Entry of passwords in pop-up password entry boxes.

Within the browser, there are times when passwords are requested by "web realms" (at least that is what they called them a while back), usually in-browser popups request username and password (HTTP authentication dialogs). Most notably are the Microsoft SharePoint authentication boxes, which pop up and you can not use the browser add-in, and you must manually go to the 1Password Mini copy the password and paste it in. Grrr...

So, when I had Keychain managing my passwords, I had a firefox and a chrome extension (I am sure there is one for all the other browsers) that populated those fields with username and passwords -- with info from the keychain and also clicked the "OK" button at the same time. Was really helpful when you first started up your browser with at least 3-4 tabs (windows) that had this type of authentication and having it auto-entered and the website resumed loading ... saved me lots of time.

Some of the add-ins that made this possible:

Is their any chance the 1Password can do this? Any plans for this capability?

Thanks!

    I just bought 1password thinking I could replace Lastpass, I can't understand why your biggest competitor can manage this but 1password can't?

    My info:
    Mac OS x 10.10
    Firefox 33.1
    1password extension 4.3.5

    Sites I know are an issue:
    Sharepoint (there is no login page) Only a pop up
    Some others I know that we use at work that will also fail

    Please upgrade this product to handle this, until then I can't use it! Until then back to Laspass :(
