No auto-type in 1PW8?
I've upgraded to 1PW8 and now I can't auto-type passwords into application windows. Is this critical feature gone?

Another vote for KeePass like auto-launch-and-login to RDP (as described here and in other posts: https://web.archive.org/web/20230208145634/http://blog.bitcollectors.com/adam/2014/04/launching-rdp-keepass-2-x-auto-login/)
Not sure how useful autofill would be for me, but it would be better than nothing. I'd prefer it just... open.

Hello @Res260,
Thanks for comment. I've merged your message in to this thread that is discussing an autotype feature for OPW.
I've mentioned above, this is something the team is looking in to and I've passed along your comments to the Product team.
We appreciate your feedback! Let us know if you have any other suggestions.

Keepass has a feature where you enter the shortcus
ctrl + alt + A
and it detects the active window's title, find what password entries is associated with the given title (can be a regex), and types the username +tab
+ password +enter
.This feature is great and saves a ton of time for non-browser apps.
I switch blizzard accounts daily to play with friends and each time i have to open 1password, copy user, paste user, copy password, paste password. It sucks, I'd rather setup it once, then use a shortcut to make it autotype :)
