Re: Universal Autofill and Quick Access aren't working in Chromium browsers like Chrome and Brave

I've found that 1Password's universal autofill functionality (the Command+\ shortcut) is no longer working on Brave on Mac.  Versions are macOS 15.6.1, 1Password 8.11.8, and Brave 1.82.166.  This is on an M1 MB Pro.  Universal autofill works in Safari, and the 1Password extension drop-down prompts still work in both Safari and Brave.  Thanks!

    Any update on this?  The autofill shortcut has been broken for me over a year.  Apology without actual action is platitude.  If this is deprioritized, just say so to set our expectation right please.

    Our development team is investigating the issue alongside our friends at Apple but I don't have any updates to share at this time. For the time being, these are the best workarounds for Brave and Chrome specifically:

    1. Use 1Password in the browser (the browser extension) to fill your login information into Chromium browsers instead of using Universal Autofill: Get to know 1Password in your browser
    2. Use a non-Chromium browser like Firefox if you'd like to continue to use Universal Autofill. I know that this won't be possible for most people but I wanted to mention it just in case it helps.

      1P_Dave​ with 1Password in the browser can one define a keyboard shortcut to fill a login on a site when there is only one option?  That's the key thing I'm missing from Universal Autofill.

        There isn't currently a keyboard shortcut for autofill in 1Password in the browser itself. The currently best keyboard-based options are: 

        1. Press the down arrow to select the suggested login and then press Enter. 
        2. Press Shift-Command-X to open the 1Password pop-over, make sure the right login item is suggested, then press Enter. 


        I'll pass your idea to add a keyboard shortcut for autofill itself to our product team. I'm sorry that I don't have a better workaround to suggest at the moment.
