Safari password dropdown covers 1Password dropdown

This isn't a new issue, but it persists, and with Apple more aggressively trying to provide password support in Safari, and with similar issues in other browsers, I'm hoping there's a solution to be found.

The main issue is that the browser password dropdown menu covers the 1Password dropdown menu, and hitting escape closes both menus, so it's cumbersome to try to click on the 1Password menu to dismiss the browser menu without selecting a login, and you're doing that blind, so in the case of, for example, an admin and a user login, the 2 password 1Password menu is too short to be readable, and the order isn't guaranteed, so you're clicking blind, often on the wrong login.

It would be useful to have a visible UI element that could close the browser menu and leave the 1Password menu visible, or an option to have 1Password menus open up instead of down as a user preference, which would then display away from the browser menu. I think the first option would be most consistent from a UI standpoint, but honestly there's so much friction currently that any solution would be better.

There are instances where I want the browser passwords to display, so turning that off isn't a good option.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @Alignsoft! 👋

Thanks for reaching out. Both 1Password, and the built-in password manager in Safari, aren't designed to work alongside each other and I recommend that you move all of your passwords to 1Password and then turn off the built-in password manager:

Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

Alternatively, you can turn off 1Password's automatic suggestions:

Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
Click Settings.
Click Autofill & save.
Turn off "Show autofill suggestions when a form field is in focus".

Going forward you can close the Apple menu by pressing the esc key on your keyboard and then click the 1Password icon in the username/password field to see suggestions from 1Password.

This is definitely still an issue in Sequoia Version 15.2 (24C101). 1Password gets covered by Passwords.app on forms. Making things worse, 1Password is much more convenient to use on macOS because it stays open. Passwords is much more convenient on iOS and iPadOs because Passwords.app stays open.
Is there any way to offset 1Password's micro window, so we can click it in macOS.
It's like they are fighting, with 2, 3 or more drop-down.

Thanks for reaching out. I recommend that you choose to use either Apple Passwords or 1Password and not both at the same time. Moving your passwords to 1Password and then turning off the built-in password manager will prevent prompts from the built-in password manager from conflicting with 1Password:

Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

Passwords is much more convenient on iOS and iPadOs because Passwords.app stays open.

You can configure the auto-lock settings for 1Password on your iPhone and iPad if you'd like 1Password to stay unlocked for longer periods of time: How to set 1Password to lock automatically

I hope that helps.
