make the macOS user experience better on multiple fronts:
- More elegant verification code handling - using system dropdowns to show 1Password codes instead of requiring Universal Autofill
- Simpler setup for 2FA - just right-click QR codes in the system menu instead of manually navigating through 1Password
- Better passkey support for native apps like Discord that expect system-level integration
- Smoother coexistence with enterprise tools (like Microsoft Entra) that rely on system password frameworks
- More consistent experience across Apple platforms, since 1Password already supports native integration on iOS
Users expect 1Password to work more naturally with macOS's built-in features. There's clearly strong community interest in this, as shown in several discussions:

- https://1password.community/discussion/comment/720451#Comment_720451
There's also extensive discussion on Reddit about why native integration would be valuable:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/1130yhd/native_autofill_api_on_macos_instead_of/I think that as more apps adopt passkeys and authentication evolves, having 1Password work seamlessly with system-level features will become increasingly important for smoother UX.

Thanks for the feedback! I've passed your request to have 1Password support macOS AutoFill to the team. š
You can fill 2FA one-time password using Universal AutoFill: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

Would also like to see this. I don't fully get why there's so much resistance to add support for these APIs when the same APIs work fine on iOS. I want to cut out Keychain, but the 2FA autofill is very very nice. Now that it's possible to have them fill from third party managers, I want to migrate the remaining bits to 1P.
A small voice in my head is telling me this may partly due to the architecture of the mac app being in Electron instead of native ObjC/Swift, so even trivial APIs like this will need a bunch of glue/wrapper code to actually work

i am still hoping they will do add it this year....

+1 especially now since the new apple passwords app can autofill 2fa code and passkeys in native apps.

Thank you for the feedback, it's been passed along to the team. Regarding the Safari issues that you're running into, I see that my colleague sent you an email 13 days ago asking for some more information and we're waiting on your reply to investigate further.
Safari web apps don't support browser extensions but you can indeed use Universal Autofill to fill your logins there: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

This is a big miss, especially now that Passkeys are getting more common, and the 1Password extension in Safari is (still) totally unreliable.
(Re-posting my comment that was https://1password.community/discussion/comment/705053/, for visibility.)
One use case for native macOS AutoFill are the new Safari 17 https://support.apple.com/104996, where no autofill dropdown appears when focussing a login field. I suppose the universal autofill from 1Password might work here, but I never use that and prefer just to click a login field and have the logins appear in a dropdown, like in Safari.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I know that the team's current focus is on our existing filling options which you can read more about here:
That being said, I've passed along your requests and feedback to the team internally and they'll look into the macOS filling feature for the future. š

+1 The feature is already supported in IOS and iPadOS. Integration should work without the need of accessibility features which Universal autofill relies on.
*edit with a French Canadian keyboard mapping universal autofill with CMD+\ is convoluted.
