You should not need to go through search/copy/paste for sites using 1Password as pressing Cmd+/ will do the job for you automatically. :-)
You may need the 1Password extension installed in your browser to do this: https://support.1password.com/1password-extension/ There are some places where it doesn’t work (when downloading from the App Store for example) but 95% of the time 1Password will do it all for you. For my Apple ID I have a 21 character mixed case/numeric password that, amazingly, stays in my head! Cheers, Stephen What do you get when you cross an agnostic, an insomniac and a dyslexic?
