Native Password AutoFill Extension macOS
So one of the people in my family subscription for 1P relies heavily on iCloud Keychain. The nice piece about using the native autofill extension is entries from both show up together in-line. This happens on iOS (or if you use other password managers it secure by each provider but both are offered the same way together).
in terms of migration and allowing those who wish to use both depending on the context. It would be nice to support the native autofill extension, but further it limits exposure or need for safari extension. Should someone not want to use or can't install the extension due to work policy or just rather not use safari extensions
thanks.
1Password Version: 8.x

Hello Dave, please add my voice for this feature request as well. Especially because of consistency between iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

I've merged your comment into your existing thread so that we can keep the conversation in one place. Even if there are multiple threads, we're tracking everyone's requests internally to make sure that we have an accurate idea of the demand for the feature request. 🙂
I've let the team know that you'd still like to see the AutoFill feature supported on macOS. Thanks again for the feedback.

Just to be clear this is the same thing I requested here:
https://1password.community/discussion/135622/native-password-autofill-extension-macos#latest
It has been an API feature in the last 2 major releases of macOS.
Might I suggest combining these feature requests because this would should a more accurate number of interested parties for this feature request?
And 1P_Dave to answer your question apps I use so far at this point don't use passkeys, but the native API would allow for it as soon as it became available example being something like WhatsApp:
as you can see in the note use sign into apps with passkeys.

Thank you for posting the Support ID. My colleague sent you an email asking for more information a few days ago, please reply to him there when you can. 🙂
Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for writing in, could you clarify the issue that you're referring to? Is something not working when you're using 1Password on your Mac?

I think michaelyork summed it up best for me. "Stubborn" is the path you chose XD 1Password is great software, and on the Mac the past year has shown that the Credential Provider API is the best way forward to offer a seamless integration for all things passwords and passkeys on Apple platforms. It may diverge from the path forward you originally carved with the 1Password Universal Autofill hack, but please accept that most people really appreciate Apple native integration. :)
1P_Dave Using passkeys for Safari Web Apps is one big example, and it's frustrating me too. The browser extension is also plagued with connection reliability issues (at least with Safari) and has been for some time. I don't know why 1Password has been so stubborn to adopt the great API built into macOS as they already have adopted on iOS.

I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the passkey experience on iOS. 😊
However, how are passkeys suppose to work with native apps without the native autofill on macOS?
For now, you would continue to use your username and password to log in or use the app's fallback login method. Do you have any examples of Mac apps that you use that support passkeys? I would be happy to pass those examples along to the team.

1P_Dave so one other thing about the native autofill. I ask cause I started setting up passkeys in 1Password on iOS, which is seamless, effortless, and great.
However, how are passkeys suppose to work with native apps without the native autofill on macOS?
I noticed another post about web app feature in Sonoma. (https://1password.community/discussion/142939/using-1password-with-safari-save-to-dock-apps#latest)
