How do I drag and drop the username and password to a login dialog? I do not wish to copy and paste for security reasons. I used to do this in 1PW7 by pinning the mini.

1Password Version: 8.7.3
Extension Version: 2.3.6
OS Version: macOS 12.4
Browser:_ Safari

    Hi @Carroll

    Have you tried filling this login using ⌘\?

    If that doesn't work, you can open an item in a new window by following these steps:

    1. Press ⇧ ⌘ Space to open Quick Access.
    2. Search for an item.
    3. Press ⌘O to open the item in a new window.

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks Ben

    ⌘\ doesn't work.

    So my workflow seems to be
    1) Find the item in favorites and click on the URL
    2) ⌘-tab to return to the item in 1P
    3) ⌘-o to re-open in new window
    4) Click on 1P main window
    5) ⌘-m to minimize main window
    6) Drag User Name and Password

    Any suggestions?

    I'm sorry to hear we still haven't hit it out of the park here.

    ⌘\ doesn't work.

    To confirm: in 1Password > Settings > General is the Autofill shortcut set to ⌘\ (the default)? Does it not work at all with any app/websites, or just not with this specific one?

    So my workflow seems to be
    1) Find the item in favorites and click on the URL
    2) ⌘-tab to return to the item in 1P
    3) ⌘-o to re-open in new window
    4) Click on 1P main window
    5) ⌘-m to minimize main window
    6) Drag User Name and Password

    Any suggestions?

    That sounds a lot longer than

    Press ⇧ ⌘ Space to open Quick Access.
    Search for an item.
    Press ⌘O to open the item in a new window.

    Have you tried those steps?

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks for clarifying.

    My autofill shortcut is ⌘4, and it has never filled these login dialogs.

    I prefer finding the item in favorites, instead of searching for it.

    However your suggestion has shown me how to shorten the process:
    1) Find item in favorites and click on it
    2) ⌘O to re-open in new window
    3) Click on URL
    4) Drag User Name and Password

    This works for all of my login dialogs except this one: https://my-account.indigodomo.net. For this one I have to: 3) Click on website drop-down and select “Open” rather than simply clicking on the URL. This is a change from 1P7.

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards,

    Carroll
