filled in my password automatically
When I go to a website - say nytimes.com - I want 1password to automatically fill in my password, the same way Chrome does it now. When I tried 1password, I have to go into 1password Mini and find the website (nytimes.com), click on it, and then it fills in my login info. Instead, I want this to be done automatically when I visit the site. Is it possible?
I used 1password 4.0.2
Chrome 30.0.1599.101
1password Chrome extension 4.0.1.99

I don't think automatic filling as such ever exists in 1PW, as there is too much risk of filling in credentials on a fake site.
But you can use a keyboard shortcut (command-\, but you can change it) to fill in the details once you are on the site. In fact this can be set (via preferences, and choices in 1PW Mini for each site) to fill in and submit. Though in my experience submitting does not always work.

But the built in password managers in Chrome, Safari & Firefox all do it. Why is it a security risk for 1password, but not for these official password managers?

anyone? surely, 1password cannot be missing such a common feature? is there some checkbox I could tick to correct this?

can someone just definitively confirm or deny that this is/will be a feature in 1password?

Hi guys,
When I tried 1password, I have to go into 1password Mini and find the website (nytimes.com), click on it, and then it fills in my login info.
You can press Command + \ and it should directly fill in your data without bringing up the 1Password mini.
Instead, I want this to be done automatically when I visit the site. Is it possible?
No, it's not possible. We don't believe it's safe to automatically fill in your data without your intervention and we've held this belief for the past half of the decade. We only received a very small number of folks requesting this to be changed.
Why is it a security risk for 1password, but not for these official password managers?
Because they're not meant to protect your data, they're meant to make it easy for you to log in, nothing more than that.
They're not protecting your passwords. Take a look at this article to see such an example
We're more concerned about protecting your data, that's why 1Password works differently than those managers.
can someone just definitively confirm or deny that this is/will be a feature in 1password?
For now, this will not be a feature in 1Password. We never say never but this is a feature that we strongly don't believe in.
