3 years agoHi btmurrell, thanks for this!
Quick Access is indeed all-new, and for a number of reasons we're quite excited about its powers. It does mean that some things will work differently from previous generations of 1Password, as you've noted. In case it's helpful, there's a couple ways to fill logins from Quick Access.
- First, you can take advantage of the awesome new Universal Autofill feature. This works in both your browser and on desktop apps, so let's take the example of signing into the Zoom app. In this case, you'd:
*open the Zoom app
*press Cmd + \
(which opens Quick Access)
*type the username, and the result should appear
*press Return
and with that, the whole thing - username, password, and even 2FA if you have it - will be pasted into Zoom and you'll be automatically signed in. This can save a lot of clicks!
- If you'd like to use the mouse, you can also use the
Open and Fill
orAutofill
option when you're in Quick Access.
You can also click the vertical-ellipses button for any given item, and copy the username and password to clipboard from there.
So while you may not be able to drag-and-drop in the same way from this window, we have tried to provide options that essentially use the Mac's accessibility capabilities to do that function for you (and actually remove some effort from the process).
Lastly, it is possible to click-and-drag usernames and passwords from the main 1Password for Mac app as well. 🙌
We hope this gives a you a couple great ways to fill your information. Let me know if you find these helpful, and I'm happy to pass on any feedback you'd like to offer to our development team too.
