When using Microsoft Authenticator to sign into a Microsoft account, I have to enter a number. 1Password has a popup asking whether I want to save password.

This is an unwanted popup since I will never save the number

How to disable popup?

I was looking for the same thing. This seemed to have just started for me. I use MS Authenticator all the time for different accounts for work and it is quite annoying to have it offer to save all the time for the OTP.

Same here.

I looked thru my accounts, but can't find what's triggering it.

Same here. Or add "Never for this Site" to the list of current options ("Don't Save" and "Save", I think) so that I never have to see the popup in the MS Authenticator app, again. It pops up every time I get an request on the MS Authenticator app and I sometimes get a lot of requests via the authenticator app.

This is a new "feature" and I'm not a fan. Also looking to disable it.

I opened an issue with support and they say

The auto-save popup is a feature released in the latest version of the 1Password for the Android app. It cannot be turned off without disabling Autofill in the 1Password for Android app.

Obviously disabling Auto fill is defeating one of the main uses of 1Password.

Support goes on to say

However, we've received reports of this popup appearing when opening certain apps, including the Microsoft Authenticator app. We've created an issue for our development team to investigate further and for an option to possibly add an option to toggle this feature off/on. I've added you as an affected user to our internal reporting.

I replied to support with this thread in case they want to link it to their internal ticket.

@1P_Evon I'm having the same issue. I can imagine the challenge of handling the behavior of apps and websites while maintaining security. Please add me to the list of people interested in a fix.
