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
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.6
Browser:_ Safari
Thanks 1P_Dave – and you're right on iOS, but the iOS API integration did take a step backwards with the release of 1Password 8. Unfortunately, 1Password no longer respects the "Enable/disable Face ID for Autofill" setting in iOS Settings. Now, even if you have that set to disabled, 1Password insists on launching its extension and performing auth before filling the credentials.
And on macOS, the current implementation of passkeys in the beta extension is not promising. It's implemented without the macOS APIs and attempts to hijack the system passkey prompt instead of just integrating with it.

You can already use iOS AutoFill to fill logins from 1Password on an iPhone or iPad: Use 1Password to fill and save in apps and browsers on your iPhone and iPad
I'll let the team know that you'd like to see the same functionality on the Mac. For now you can use 1Password in the browser or Universal Autofill (which also works in macOS apps) to fill logins on the Mac:
Thank you for the feedback.

+1000 for using the native macOS/iOS APIs for Autofill. iCloud Keychain is quickly becoming a superior filling experience.

Thank you. 🙂

1P_Dave Thank you for the response, Dave!
I do agree that the Universal AutoFill invention by 1Password is usually fine and even works in websites, it doesn't fill any one time passwords for me however. And it completely falls apart when we talk about Passkeys, to get the same fidelity as on iOS, 1Password would also have to support the system-wide AutoFill by Apple on macOS as the OP requested.
Without one time passwords or Passkeys, Universal AutoFill is a nice idea, but still remains just a hack. Apple has a way for other password managers to perfectly tie into the system, so I would really really encourage you to adopt AutoFill on macOS as well and publish a statement regarding this. :D Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback! Have you personally tried using Universal Autofill on your Mac? It works so fast that, at least to me, it feels like magic when I use it to fill a password: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
I'm happy to hear that 1Password in Safari is working well again for you. 🙂

Just a quick note, running the latest 1PW beta extension for Safari and the beta build in 1PW 8 for Mac, the extension is now fast again! :) So that trouble is gone, yay.
Still +1 for native Autofill provided by Apple, now that Apple also extends it with Passkeys :p But at least 1PW is usable again for me in Safari! Thank you for the update.
Another +1 for me. I would really miss 1Password because it holds more than just Passwords (or Passkeys in the future for me), but without native Autofill instead of the Universal Autofill hack, I need to migrate away.
I don't mean to sound so final, but it is a dealbreaker for me, not just a nice-to-have.
In addition to being well-integrated, it is also blazingly fast with amazing user experience. The 1Password extension takes seconds to even appear, and sometimes up to 10 seconds to even unlock and react.
