Hi mtissington:

1Password in your browser allows you to generate new items (like saving a new Login) easily. It works in tandem with Universal Autofill (which you can access by pressing ⌘+). Using Universal Autofill will offer suggestions for the currently active app, or if you're in a browser, it will talk with 1Password in the browser to determine which sites to suggest and fill in there.

While it's definitely possible to just use Universal Autofill, for the best experience, we'd recommend using both 1Password in your browser and the 1Password desktop app.
