Question

How Do I "Actually" Stop Auto Login? Not "stop" it, but actually, really, no-kidding stop it?

I have several work related websites that react badly to automatic login. I have unchecked automatic login globally, and locally, if it was available locally. They still try to automatically login. 

I am using the Chrome Add-on.  This means several sites I need regularly are unusable. I cannot continue to fight with this while I wait to find out how to "really" stop automatic login.

What is the trick? Do I have to use a different product altogether? Anyone else have this problem? 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @inspro,

I'm sorry to hear about the sign-in issue caused by the autosubmit feature. Although the autosubmit feature is enabled by default within the 1Password extension settings page, you could switch the option off under the "Autofill & save" section, as shown below:

However, the option is saved locally with the browser cache, meaning you will need to reset the option on new devices where you have the 1Password extension installed. I'm sorry about the inconvenience and confusion it caused.

Since you mentioned the sign-in issue only happens to a few work-related sites. Therefore, I'd recommend another workaround, you can turn off the autosubmit feature on an item-base within in 1Password extension. This way, the option will stored within the login item. Here are the steps:

(You will need to have the autosubmit feature, which is the "Sign in automatically after autofill" option mentioned above enabled. Otherwise the item-based option won't show up)

  1. Open your browser and unlock the 1Password extension there.
  2. Go to the website's login page.
  3. Click the 1Password icon in the toolbar area to open the popover window.
  4. The login item should be presented in the suggestion list or you can search for the login item.
  5.  Click the vertical three-dots icon on the top-right corner.
  6. Select the "Don't sign in automatically" option.

Hope the above helps. Let me know how it goes. 

-Kevin

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I appreciate the care you put into it. 

Unfortunately, this I have already done. However, certain websites the auto-login still happens.

This part might help: "However, the option is saved locally with the browser cache, meaning you will need to reset the option on new devices where you have the 1Password extension installed. I'm sorry about the inconvenience and confusion it caused."

Maybe I have turned it off only on one browser. I will double check that.

After that, I will try uninstalling and reinstalling. I was hoping there was a setting somewhere I had missed, but I believe I have done all as you described. 

Thank you again.

Hi @inspro,

It's my pleasure that I could assist with the case. Regarding what you mentioned: 

Maybe I have turned it off only on one browser. I will double check that.

Yes, you will need to turn off the option separately on different browsers. 

After that, I will try uninstalling and reinstalling. 

Keep in mind that the autosubmit option will be on by default on new installation. 

Meanwhile, I'd suggest you give my second workaround, which is the item-based autosubmit feature a try. The benefit is that the autosubmit feature will be saved within the login item itself rather than locally. This way, even if the extension global autosubmit option is turned on, the login items that had the item-based feature disabled won't encounter the sign-in issue. 

Let me know how it goes.
