Question

How do I disable form autosubmit?

In 1Password 8 when I fill a login in Safari, it automatically submits the login. I would like 1Password to fill out the fields but not hit the submit button.

In earlier versions of 1Password, I was able to do that but I can’t find the equivalent setting in 1Password 8.

Note: I’m using the Cmd-\ quick access panel to fill in passwords.


1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

This is SO annoying

Please bring back a toggle for auto submit

I don't want that on many sites I use and it's making me consider dropping back to v7 at this point.

Really frustrating

It's been several months and this ability to disable autosubmit still hasn't been brought back. Such a basic feature. I can't believe it. Just can't.

@mixture It’s also been several months and still full of bugs on Monterey and Catalina.

Ya, it's really sad and frustrating as a long time user and supporter of 1Password. 1Password used to be fast and innovative and I loved it, recommended it to others, and pushed for use at work. On the outside it is really confusing what happened to the company. Can we please get back to the "Agile" part of AgileBits? Yes, move fast, break things, take chances on new technology and patterns -- but you have to also be able to quickly fall back or react to the results of those actions.

I've downgraded everything to 1Password 7, and am looking at other options, both for my personal/family use as well as corporate use. 1Password 8's behaviors and mandates on my work just break too many things. It's super sad too, as there are some neat features in 1Password 8 (SSH AGENT!), but they just can't overcome the combination of missing features like this (just don't bloody submit for me), frequent slowness or failure to fill, and inconsistent search results.

I have to echo the sentiments from previous posters here. I've been using 1Password for nearly a decade now and this is the first major update that has forced me back to the previous version.

Safari is actually the one browser where we're explicitly not reaching out to the browser extension to perform fills right now,** instead relying entirely on accessibility-based filling** (when using CMD + ). This is due to some challenges we've had getting the Safari extension to quickly and reliably perform actions when requested by the desktop app. We're actively working on this issue and we hope to be able to use the Safari extension to perform fills when using CMD + \ in the future, just like every other browser.

@ag_jarek Is there any update on this? This is by far the biggest pain point I have with 1Password 8 at this point. The accessibility based filling with Safari is awful, particularly when combined with the fact that it auto submits the login form.

Yes, I realize I can use CMD + SHIFT + X, but using CMD + \ is pure muscle memory at this point.

+1 for this feature.
I gave up on 1Password7, and finally decided to switch to 8. The auto-submit caused me several times issues with banks, and some other websites, where the captcha is present. I don't believe this should be considered as a feature request but as a regression. This feature existed in 1Password 7, and I don't see why it is not in 8. Please escalate.

This issue / request has been open since May. Can we get a response from 1Password if making auto-submit an optional toggel is even on the road map fro the devs? Early on there was talk about "counting votes" for this issue. From this htread alone, there seems to be plenty of user interest. Could we get an idea of how many folks have asked for this? Add me as a +1 for making auto-submit optional again. Thanks.

I just upgraded to 1Password 8 and thought I was missing something because this is so infuriating to the UX. Please fix this and provide an update here.

Is there really no way to turn this off? I just got locked out of an account because it kept auto-submitting the wrong form (there were 2 on the page).

Hi folks,

Thanks for following up. While I can't share any specifics just yet, adding a toggle for this is definitely on our roadmap. Thanks for your feedback!
