Filling passwords from 3rd party providers is bit cumbersome, as you are always first presented this pop-up menu:

It would be great if there was option to always default to Password Providers (skipping the selection menu), when not using Orion for storing passwords.

Also when selecting password providers, it seems that the current website URL is not passed to it. Instead you are presented a list of all logins and need to manually search for the correct one. On Safari login list is automatically filtered based on page URL to display relevant logins only.

    toni How would we know that user is not using Orion for storing passwords?

        Vlad Unfortunately I'm not macOS developer so I don't know how you can technically do it, but this is how Safari handles it:

        I can directly choose my password provider e.g. this case Strongbox, as opposed with Orion I need to first select "Password Providers...".

        If Safari's approach is somehow propietary / behind private APIs, then I guess this could be just an option in Orion preferences to use either Orion for passwords or a 3rd party provider as default.

            toni Thanks that is helpful. Will check if it is possible to circumvent an extra click.

                Was this done? I'm up-to-date and I still have the multi-click flow [1].

                [1] Multi-click flow:

                1. Click on password icon
                2. Click on "Password providers..."
                3. Click on my password provider (https://minimalistpassword.com)

                  pk There is an option in Settings to select 3rd pary provider to at least make the flow bit faster.
