1password not working with Skype

I just registered with Skype. When I log in, 1Password does not offer to remember username and password. I entered this information manually in 1Password. But when I log in, 1Password does not automatically fill out the username and password. I have to copy everything manually.

    @JCB - Are you using the Skype application, not the web? 1Password currently doesn't have the ability to fill in credentials to native applications. It can only fill web forms. Copying and pasting is the way to deal with getting credentials into applications.

    If I haven't understood correctly, please post back.

    @JCB: That is correct. While we have extensions that allow 1Password to interact with the major web browsers, Skype does not offer an API for this. For now, copy/paste is the way to go for apps that 1Password can't communicate with in this fashion.

    With Apple adding broad extension support in iOS 8 now, I hope they will bring something similar to OS X. It would be really cool to have a page like this full of Mac apps some day! :)
