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

+1. Please add a toggle to disable auto submit.

Hi @mikeytwice / @wcmolina:

Thanks for your feedback. As Ben mentioned above, we're exploring the option for a toggle on this feature.

@scottsb:

The specific issue you're mentioning should be sorted out in version 8.8.0 of 1Password for Mac. After updating 1Password for Mac, look for a Login item (or items) linked to "Google Chrome". Edit that item, and remove the link to Google Chrome. From that point on you should be set and they should no longer be filled when not matching.

+1 for ability to disable autosubmit. Got locked out of my bank for submitting the wrong password too many times.

+1 for me as well.

I'm getting increasingly frustrated with 1Password 8 and the ton of non-answers from the AgileBits support staff. I get not wanting to make promises and what not, but when key functionality is either not working or missing, leaving your customers to guess as to not just when, but if things will get fixed is poor customer support to say the least.

Hope this gets fixed soon. It's a serious enough problem that I'm looking for another password manager

Agree - there are some devices that use bad logic that require you to add the OTP code in the SAME field as the password (SOPHOS XG firewall) for instance. I'm not saying they should do this like this, but it is, and I need to stop the auto submit or turn it OFF for select few items. Please...?

Hi folks, thank you for your feedback on this, and I'm sorry for the frustration it has caused.

As Jack mentioned, we're currently exploring a toggle option for the auto-submit feature, and will be happy to share news on this when we have news to share.

As a matter of policy, we generally don't give timelines for release of updates / improvements / fixes / new features, because software development is a dynamic thing, and in our experience, while it can be frustrating to have to wait until something is done to share it, it's almost always the least-problematic option. We'll look forward to letting you know when there's news on this feature, and really appreciate your patience as we work to make the app even better yet.

(Also, I have added votes for everyone who wasn't already tallied - notwithstanding that we're also already working on this feature in any case. Gotta make sure all the ts are crossed. 👍)

Glad you are working on it.

This is very important to me. Once it is in there, I will update all my systems to V8.

That's a pretty nasty bug, because in my case I've been submitting my PayPal password (which was linked to Chrome for some reason) to dozens of sites without even noticing. Which, incidentally, is the reason the autosubmit feature should be turned off by default, or at least I should be able to turn it off. Please fix this, it's insecure!

Thank you @meyertee1pw and @Chris100 for the additional detail here. I can understand why this is important to you and have included your feedback in our existing project regarding auto-submit handling. We'll be happy to provide more information on this once we've got updates to share, and thank you for your patience while we work on it!
