Issue with Auto Save in Safari

One issue with using "suggested" passwords that popup in the field or.... clicking on the browser extension and choosing the "generated Password" that is highlighted is that they don't save immediately as a "Password". There are numerous times I have had issues where current auto save functionality just disappears. or you go to submit a new password to a site and 1password does not recognize that a new password was submitted to popup the "Save or replace login box. In 1Password 7 and earlier, I would never choose the suggested password for this reason, as well as the one I will state below, and would always click the "generate password" button and autofill, since that would always save the password to 1password and could easily be recovered and copied to an existing login.

In 1pass 8 How is the length off the password configured for the suggested password as well as the "generated Password" that is shown in the browser extension. The extension says the password is based on meeting the sites requirements but..... they are like 18 characters doing. for example, for this site I needed to re-do my password since I couldn't find my login in 1pass from the past and it came up as only 18 and if I did my own I can easily do 25. I tend to don 25+ for everything unless a site restricts it being smaller. This is also why I have never used the "suggested" password. No way to change that. Plus the fact it never autosaves in 1pass once selected for the site.

1Password Version: 8.10.39
Extension Version: 2.27.1
OS Version: MacOS 12.7.4
Browser: Safari

This has happened again. This time I was creating a new account. Used the suggested password. I was presented with the auto save box. I waited until I submitted the password to ensure no issues. Auto save box popped back up and I tried to save but the save button was no clickable. I then had to reset the password and try again. This time I used the generated password presented. Same thing happened.

Hello @imt! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into issues with the autosave feature. I tried to duplicate your test with the community when resetting a password but everything appears to be working on my end. The 1Password prompt will wait for you to save the new password before it disappears. Just to confirm: can you still reproduce the issue on the forum using 1Password in the browser version 2.27.1?

The second issue was the other day. I was asked to update a password. I again used the browser extension and used the generated password provided. It populated the site and immediately brought up the autosave. The issue this time is there are a large number of logins for this site saved in 1password.across my family, work, etc. Thus the popup was too long and did not show the "submit" button on the bottom. There is no scroll bar to get to the button.

I'm sorry that you're unable to scroll the 1Password prompt when you have a lot of saved items. This is a known issue that our development team is aware of and is investigating. For the time being, try this workaround:

1. When you are suggested to update an existing login item, click New Item instead.
2. Next to the item, click the Edit button.
3. In the pop-up window that appears, switch to Update existing and choose the item you'd like to update there.

Let me know if that helps. 🙂

I have been busy and wanted to resurrect this thread for a while now. I thought maybe the issue was due to older Mac OS and/or Older Safari. I have asinine updated both. I am on an intel Mac and running Ventura 13.7.2 and its current Safari.

This issue constantly happens.

Let me articulate it. In a nutshell. The autosave function constantly fails to Allow me to Save a New or Existing Login. Clicking the Save button does nothing. Thus I have learned from my mistakes and NEVER use the suggested password showing in the field, since no way to copy it and if you submit you new login or new password change it can be lost and thus, never saved.

So, if I am on a site either to create a new login or update a password. I never use the suggested password showing in the field, since frequently I have an issue with Auto Save.

I click on the 1Password Safari extension. I see the "Generate Password" option. Learning from my mistakes with this issue, I always click "Copy" and then click the "Auto Fill". Once I submit the new login or password change. You get the Auto Save popup. I can click new or existing but many times I can't click Save. Either for New or Existing. The button does nothing. Thus, the only option I then have is to open 1Password and create a new login from scratch. Thus, manually entering in the login name, User Name and pasting in the copied Password.

If I reboot the computer the autosave works again and after a while it does not. Maybe an issue coming out of sleep or moving the computer between home and work and coming out of sleep. But.... This is a repeated issue and highly frustrating.

One additional note.

I see that when you generate a password it saves solely in the extensions "Password Generator" history and not in 1password itself. Why? In prior generations of 1 password all generated passwords would save inside of your 1password in the passwords sections. At least there should be a similar generated password section in the main 1password application then.

In addition, if you look at the "Generated Password" history there are two options in the dropdown. Copy or delete. There should be an option here to "Convert to Login", which also would have addressed the approach I had to take in the second to last paragraph of manually adding the login in the 1Password application. If you could just click "Convert to Login" here as well, then you would already have the site address, Site Name and Password at least as a starting point vs completely starting from scratch.
