Please consider integrating 1Password as a Credential Provider on macOS.
For my personal life I am using iCloud Keychain to store my passwords and passkeys, for work we use 1Password and I am quite fond of using it. But I do have something I would like to see improved.

9 months agoThank you for the feedback, I've merged your other comment into your existing thread so that we can keep the conversation in one place. The native AutoFill feature in macOS doesn't support all of the features that 1Password offers which makes completely replacing our extension with it a non-starter. These features include but are not limited to:
- Filling identity and credit card items.
- SSH key generation.
- Compatibility with integrations like Privacy.com and Fastmail masked email aliases.
- Use of 1Password's own filling brain.
- Support for features like sign-in with, autosubmit, and 1Password's standalone password generator.
- Smart/Memorable password generation right on the page using 1Password's password generator.
Replacing 1Password's browser extension with macOS AutoFill limits what 1Password can do to only the features that Apple decides to add to macOS AutoFill. That being said, I have filed a feature request with our team to look into expanding support for passkey saving and sign in in Safari Web Apps and other desktop apps. The team will consider all options, including macOS AutoFill.
On iOS 17 and aligned releases on their other platforms they introduced a capability where you can pick a username/password from iCloud Keychain in any textfield in cases where the system did not detect it as a username/password field. On the new beta's (iOS 18 and aligned releases) Apple is opening this up so other credential providers, like 1Password, can also fill out credentials in textfields that were not detected as a username/password field.
I'm glad to hear that this is now working with third-party password managers. It's a common point of confusion for folks who have disabled iCloud Keychain for iOS AutoFill but still see it when double-tapping on a field and then tapping on AutoFill.
Apple's popup always pops up first, in my experience anyway. During passkey authentication this is an annoyance: the websites request I sign in with a passkey, so the System UI comes up, but does not find any passkey in iCloud Keychain. So I dismiss the popup, after which the website considers it a failed request. So I have to click the button to try again, and then 1Password comes up with the found passkey.
This sounds like you might have both iCloud Keychain and 1Password enabled in Safari which is causing a conflict. Can you try these steps:
- Make sure that 1Password is set as a default password manager in Safari and that the built-in password manager is turned off: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser
- Click on the  in the menu bar and then clicking System Settings.
- Click Passwords.
- Click Password Options.
- Turn off "AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys".
Then try to sign in with a passkey again: Save and sign in with passkeys in your browser
Let me know how that goes. 🙂
