4 years agoBrowser Autofill Shortcut does not work
Hi everyone,
I am a long time happy 1Password user and always enjoyed filling my passwords in Safari and Chrome by using the Cmd+\
shortcut whenever I encountered a sign in form.
Today, I decided to give the 1Password 8 Beta and the newest browser extensions a try (versions see below). In principle, everything still seems to be working as expected (extensions show in the Browser toolbars and I can manually fill credentials using the respective buttons in the extension UIs), but the mentioned keyboard shortcut no longer works (neither in Safari nor in Chrome).
In Safari, there is no reaction at all. In Chrome, the Mac menu bar flashes to 1Password for the fraction of a second, but no credentials are filled. This applies to all sites.
I double checked 1Password preferences and the shortcut seems to be set correctly. I tried to re-set the shortcut, but that didn't help.
My system is set to German and I'm using a German keyboard layout – maybe that may be a contributing factor?
I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

I am using the production version of 1Password 8
1Password for Mac 8.8.0
80800203, on PRODUCTION channel
And form fill is VERY unreliable. It does not work more times than it does. This is a HUGE step back from 1password 7 when it worked reliably. Not sure how this is even production software when it does not do the CORE function of what its purpose is. Not sure how this even passes unit testing, let alone functional testing.
Almost always, I have to try 2-3 times of Cmd+/ for it to fill - and often I have to move cursor to a different field on second or third try for the form to fill..
Is someone even looking into this? I am on Mac OS 12.5..

Hi @MindFad:
That definitely isn't the experience we want you to have when using 1Password. I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac, as well as a console log:
Sending Diagnostics Reports (Mac)
Save a console log for 1Password in your browser
Attach the diagnostics report and the console log to an email message addressed to
support+forum@1password.com
.With your email please include:
- A link to this thread: https://1password.community/discussion/123570/browser-autofill-shortcut-does-not-work#latest

Just popping in to say that the autofill shortcut doesn’t seem to work any longer for me as well on the latest beta build (neither does ⇧ ⌘ Spacebar for Quick Access). Previously it would initiate asking for a password, but no longer. Have to manually click 1Password in the Dock or click the toolbar icon in Safari to get it to ask for the password unlock. After this, both shortcuts usually work fine (while the unlocked state is active; after it auto-re-locks, the shortcuts are dead again).

Thank you for letting us know, @guyrozendorn, and I'm sorry to learn this has been your experience. Can you let us know what platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) you're using, as well as what version of 1Password you're on? We'll be happy to further pursue this on our end.

It worked great for me w/ 1P7, but does not work at all in 1P8.

1Password 8 "Fill in Browser" works maybe half the time for me. I do have "offer to fill and save password" enabled in 1Password for Safari. I have standard US keyboard layout enabled.
This feature worked 90% of the time on 1Password 7, so it's sad to now be running into this problem so often. Please let me know what I can test or try to improve this.
I'm using 1Password for 8.5.0, 1Password for Safari 2.2.3, macOS 12.1.

Hey @"jack.platten",
As we rely on 1Password in the browser to do the heavy lifting on field detection, using ⌘+\ to fill does require 1Password in the browser to at least have "Offer to fill and save passwords" enabled in Settings (Right click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar, choose settings, then the Autofill section). The autofill menu can be configured to not drop down automatically on field focus however, using the option "Show autofill menu on field focus".
This helps a lot, thank you! Only enabling the top option and keeping the lower one disabled seems to get me rather close to the intended result. I'll try this for a while. :-)
