> the webpage attached to the original 'save login' prompt is not the one you are on - the auto popup underneath the login field has nothing to show and I cannot manually find and enter it

Is it the same URL as what was saved in the login? If not, then this is intended behaviour to stop phishing attacks and has saved my butt several times. If the autofill doesn't work, either the website has changed the base URL, I've misconfigured it, or it is a phishing site

> I have to go to the Desktop app, search, find, and copy

Use the browser extension?

I'm not sure what issues you're having. Personally not only has the product improved every year, trying other password managers makes me realise what a hard problem autofilling is and how little I have to think about it with 1P. The new desktop app has some issues though and some missing features though it's pretty snappy

To both your points - a great example is right here on HN. If I right click and go to 1pass, I no longer can open any mini window. I instead am given the option of Lock, Save Login, Help, or Hide on this page. Completely breaks my 5+ years of muscle memory to right click on a field and find what I need.

Now if I open the browser extension in the top right, my Favorites are not my favorites...they're the favorites of my team and one of my shared vaults. My Suggestions tab is empty. And even better, when I search "ycombinator" or "hacker" or "hn" nothing comes up. "No results found in All Vaults" and if I click search everywhere I get "No results found"

Now when I go over to the Desktop app, I search any one of the above and I immediately find my credentials for HN. It's stupid simple just like it used to be in the browser.

Hmm yeah I'm really not sure what the issue is here. Maybe try contacting support on their forums if you've not already. I never really used the right click menu and never needed to so far since the suggestions have always worked so maybe there's some other problem you're facing

That is interesting. When I read your initial comment, I was completely bewildered because the software keeps getting better and more reliable and the new browser extension saves me lots of time. It wouldn't have occurred to me to use that right-click menu for anything, though, and I can see how it might have done something useful in the past for you. Different experiences that happen to share a product name!
