2 years agoUnfortunately Universal Autofill has too many gaps for me. I like this addition, but on its own it is not complete.
The fact that you present cosmetic differences between browser extensions as one need to use a standalone app is somewhat disappointing. This only reinforces my observations that 1PW8 sacrifices usability and efficiency to be "pretty".
My experience so far with chrome and Firefox extensions for 1PW8 are much better than safari. I don't have extra application entries in my macOS applications folder, and the extensions don't appear to separately sync to the server. These just work, as they always have. I'll note that other plugins don't seem to be facing this constraint so it is a little confusing.
I will note that for those that are cross-platform, cosmetic differences are normal. Different browsers themselves behave differently so I expect plugins to vary similarly to match their respective browsers.
My experience so far with the standalone browser extension has been frustrating. As I've come across issues I've come back to the forums only to find others with similar issues. Syncing does not appear to be improved, matching 1PW items to sites is horrible, and the interface for choosing which item to use (when there should only be one match) is frustrating. 1PW8 has slowed down by daily workflow tremendously.
I don't care about "pretty". Any interaction from a browser extension should be short-lived and as unobtrusive as possible - I want to be able to use it to quickly but securely fill in items then go away. This used to be a goal for 1PW which was previously well met, but to me this has been thrown out the window with 1PW8.
