Hey @11p:

We would strongly recommend against using macros or similar to copy and fill your account password. To clarify, 1Password 8 can unlock all accounts that share an account password. As an example:

  • Wendy's individual account, account password: ilovedogs
  • Wendy's family account, account password: ilovedogs
  • Wendy's account for her job, account password: ilovedogs12345

If Wendy opens and unlocks 1Password with her password ilovedogs, both her individual account and her family account will be unlocked. If Wendy wanted to unlock all of her accounts at the same time using a single password, adjusting the account passwords to be identical across all three accounts would be the best bet.
