Where is Windows App Autofill ? Keepass has it but cant find in 1Password.

Hi Former Member

Yes, that’s exactly the click and drag operation I referenced in the OP. It doesn’t work properly in some applications, including the one I’m testing, due to it not always re-focusing on the app login properly. The result is that when you click and drag - the first 1-4 chars of the field are cut off - it happens consistently for me.

So yes - I could be opening a bug report for that - but that’s not really a good solution anyway to me. It’s still a lot of manual work - you have to have 1P open in another window and click and drag each field. It’s fragile and not auto fill.

With Keepass, you can have the app minimized and with a single keyboard shortcut - get it to auto type directly into multiple fields and then submit the form. You are able to configure the fields and windows for this auto-type behavior on an entry by entry basis. See the docs for Keepass version 2.x here if interested https://keepass.info/help/base/autotype.html . Version 2.x’s “Global Autotype HotKey” is the specific feature I’m using.

1Password should have the capabilities to do this - especially since the Keepass code is open source and viewable as an example. It’s a true “Autofill” and I’m sure 1P is aware of this functionality - I’m wondering why 1P doesn’t include it on Windows. It’s the only autofill we need really.

Keepass - for how powerful and secure it is - is not “pretty” and doesn’t have any cloud functionality since it’s a purely local application. So I end up using 1P for storage and then Keepass for auto type of specific entries - which is a pain because then I’m managing two copies of an entry (the original in 1P and a copy in Keepass). I want to just use 1P instead for the whole flow.
