Universal Autofill in Terminal/iTerm for non-sudo commands
1Password seems to have specific handling for Terminal.app and iTerm.app such that it will only actually autofill if the user is being prompted for a password in response to running a sudo command....
Incidentally, I only was able to figure out that this was happening when I carefully reread https://support.1password.com/mac-universal-autofill/, and saw this:
With 1Password and Universal Autofill, you can fill your usernames and passwords everywhere you need to sign in on your Mac:
- in all your apps and websites
- anywhere you’re asked to log in as an administrator on your Mac
- when you runsudocommands in your terminal app
That third bullet point explained the issue. The problem is that I consider "all your apps" to include my terminal app, and I suspect that I am far from alone in this.
