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

Thanks for the reply. Can you clarify what you mean by the following:
With Sonoma password sharing abilities I could actually get it so my wife and I actually have all our stuff in 1Password.
You can share items in 1Password with another person either by moving them into a shared vault or by sending a secure share link:
My recommendation is that you and your wife migrate your items to 1Password, confirm that all of your items are inside of 1Password, and then turn off iCloud Keychain: Move your iCloud Passwords from Safari to 1Password
Once everything is in 1Password you can use a shared vault to share items with your wife.

i am still holding hope for the native API on macOS. With Sonoma password sharing abilities I could actually get it so my wife and I actually have all our stuff in 1Password. I would be able to slowly move over over (and my wife be able to know which ones she hasn't). Than eventually we could turn off iCloud Keychain and be using 1Password 100% and would effectively be transparent to your her current workflow.

Thank you 1P_Dave – look forward to hearing back on the AutoFill/Face ID issue. I'll follow up separately on the browser extension in that forum.

Thank you for reporting the issue with iOS AutoFill and Face ID, I've open an internal work item so that our developers can look into this further.
And on macOS, the current implementation of passkeys in the beta extension is not promising. It's implemented without the macOS APIs and attempts to hijack the system passkey prompt instead of just integrating with it.
If you've been testing passkeys in the beta version of 1Password in the browser then the team would love to hear about your experience. You can open a new thread on the topic in our beta category: 1Password in the browser beta — 1Password Community

Thanks 1P_Dave – and you're right on iOS, but the iOS API integration did take a step backwards with the release of 1Password 8. Unfortunately, 1Password no longer respects the "Enable/disable Face ID for Autofill" setting in iOS Settings. Now, even if you have that set to disabled, 1Password insists on launching its extension and performing auth before filling the credentials.
And on macOS, the current implementation of passkeys in the beta extension is not promising. It's implemented without the macOS APIs and attempts to hijack the system passkey prompt instead of just integrating with it.

You can already use iOS AutoFill to fill logins from 1Password on an iPhone or iPad: Use 1Password to fill and save in apps and browsers on your iPhone and iPad
I'll let the team know that you'd like to see the same functionality on the Mac. For now you can use 1Password in the browser or Universal Autofill (which also works in macOS apps) to fill logins on the Mac:
Thank you for the feedback.

+1000 for using the native macOS/iOS APIs for Autofill. iCloud Keychain is quickly becoming a superior filling experience.
