Possible bug: When adding a credit card, the "number" field doesn't accept macOS dictation
In the New Item window, when adding a credit card, I can use macOS' Dictation feature to fill in the fields except the one place where it would be most useful.
Some background info:

2 years agoHello stevenjklein! 👋
Thank you for reaching out! 1Password is indeed doing something special to certain fields: to protect data that you type into 1Password we use a macOS technology called Secure Input to protect that data. Secure Input is used to make sure that the sensitive information that you type into 1Password is secure and won't be intercepted by other applications.
Secure Input isn't activated in username, text, address, or notes fields but it is activated in password, credit card number, and other sensitive fields.
When Secure Input is invoked for a certain field other apps won't be able to see what you type into that field and you won't be able to use other services, such as Dictation, to input into these fields since those other services can't "see" the fields in the first place. As a workaround, if you do want to use dictation, you can dictate the characters into another app like a text editor and then copy and paste the characters into the 1Password app.
I hope that helps! 🙂
