When initiating a Login with 1PW, from a desktop computer, one can use the double-click, keystroke combination of ⌘ \ (Cmd Backslash) to have 1PW auto-enter your Username & Password (as well as select & enter Answers to Security Questions).

1PW works in relation to the Web Site's Login URL, which is part of the Login's details; and, this is how 1PW knows which Login is to be entered. ...When ⌘ \ is initiated, one's keyboard entry is by using only those 2 keys.

This Login step does require prior entry of one's Master Password (MP), in order to open 1PW. But given one's using 1PW (in this case) on one's desktop computer, it should be easy to manually enter the MP in a secure way (avoiding furtive eyes). [If one can't do so, then, I think such a user has more critical vulnerabilities.] Moreover, one can set 1PW for the time length before the MP is again required; or on the other hand, one can immediately lock 1PW. ...As I'm now using a new MBP 15, I can activate 1PW from the Trackpad using TouchID.

My Web Logins are all complicated (both in length & text/number/characters combinations) due to using 1PW's Password Generator (in a controlled environment, to control / setup / change Login passwords) and different for every Login.

When it comes to Web Logins, I know, from memory, only 2 passwords (although I've saved them, for reference, as a 1PW Secure Note.) ... my 1PW MP (12 characters) & my Apple ID's password (18 characters). [My ID PW is longer since I may have to manually enter it in less secure circumstances (and is subject to hacker attempts on Apple's servers). Outside of someone filming me, which I could defeat, I seriously doubt anyone could memorize, in the moment, what I'm typing.]

Additionally, I use 1PW's iOS versions on my iPhone & iPad, and these iOS versions can be activated by TouchID or now, by FaceID. So on devices I'm using in public, I'm not manually typing any passwords.

Even if any of my devices are stolen, 1PW's details are 256-bit encrypted (both on my MBP & iCloud) as well as protected by a lengthy & unique MP, which would defeat any brute force attempt to ferret it out before I could change my MP.

I have been using 1PW ever since the software was introduced. 1PW is well supported by Agile Bits and their regular improvements are innovative. I have never used any other password manager as I feel there's no reason to do so as well as being the best password manager. 1PW is an essential means in my strategy to protect, and use, my most important, web details.
