Automatically enter password for native apps

I love how I can use 1password to automatically insert my username and password into web apps using the safari/chrome/firefox plugin.

What I would really like to do is have similar functionality when using a native app.

An example of this might be:

Every time I use a VPN service like pulse secure I need to enter my username and password. Could/Can 1Password do this for me?

  • Hi @kmace

    At present we're not able to directly enter passwords into non-browser Mac apps. That said, the same ⌘ \ keyboard shortcut you use in your browser should still bring up 1Password and make getting to the item you need much quicker. It'd be great if in the future this could be further expanded to actual filling, but my understanding is there aren't any system-wide APIs that would allow for secure filling in 3rd party apps on Mac at this point in time.
