1P conflict with win 11 or edge

Hi All. I appreciate the forum people's willingness to help. New windows 11 home pc. Beginner user of 1P and win 11, though pretty conversant with pc and previous versions of windows. Setting up 1P items from old desktop shortcuts to gradually get more secure. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I ran into some conflicts with edge://settings/autofill/passwords putting old user/password credentials into login boxes when I didn't want them. I think I have that all turned off now, and have definitely deleted the user/pw info in that directory for the particular item I am trying to figure out. What happens is when I open and fill the url for this 1P item, it fills in a password but not username. The website then asks for my email, which if I type it in and accept, I get logged in properly. But why is the username not filled in? It is in the 1P item. It is getting that password from somewhere but I don't think the 1P program. Can anyone tell me?

Hello @Salguod! 👋

I'm sorry that 1Password isn't filling your username into a particular website. Can you share the address of the webpage where you're running into this issue so that I can try to reproduce the issue on my end?

If you don't want to share the website address on the public community then you can email it to support@1Password.com along with a link to this thread.

Hi Dave. Thank you for the response. Rather than going that route I would like to reiterate what is happening, because I do not think it is specific to that website. What happens is this: I create a new 1P login item that has the username and password from an old transferred (from a win 10 to win 11 os) internet shortcut, and when I "open and fill," when I get to the URL, windows has already filled in the username and password from windows password manager. I assume this because I get a dialogue box that is not the 1P dialogue box, and has the option to "manage passwords." If I click on manage passwords, I go into the edge://settings/autofill/passwords location where I see a number of windows previously saved username/password items. It seems like there is some conflicting functionality between 1P and Windows Password Manager, rather than a glitch. I was hoping that this would be a familiar conflict someone would recognize.

Thank you for the clarification! You wrote:

It sounds like you still have the built-in password manager turned on. You'll need to follow the steps in this article: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

In order to completely turn off the built-in password manager in Edge you'll need to move all of your saved password over to 1Password and then delete them from the built-in password manager.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues.

Thank you. I checked out that link and I think you are right. I am going to import all of my Edge PWs into 1P and then delete them from windows password manager. When I import these passwords into 1P from Edge, will it overwrite any items I have in 1P already?
