Hello gussic! 👋

Thanks for the feedback! On the Mac, 1Password is able to autofill in browsers and apps using two different technologies:

Since there are already two different filling methods for the Mac, support for macOS AutoFill hasn't been added on top of those. In addition, 1Password in the browser and Universal Autofill are developed by our team and that means that 1Password can directly fix filling issues when they occur, something that wouldn't be possible with macOS AutoFill.

if you have a Passkey saved for your Discord Account it'll prompt you for that. 1Password can't present the Passkey to the Discord App (I tried)...but the system level AutoFill could - so having a Passkey in iCloud Keychain allowed me to authenticate.

If you're using 1Password on your mobile device then you can choose to scan a QR code using your device's camera app and sign in using your passkey from 1Password on your phone. That being said, this is good feedback! I can definitely see the gap in functionality here and I've passed your comment and request along to the team internally.
