I would also like to see this!!! Please include my +1 in this feedback request as well.

This would make the macOS user experience better on multiple fronts:

  1. More elegant verification code handling - using system dropdowns to show 1Password codes instead of requiring Universal Autofill
  2. Simpler setup for 2FA - just right-click QR codes in the system menu instead of manually navigating through 1Password
  3. Better passkey support for native apps like Discord that expect system-level integration
  4. Smoother coexistence with enterprise tools (like Microsoft Entra) that rely on system password frameworks
  5. More consistent experience across Apple platforms, since 1Password already supports native integration on iOS

Users expect 1Password to work more naturally with macOS's built-in features. There's clearly strong community interest in this, as shown in several discussions:

There's also extensive discussion on Reddit about why native integration would be valuable:
- My 14 day feedback for 1Password (this one especially goes into a lot of detail)
- How can I Save Apple Passkey
- Apple Account and PassKey
- I can't set up 2FA using Apple Passkeys
- Native Autofill API on macOS instead of Accessibility hack?

I think that as more apps adopt passkeys and authentication evolves, having 1Password work seamlessly with system-level features will become increasingly important for smoother UX.
