Safari uses the Apple bucket, that is also exposed through the Apple's Chrome extension and also when you go to System preferences Passwords pane.

When you view passwords in Orion, you are also viewing passwords saved on Keychain, just in this case Orion's bucket.

There are various system API's that allow apps to read from each other's bucket (obviously all Apple apps have access to Apple's keychain bucket). This is how you can autofill passwords from different keychains in Orion (for example Apple's - which I call Safari's because this is how typically passwords land in it).

While I started this by giving you the plug .. the lack of it being the same password bucket combined with not getting 1Password to play nice, is what prevents me from making daily use, or rolling it out across my engineering employee base. I really like it otherwise.
Actually 1pw should be working properly now, after an extremely long time
