AutoFill and the Safari Extension

TooSlimSam

Thanks for the reply. I'll respond below:

The 1Password extension will get in the way in fields where it's not needed.

Are you able to provide examples of this? 1Password in the browser uses our own filling brain which we have the ability to update and improve. I would be happy to file reports to have this get fixed on any websites where you're seeing the issue.

The 1Password extension can be unresponsive in fields where it is needed.

Do you mean that you see the 1Password icon in a username or password field but that nothing happens when you click on it? Does the issue resolve if you close and then reopen Safari? Does this also occur on specific webpages or randomly?

The 1Password extension makes it harder to use "Hide My Email", which would ideally be provided by Safari native autofill.

Thank you for the feedback. We do have an integration with Fastmail's masked email alias feature but, last I checked, there wasn't a way to integrate with Apple's Hide My Email in the same way. I've passed this along to the team to look into further.

An extension that injects Javascript into every web page I visit violates the principle of least privilege, and for no good reason that I can see. This is puzzling, coming from a company that's focused on security.

Security and privacy are top priorities and the extension is carefully designed and coded to be secure. 1Password will never fill a login into a webpage unless certain conditions are met:

1. The website matches the URL that you have saved for that login in 1Password.
2. You perform an action to consent that the login is filled, such as clicking on the login suggestion or pressing Command-Backslash.

We also undertake multiple independent security audits of our apps and extensions, which you can read about here: https://support.1password.com/security-assessments/

Our browser extension allows us to provide a consistent 1Password experience across all browsers and platforms. 1Password in the browser also allows for the support of features that wouldn't otherwise be possible such as masked email aliases, filling of identity and credit card items, advanced filling capabilities using our own filling brain, and more.
