Question about 1Password X / 1Password Classic extension, Mac and Microsoft Edge.

Hi ag_chantelle ,

Thank you for your reply, I just read the post you mentioned in your answer, although I am okay with it, but clearly, I believe it's not the ideal solution:

The new version of 1Password for your browser will still support ⌘ + \, however it is limited to autofilling credentials only if you have a single Login item saved for the site you are on.

  • I can use ⌘ + \ on my mac to launch the mini-app at any time, but I have to use another key combination for the browser.
  • Now, I need to think about do I have more than one login item on one site. If it does have two login items, nothing will happen when I try to use ⌘ + \ to fill the passwords.
  • I don't think ⌘ + ⇧ + X is ideal as the default shortcut for 1Password X, this shortcut is used to create screenshots on Microsoft Edge for Mac, so this shortcut will not be used for auto-fill by default.

I will switch to Chrome and keep using ⌘ + ⇧ + X, but this inconsistency really needs to be resolved in 1Password 8 for Mac. Any spoilers ;)

Also, I would like to continue the conversation about native messaging between 1Password and beta versions of browsers in email later, it seems like doesn't work for me.
