How to restore functionality of CMD-\ floating window?

Hi wagnerone,

Thanks for this question. You know, I've always felt some of the most rewarding conversations happen with one's self. 😄

Seriously, though - my apologies for not getting back to you sooner. We've experienced our to-be-expected rush surrounding the 1Password for Mac launch, and as a result it's sometimes taking us a little longer to reply. But we are still here!

It's so good to hear that you're enjoying Universal Autofill. We're really excited about this too. This is a feature that's a part of Quick Access, which is the floating window you've mentioned.

Regarding some of your previous observations, it sounds like you have some power-user use cases, so I'll share a bit here about how we tend to think of the various aspects of 1Password, as well as discuss some of the specifics you've mentioned. 👍

First, there's three major app interfaces you can call upon to interact with your 1Password data:

1. 1Password in your browser, also known as the 1Password browser extension. This is what gives 1Password the power to auto-fill logins into the browser for you when you click on a username or password field. This also lets you save logins that you create directly from the browser, without having to open up the 1Password desktop app.

2. 1Password for [your platform], also known as the 1Password desktop apps. These are the full-featured app for each platform, and they're great for organizing items, bumping up your Watchtower score, and more heavy-duty tasks generally. Important app settings and the ability to export are also found here. I should also mention that if an item within 1Password for Mac has a URL associated with it, you can use the Open and Fill feature, which will pop open a new browser tab and fill your sign-in details where they need to go.

3. Quick Access - the spiritual successor to 1Password mini, but (in our opinion) dramatically improved. The idea with Quick Access is that it provides a way for you to quickly grab credentials at a glance, and thanks to Universal Autofill you can now pop those sign-in details into apps or even the browser itself.

On To the Specifics

Not having a means to quickly edit a record from the resulting floating window of a Cmd-\ is a bummer too.

We've been getting some feedback from other folks in the forum that they'd like to be able to do this as well. We have opened a feature request with our development team about it, and I have just added your vote to the tally. Thanks for the suggestion!

is there a way to prevent the now redundant and in-the-way mini from field drop-down menu?

Although Quick Access does now overlap somewhat with the abilities of 1Password in your browser (if you're on a Mac), they aren't totally identical. However, you can disable 1Password in your browser's autofill behavior, like so:

• Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar, then choose Settings
• Scroll down to the Autofill section and disable Offer to fill and save passwords, as well as show autofill menu on field focus

And upon exiting and restarting your browser, you should find that it no longer offers to fill passwords and other similar forms for you.

I'd like to tag in my teammate Jack_P_1P''s explanation of what the shortcuts do, too, in case this is helpful:

⌘+\ and ⌘+Shift+Space are similar, but do slightly different things. ⌘+\ is your AutoFill shortcut, where if there's only one matching Login item for the app or website you have focused, 1Password will fill it automatically. Quick Access will show suggested items based on the focused app or website, but won't fill automatically, so you can search for any item you'd like to find.

To wrap up: I hope that the combination of 1Password in your browser, 1Password for Mac, and Quick Access will provide the overlapping capabilities you need to get things done naturally and fluidly - that's certainly our design goal. And I'll be interested to learn whether this sparks some inspiration for you on how best to put these to use for your team!
