Why does AutoFill "type" instead of paste my username and password in?

frankly

When I use AutoFill 1Password behaves as if it is typing the characters into the fields. You can see them fill one at a time instead of appearing all at once as would happen if you pasted into the field. This is something I have noticed since upgrading to version 8. It used to just fill like a paste would behave. This new behavior is problematic because if I hit enter too quickly, I will get an error if 1Password hasn't finished "typing" in the data.

Note: the paste behavior occurs when you select the login after clicking on the field. The "typing" behavior occurs when using the Command-\ shortcut.

That's not one I recall. I would recommend updating macOS and also 1Password based on the information you provided. Let us know if the behavior continues.

That's "expected behavior" for some reason according to this discussion. It doesn't say why the change was made.
