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

Hi @Electronic, thanks for reaching out! We don't have any news to share about this at the moment, however you can keep an eye on our release notes to stay up to date with any changes: 1Password Releases - Windows

You can access the Type in window option from Quick Access by using Ctrl + O to open the selected item in a new window, and then clicking the dropdown menu to the right side of credential fields.

If you have any further questions or concerns, let us know 😄

Hello ag_mike_d - Looking forward and excited to seeing this Universal Autofill option added for Windows as well. Do you happen to have any updates on when this may be added? I tried the type in window command but that seems to only be browser specific and I'm not seeing the option within the quick access menu, only the full 1password desktop app. Thanks for any insight even if it's something you can comment on yet. Will be really nice to be able to use this as a gamer that has multiple games require a log-in that currently requires a bunch of keyboard shortcuts from quick access to get the username and password input within the launcher.

Hello @torsten1de,

Thanks for your message. I don't have any further details to share about a timeline, but added you to our internal issue filed with our team.

We appreciate your patience while the team investigates.

Hello ag_mike_d,
I have the same problem with VMware Horizon Client in multiple layers like @K2342. Is there an update to the current development?
I recently switched from KeePass to 1Password and now I have to type my very safe passwords (length and complexity) by hand :(
I would appreciate a solution to this issue very much.

Thank you for your feedback :-)

You're most welcome, @K2342!

ag_mike_d - Sure thing.
Yep, VMWare is often the issue ha, but again - Keepass does it and has shared their solution with the world - so the technical specs are out there. They just need ported into 1Password's framework.

Yep - Windows Universal Autofill (like Mac) is what I as a user (and someone who manages family accounts and promotes 1Password to others) would like to see. Thanks for considering it.

Hello again @K2342,

Thanks for getting back to us with the details about your use case and giving type in window a try. VMWare is the issue here with type in window. I've had some recent conversations with our development team. We're currently tracking and looking into more cases of customers who are interested in this capability. I've included your details there for the team.

At the end of the day, a Universal Autofill option for Windows should help in most cases. I'm sorry that I'm not able to share more details at this time.

We appreciate the feedback!

Hi 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).

Hello @K2342,

Sorry for the delay in reply. I appreciate the help here from the community!

Another suggestion I'd like to offer is the Type in window functionality from 1Password 8 for Windows. Could you try right-clicking the username and password fields in 1Password > Type in window > [destination window], and let us know if this works better for you or not at all?

With regard to drag and drop losing characters, we do have an issue opened with the team. Could you let us know what desktop application you are having troubles with so I can pass these details along to the team?

Finally, regarding to the Windows equivalent Universal Autofill for Mac, this is on the Product team's roadmap, but I have no further news to share. Keep an eye on 1Password Releases for the latest updates and new features added to 1Password 8. Thanks!

Hi Ekalb - Thanks, but no. Still buggy and dropping chars.

But again, that feature is a shadow of what is really needed anyway. This thread is about a missing windows autofill functionality.

I have discovered 1Password has something similar to it for Mac, but not Windows. They call it “Mac Universal Autofill”. For whatever reason it’s not available on Windows - so Keepass remains what I use here.
