How do I disable form autosubmit?

People have been begging for this at least going back to May, and in the intervening time, people have posted a number of examples of it causing real problems and have posted at length how this is, in fact, a security bug. Heck, in July, I posted about how this directly led to leaking a bunch of my own family's PII and private information to outsiders. These are serious security concerns.

The bottom line is that this "feature" is a disaster, as you guys knew it was when you killed it the first time around in the v7 days. Yet, a fix is still only on the roadmap? That suggests some time in the future other than the near-future, and it's already been months and many releases. I'm pretty patient, but this is not the type of fix that should take months or (gulp) years to implement. If adding a toggle in the UI is that complicated, then just delete the one or two method calls that trigger the submit; it's better we have to wait for the toggle to get the feature back than wait for the toggle to be able to disable the thing.

I’m also surprised at how long this is taking to resolve. I downgraded back to v7 a few months ago, optimistically thinking I’d be on 8 later in the year. But judging by the pace of minor fixes like this, to say nothing of some of the bigger problems with 8, I’ll remain on v7 for a couple years. Kind of a bummer, but at least v7 is working as well as ever for now.

Hi @BobW / @skatch:

Thanks for following up on this. While I can't promise a timeline, I'm hopeful this will be sooner rather than later.

+1, prevents me from checking the "remember me" box and also is just annoying! Also would like an option to always show the list of possible logins even when there's just one. Right now pressing the hotkey for Universal Autofill feels very "risky."

+1. I'm still on v7 and won't be upgrading to v8 until you Remove AutoSubmit and the other bugs in v8.

+1, the "remember me" behavior is very annoying. Not only does it not let me check it, sometimes it un-checks it even on sites where it's initially visible if I've explicitly checked the checkbox beforehand!! I can't find any way to edit hidden form fields in the UI, either.

While autosubmit is horrible, I'd also love to be able to disable autofill and get ride of the 1Password icon everywhere I'm trying to fill in my address, phone, etc. Safari does a nice job of autofill for these things, but the new 1Password v8 is completely taking over all of it. I've been with 1Password since the beginning, and don't want to start over somewhere else, but I may have to. The autofill is making me crazy.

@aceeare You can turn off the Safari prompts in the browser extension settings. Right-click on the toolbar icon to access settings (these are separate from the Mac app’s settings). Try turning off Autofill > Show autofill menu on field focus. You’ll still see the 1P icon in form fields, but you’ll have to click it to display the list of available logins. Much less whack-a-mole this way. 🙂

Thanks! I did that, and then decided to just go ahead and reinstall 7 which is making me feel so much better. No autofill, autosubmit, and everything is back in alphabetical order. Whew.

I just discovered that 1Password 8 auto-submits with no way to disable it while I was logged into my webhost's admin panel and I was trying to set the FTP user and database passwords for a newly hosted domain. v8 kept auto-submitting the password I use to log into my webhost's site and never giving me a chance to enter the specific passwords that I wanted to use for my OWN domain. I had to completely disable the v8 Chrome browser extension altogether before I was able to input the actual passwords that I wanted to use. Please, please, PLEASE give us a way to disable auto-submit in v8!
