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

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

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.

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.

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. :)

+1 on this for me too. It's surprising that 1Password works to be so seamless and effortless but integrating with the operating system's credential APIs wasn't a priority.

If ever there was another reason I don't care for browser extensions and really would prefer the native API solution.

Just for sake of completeness, also +1 on this feature, for all the reasons mentioned here. 🙂

I've also shared this wish in connection with previous instabilities of the safari extension, both in previous support requests and in this thread.

+1 on this feature. By supporting native autofill on macOS, 1password users will get better passkey and SMS code autofill experience. it can also make it possible to use 1password with other password manager. why not support this feature to make 1password more perfect. i don't think it is a feature that can not coexist with current autofill implementation

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the commitment that 1Password has made to security -- that's why I've been a user for 15 years. But I still would prefer to give even the most trusted software only the minimum permissions it needs to do its job.

Thanks for the feedback, I've shared it with the team as well.

The same security team that makes sure that your data is stored safely and securely in your 1Password account also reviews and secures the browser extension and Universal Autofill. In addition to the amazing work that our developers and security team have done to make sure that 1Password protects your data in various environments and scenarios, 1Password also undertakes multiple independent security audits from external venders, which you can read about here: https://support.1password.com/security-assessments/

You can also read more specifically about the security of 1Password in the browser here: About the security of 1Password in your browser
