Can we get a better HTTP Basic Auth experience?

Hey dmiwyatt Big thanks for taking the time to share all these details with us. 🙂

It sounds like you use HTTP Basic Auth often enough that the current workflow with 1Password isn't ideal for you, and I'm sorry for the trouble you've seen.

Based on the flow you described with 1Password, something doesn't seem right. If you are on the site, and the HTTP Basic Auth prompt is shown, when you click the 1Password extension icon the relevant login item should already be suggested, and the button should say 'Autofill' and not 'Open & Fill'. So based on this, the 1Password login item might not have the URL saved in it properly.

Could you try saving the URL for the Basic Auth site into your 1Password item and trying again?

Here is a test you can do (on our testing site) to confirm if it works:

1. Click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and select New Item > Login.
2. Add the URL https://basic.fill.dev to the item
3. Enter test as the username, and autofill as the password.
4. Navigate to this link -> https://basic.fill.dev
5. Left click the 1Password icon in the toolbar, and click 'Autofill'.

Here is a video of my test after creating the item for you to compare with -> https://share.cleanshot.com/KJ5pMWJ3

Let me know how things go!
