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.

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!

In iOS, it’s super easy to make the 1Password app the default password manager for the whole OS. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be possible to do this on a Mac.
Is this feature already available? If not, when can we expect to see it?
Universal Autofill does not provide the same function as the integrated MacOS autofill. For instance, I use both Palo Alto Global Protect client and Omnissia Horizon Client (formerly VMware Horizon). Both of these provide the "Password" pop-up. both I've tried to fill using Universal Autofill. I can open Universal Autofill but it won't actually fill.
I would like to see this integration added to the roadmap. As we move more and more to using Passkeys and with the issue I listed above, the only real way to be a complete replacement to Apple Passwords (or whatever Windows integrated password manager is), is for 1Password to move from Universal Autofill to beiing able to integrate and replace the built in vendor solution.
That's funny, cuz 1Password supports Autofill on Windows 11, even with the old autofill style.
As mentioned in this post, I'd also really like to see At this point, it feels really rather broken to me that 1Password on macOS doesn't integrate with the system password keychain stuff. It works so nicely on iOS. Universal Autofill rarely seems to work the way I expect, and I might be wrong, but it seems like there are times that passkeys can't be used from 1Password because it's a system prompt, not the browser.
Is this feature any more likely to be seen?
Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback! This is something that our team is looking into but I don't have any news to share at the moment.
it seems like there are times that passkeys can't be used from 1Password because it's a system prompt, not the browser.
Is this happening on a specific website? Which browser are you using? Have you already completely turned off the built-in password manager: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

Just for sake of completeness, also +1 on this feature, for all the reasons mentioned here. 🙂
I've also shared this wish in connection with previous instabilities of the safari extension, both in previous support requests and in https://1password.community/discussion/144909/1password-does-not-work-with-safari-profiles/p2.
+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

Thank you for the request! I've filed it with our product team. 🙂

+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/
