3 years agoWhere is Windows App Autofill ? Keepass has it but cant find in 1Password.
Hello.
Tech Savy 1 Password user here, running a family account. The setup in question is with the 1Password desktop App on Win10.
I have a desktop application that spawns a login screen, which ...

3 years agoHi ag_mike_d
Thank you. No worries.
Agreed - the dropping chars for click and drag really looked like a bug. Glad it's being looked at.
"Type in Window" is nifty. I hadnt noticed that before (and must have missed it in the documentation? :-) ) - and it shows me that 1Password has already some of the functions needed for a Keepass-like Global Auto-fill on Windows. Being able to identify the windows available is big.
But I see an issue there too. It actually doesnt work for me in this workflow. The list of windows available doesnt appear to have a close match to the window I want - it seems like it's having trouble identifying the window at all - and so nothing happens when I try it.
My usecase is somewhat complex here. This login form is spawned by Brave Browser -> Citrix Workspace -> VMWare Horizon Client. So a few layers in. 1Password seems only able to recognize it as "Citrix Workspace" and no further.
It is complex, but again free and open source Keepass handled it without issue and more completely (it autofills all fields and submits, while minimized, with a keyboard shortcut! ) - so it's certainly doable. I currently use Keepass to do this a couple times a day because the time and energy it saves really adds up when Im bouncing around different VMs.
It's good to hear a 1Password Universal Autofill for Windows is in the works.
"Type in Window" is a neat feature, and I like it more than the "Click and drag" - but it's also just a shadow of a real Universal Autofill. I dont quite understand why development resources are being spent on those essentially workarounds, instead of just funneling everything to a true Windows Universal Autofill (like Keepass for Windows has, and 1Password for Mac has). 1Password Windows Autofill to me would render "Type In Window" and "Click and Drag" obsolete and would help increase feature parity on your platforms (always a good goal in its own right).
