Universal Autofill and Quick Access aren't working in Chromium browsers like Chrome and Brave

With the latest update of Chrome on macOS, Universal Autofill’s CMD+\ is no longer working properly with the Chrome extension.

Problem: CMD+\ does not automatically autofill form fields on any website.

Instead, you see the “Search 1Password” quick access popup, which indicates it does not detect the website you are on when you press CMD+\

  • macOS version: Sequoia 15.7.1
  • 1Password for Mac version: 8.11.16 (81116035 on PRODUCTION channel)
  • Google Chrome version: 142.0.7444.60
  • 1Password extension version: 8.11.16.35

Additional troubleshooting information:

  • 1Password “Connect with 1Password in the browser” is checked/enabled
  • 1Password extension “Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app” is enabled and “Integration status” shows “Connected 🟢”
  • The following does not fix this problem:
    • Quitting 1Password and Chrome, and restarting both
    • Removing and reinstalling the 1Password browser extension
    • Restarting my computer
  • 1Password Beta extension version 8.11.18.30 has the same problem

I'm sorry for the continued impact that the issue is causing. Our development team's initial investigation revealed an issue with how the macOS accessibility API reports form field information from Chromium windows to the 1Password desktop app's Universal Autofill feature (Command-Backslash). We've reported this to Apple and we're currently working with our partners there to find a resolution to the issue. Universal AutoFill continues to work in non-Chromium apps.

Since the issue involves Chromium, macOS, and 1Password, I don't have an ETA on when this will be resolved. For the time being, the two best workarounds are: 

  1. Use 1Password in the browser (the browser extension) to fill your login information into Chromium browsers instead of using Universal Autofill: Get to know 1Password in your browser
  2. Use a non-Chromium browser like Firefox if you'd like to continue to use Universal Autofill. I know that this won't be possible for most people but I wanted to mention it just in case it helps. 


I'll continue to provide any updates that I can as our team works to resolve this issue together with our partners.

    1Password in the browser doesn’t address the problem completely. With 1Password in the browser, it now requires 2 keystrokes/mouse clicks instead of 1 keyboard shortcut to autofill fields.

    1. Keyboard shortcut to open 1Password in the Browser
    2. Enter / click to Autofill

    Can an option be added to 1Password in the browser so it behaves like Universal Autofill and autofills automatically? It should autofill automatically if there’s a login that matches the domain and only 1 login for the domain; otherwise, the browser extension popup should show with the login matches for you to choose from.

      I agree.  This is a much more thorough explanation of what I meant by...

      If the browser extension had a keyboard shortcut to autofill the same way with a single keystroke, this wouldn't be such an issue.
