> The 1Password mobile and desktop apps have such a nice UX that I’m happy copy pasting from and into it instead of having any of the browser extensions enabled.

Also a great way of missing out on one of the best protections of password managers; completely eliminating phishing even without requiring thinking. And yes, still requires you to avoid manually copy-pasting without thinking when it doesn't work, but so much better than the current approach you're taking, which basically offers 0 protection against phishing.

My approach is that for critical sites like banking, I use the site URL stored in the password manager too, I don't navigate via any link clicking. I personally am fine with thinking when my entire net worth is potentially at stake.

In Safari on iOS I have all the main pages I use as favourites, so that they show on the home screen of Safari.

Likewise I have links in the bookmarks bar on desktop.

I use these links to navigate to the main sites I use. And log in from there.

I don’t really need to think that way either.

But I agree that eliminating the possibility all-together is a nice benefit of using the browser integration, that I am missing out on by not using it.
