Snippet auto-expansion in 1Password

[ficus_89]

I have snippet auto-expansion turned on and it works throughout MacOS other than when I am using 1Password.

 

- If I type a snippet in the 1Password search field, I hear the expansion feedback sound but no text appears.

- If I type a snippet into a new item field, the snippet does not automatically expand at all.

 

Any thoughts gratefully received as to how to get this to work.

 

Many thanks.

@ficus_89 If you pop open Alfred's preferences to Features > Snippets, do you see a red notice telling you that secure entry is locked during that time?

 

It would look something like this (but with 1PW as the app preventing text expansion):

 

 

Note that it can take a few seconds for this message to appear in Alfred once you go into a secure field.

 

This is an intentional action from 1Password, as it aims to keep your data secure by not allowing third-party apps to read your keystrokes while in 1Password. This is sensible as you could be copying or creating passwords that you don't want seen by apps that save things as plain text.

 

Cheers,
Vero

@Vero Thank you very much! That makes sense, and yes, that is the message I'm getting. Thanks for your help.
