No auto-type in 1PW8?

I want to bump this feature, too! - Coming from KeePass, this is an absolute dealbreaker!

Hello @SirDaxALot and jonashilmersson,

Thanks for your feedback about the implementation of an auto-fill feature. This is on our roadmap, but I have no further news to share. Our 1Password releases page will be the best source for updates and new features like this. We appreciate your patience!

I also want to vote for this feature!

It's a required feature and it's present in most competing tools -- a big disadvantage 1password if they do not provide it.

Hello @matt789,

Thanks for your feedback and kind words about 1Password.

As requested, I have included your vote for the auto-type feature. I have no additional news to share, but this is something we'd like to see implemented into Quick Access. Please keep an eye in our release notes for new features: 1Password Releases.

Have a great day!

I'm a long time Keepass user evaluating 1password. There is much I like about 1Password (including the great whitepaper), but I was very surprised to find that such a critical feature at auto-type was not available. I frequently used the rich auto-type feature in Keepass including the great windows matching options. The simple macro-like capability is also a must have (type just password, username and password, keystrokes to navigate between username and password field, press enter to submit login, etc).

Time will tell if this is a deal breaker for me. Please add a vote for auto-type (with automatic window matching).

Hello elidor,

I just wanted to touch base with you quickly and let you know the team has made improvement to the latest Beta. The 1Password app no longer appears in the list of apps shown when using “Type in window”: 1Password for Windows 8.9.7-31

Use 1Password beta releases

Have a great day!

Hello elidor,

Thanks for sending along your additional details about your workflow and these suggestions. Based on those details, you are using the feature correctly, but I'm sorry to hear that this hasn't improved your workflow.

Related to your comment about the 1Password window always appearing first in the list, the team is currently looking at ways to improve the contents of this list.

While I have no additional news to share, I previously added your voice to our feature request for an Auto-type feature in Quick Access. We appreciate your feedback!

Hi ag_mike_d

thanks for the suggestion. I installed the beta version. Let me just walk you through what I did to make sure i did not use that feature wrong.

I opened the windows application, searched for the correct 1Password entry by using Crtl+Shift+Space, opened the mini version with enter. After that it works right as you described. Rightclick on the username, select "Type in window" then select the window and it fills that one out, I have to press Tab by myself, then do the same thing for the password and press enter myself.
I really don't know if that speeds up my workflow that much since my previous workflow was just to copy and paste the user and password...

One suggestion for that manual "Type in window" feature: When rightclicking you have to open the submenu to select the open windows. They are sorted in a way the most recent used window is shown at the top. But the 1Password Mini Window is always the first entry even if I do not select the window before rightclicking. I never want 1Password to enter a Password in itself, so it would be great if that was not the first entry.
For making the workflow event better I would prefere if just clicking on the menu point "Type in window" would type in the window that was last active. If i want another window I can still hold my mouse over that point and open the submenu.

In conclusion I don't think that feature would make my workflow faster since copy and paste is not really slow. But at least we now know that 1Password is able to see the windows names and to type for the user. Now we just need to map a password to a windowname, add a Tab and Enter and start that sequence by pressing a shortcut ;)
If I used that feature wrong, please correct me, I am always looging for optimization in my own workflow.

Not sure this really helps at all. Windows like Windows Security do not show up as a type in option. Not sure why this can't be easy as KeePass where not only can you select a Windows Security window or any windows for that matter, but you can script exactly what you want to auto-type to include things like tab, enter, etc. Is there a licensing issue with some technology? If I wanted to, I could use KeePass to fill in an entire form with a singe hot key no issues. That is level of customization that I wanted here. This is what lots of people want just by doing some internet searching on the topic. Without it I cannot justify giving 1Password my money either for family or business accounts. I would even pay extra for it as an add-on or something to the base 1Password app.
