My language is not supported and I have a lot of texts red-underlined from the spell-checker. I don't want it. How can I turn it off?

Same issue here, I am in the trial period. Not having the option to disable the spell checker is affecting the quality of life of UI. It could be a deal breaker for me. Besides, I can see it has been requested multiple times with no effect...uhm.

Welcome to 1Password! I would be happy to pass along your feedback to the team. Can you tell me where you're seeing the spellcheck affect the experience for you? Is it when using arbitrary usernames like some have reported above? Or when using words in another language?

It appears in any text field, underlining many words. I attach two screenshots as an example. Thanks

Thank you for those screenshots, I've shared them with the team and let them know of your request to add an option to turn off the spellcheck in 1Password. While I can't make any promises, the team will consider the request for the future. 🙂

How long will it take until there is an option to disable the spell checking?

The request is still open but I don't have any updates to share. I'm happy to pass along your feedback as well, can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to turn spellcheck off?

First: I am working in two languages. Any spell checking will fail in at least one language.
Second: Spell checking is a feature. Features must be toggled on an off.
Third: I dislike spell checking in general and the red lines hurt my eyes. ;)

Thank you for those details, I've passed those along to the team internally. They'll look into adding an option to turn off spellcheck in 1Password in the future. 🙂

Here's my vote to pass to the dev-team as well. It's driving me nuts. Having multilanguage items in 1P is a UX disaster. It's almost as bad as working with MS Teams. At least give us the option in the beta for a little JSON property {spellcheck: false} or something.

As for the question why?

That's why.
