Universal Autofill not working in Chromium browsers

I have the same issue with Universal Autofill. I'm using macOS 26.1 (25B78) and 1Password for Mac 8.11.20 (81120039). I haven't used the Universal Autofill before and I wanted to try it. I tried in several apps, but the issue seems to be persistent across all usage tries. I press the shortcut for Universal Autofill, in my case `CMD + \`, and I get prompted by 1Password to find a password I want to fill in. After selecting some, I get prompted if I want to "Allow once" or "Always allow". When selecting either of the options the password is not pasted. I tried this across several apps like Terminal, Warp, Chrome, Apple Notes etc. Additionally, when selecting the "Always allow" options, the Universal Autofill does not show up in the focused app ever again. It's just not showing up. I was sure that this feature was quite old in 1Password, but it feels like a beta version.

    Hello konradalfaro​! 👋

    Welcome to the community! There is currently a bug that prevents 1Password from reliably filling into Chromium browsers like Chrome, our development team is investigating the issue alongside our friends at Apple. For the time being, these are the best workarounds for Chrome specifically:

    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.

    Warp is not supported, please see my reply here. For the built-in macOS Terminal, make sure that you've granted 1Password automation permissions and that you're trying to fill your Mac login password into a sudo prompt: Autofill your Mac login

    Can you tell me a little more about what's not working with Apple Notes? I've just tested setting a password for notes and then locking them and I'm able to fill my password into the password field in a note using Universal Autofill.
