Hello jason13! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! 1Password supports two different filling methods:

  1. 1Password in the browser (the browser extension): Get to know 1Password in your browser
  2. Universal Autofill: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

These filling methods both use the 1Password filling brain which means that we're able to correct issues as they're reported to us, something that we can't do with macOS AutoFill. 1Password in the browser also allows us to support many of the features that folks use with 1Password such as masked email aliases, integrations with services like Privacy.com, SSH key support, and more.

That being said, we have received requests to support the macOS AutoFill feature. Is there a particular use case, where the current methods fall short, that makes you personally interested in seeing macOS AutoFill being supported in the future?
