Hello Illusion5! 👋

Thanks for the question! You can definitely use Universal Autofill to fill your password in order to mount an encrypted disk image. After you've saved the passwords for your different disk images in 1Password you can fill a particular disk image by following these steps:

  1. Double-click to open an encrypted disk image.
  2. Press Shift-Command-Space bar to open Quick Access.
  3. Search for the appropriate password.
  4. Press Shift-Enter to fill the password into the disk image dialog box.
  5. Click on Fill Once.

Your password should now be filled and auto-submitted and the disk image will be mounted by macOS. Let me know if you run into any issues.
