Quick access - autofill choose field

The ability to choose to autofill and pick which field ie.. username or password. I tried using autofill in iTerm2 and I couldn’t get to autofill, but also sometimes I just want the password to be filled.

    So I noticed one particular issue with iTerm2 when it prompts for a password. So autofill doesn’t seem to work, which I think is intentional from OS since it is a secure entry. So I think this particular use requires using the pasteboard.

    This stems from a few different areas
    First, the keyboard shortcuts for copy username and password (or any the built in functions) are not customizable.
    Second, eliminating a step and adding the data to the pasteboard
    Third, is sometimes 1Password may not know what I want to fill so if there is a prompt that I only need the username to be filled for or the password.

    Does that help explain it better?

    Hi snowy,

    Thanks for sharing this idea, to ensure I'm understanding it correctly, you'd like to see options in Quick Access to fill just the username or just the password for a particular item?

    If you click the 3 dots or press the right arrow key on your keyboard when an item is selected you'll see some additional options, of which "copy username" and "copy password" are included:

    I'd be interested to know if these work for your use case or if you have an idea for another implementation!
