I followed the instructions for setting up automatic fill ins for applications. Still doesnt work.

After setting up Privacy and Security- Accessability- and turning on One Password, it still does not fill in the login info for applications. It brings up a search box to find the app in the quick access window.


1Password Version: 8.9.13 (80913040)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Mac OS 13.1
Browser:_ firefox
Referrer: forum-search:Automatic password-filling for applications

    Hi there @jaccolon

    It sounds like the item you want to autofill into the app isn't linked to it. Give this a try:

    1. Make sure 1Password is unlocked.
    2. Open an app you want to autofill into.
    3. Press *⌘\* (Command–Backslash).
    4. If there's no item linked to the active app, you'll see Quick Access.
    5. If there's one item linked, it'll autofill without any further input from you.
    6. If there's more than one, you'll see Quick Access open so that you can pick one.
    7. Search for the item you'd like to autofill, and press ⇧↩ (Shift–Return) to autofill it.
    8. In the dialog box that appears, click "Fill & Update Login".

    You'll then see that app listed in the Linked Apps section of the item, like this:

    There's more information about how to use Universal Autofill here:

    Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)
