The benefit from 1Password 8 on Mac, on Windows & feature request & bug report
Hi there!
Yesterday, I installed 1Password 8 on my new Windows machine.
Since I use that PC for playing games, I quickly noticed that something is missing. Universal-Autofill on Windows - it ...

4 years agoHi Mattis, thanks for sharing your thoughts here. 😃
Of course that works as well, but the Universal-Autofill feature is so comfortable.
I know, right?!? Now that Universal Autofill exists, I want it across platforms too. Originally Apple's Accessibility API is what enabled our developers to do this on Mac, but it's great that efforts are now underway to bring similar functionality to other platforms too. Fingers crossed. 🤞
You noted:
The command shortcut to copy the password will not work. If I press CTRl+SHIFT+C the password not be copied.
That's strange. I did try to reproduce this but haven't been able to so far. I'll be happy to dig into this further. Here's a few related questions:
- What specific version of 1Password 8 are you on? For example, 8.7, or 8.6, and so on.
If you're not sure, you can find this by signing into 1Password for Windows, then selecting ** (â‹®) > Settings > About**. You should see your version listed there.
What app or window are you trying to paste the password into?
Does Quick Access provide any visual indication that the password is copied? When it works, it should briefly flash the listed item, almost as if you had double-clicked the entry with your mouse. If you don't see that, that might be confirmation that
copy
is for some reason not being invoked.
I'll be interested to know more about this, and will follow up with our developers as well to see if they know anything about it. Thank you for notifying us of the issue!
