Option for mini menu location?

For the MacOS Safari plugin, is there any chance we could get an option so the 1Password and Apple's Passwords mini-menus don't always overlap/compete in the same fields? Just an offset, or put them at opposite ends? I wouldn't mind them both being there if they weren't right on top of each other. It seems like that would be a much better default user experience vs. expecting the user to try and click on one vs the other. Or shut one of them off.

Hi @eebclee! Thanks for writing in.

We believe 1Password is the best tool to save and fill your data. With that in mind, 1Password wasn’t designed to work alongside other password managers. Using the browser’s password manager at the same time as 1Password can cause conflicts such as what you've described. You can stop Safari from offering to save and fill information with the steps in this guide.

Apologies if I misunderstood, but it sounds like you'd prefer the option to run 1Password and Apple Password concurrently. If that's the case, could you share a bit more about why you'd like to use both, or the kind of day-to-day scenarios this would help with? As mentioned, our primary focus isn't making 1Password work alongside other password managers, but I'd be happy to share your feedback with the team.

Thanks again!

Hi Timothy,

Apple's new Passwords is on by default, so the default experience for most users trying 1Password on Safari is that both are now broken. In my case I've turned off 1Password in Safari and use it manually when needed instead, but it would be great to be able to leave the plugin on.

The day to day scenarios this would help with are using pretty much any Apple product. Passwords is everywhere now on my Macs, my iPhone, my iPad, and better integrated than 1Password (which is almost certainly Apple's fault in not giving 1Password the same level of access). If it comes to only Apple products, the path of least resistance by far is shutting off 1Password, not Passwords, unfortunately. But I don't live in only the Apple world, and I still find 1Password super useful. It would just be great if the path of least resistance didn't make me shut off either one.

Thanks for following up with me and sharing this feedback @eebclee.

For a number of reasons (cross device compatibility as you mentioned is a great example), we design with 1Password being the solution in mind. That said, we're also very interested in reducing friction where possible, and optimizing workflows. So, thanks again for sharing more about how you're using 1Password and how you'd like to see the product evolve. It's very helpful for us. I can't say if or when your suggestions will be implemented, but I've shared your feedback with the team.

Let us know if there's anything we can help with!
