Can 1Password support auto-typing in the command prompt windows? [Yes]
Is it possible to make 1password auto type (or even paste) into a dos (cmd) window?

i should be a little more specific - on Windows 8.1 with the latest beta version of 1Password paste and auto type into a dos window does not work.

Yes, Auto-Type should work in the command prompt.

seems to be related to an admin prompt?

Hi @mtissington,
Can you explain more, I'm not sure what you mean. If you can give us more information on what you're trying to do and how, we can try to reproduce it.

i have a dos window open that prompts for user input (id and password).
if the dos window is NON admin then user input is accepted from 1Password auto-type (however the dos window needs to be admin).
If I open the dos window with run as administrator then auto-type does not work.You can repro this from a regular dos prompt with and without run as admin ...

@mtissington: Sorry for the confusion. You are correct: you can use Auto-Type to have 1Password fill your login information into a command prompt, but it will of course only have the privileges of the user account you're logged into.
So, for example, if you're logged in as a 'regular' user and elevate the command prompt to have admin privileges, 1Password still doesn't and won't be able to fill there. In that case, you can copy and paste information yourself.. I hope this helps! :)

Interesting. I didn't realise that a non-elevated process could not send Windows messages to an elevated process.

@RichardPayne I'm glad it doesn't. Think about the security implications. A non-elevated could give an elevated process instructions, hereby bypassing it's own limitations. The horror.
